I have around 6 to 7 month with the vehicle and since day one it made a weard noise in the engine transmission area and the vehicle doesnt respond and perform well I took it to the dealership and at first they stated it was something with the transmission and then they started giving me manydiferent excuses and that it was normal but still the SUV wouldnt respond I called GM and they opened a ticket but after that they said they could not do anything about it in other words they told me I had to deal with the issue.

The navigation/media center will either go completely black or completely white screen even when backing up you lose the camera and can't shut off the radio. If the screen goes white during evening driving the reflection of the windshield is so severe I can't drive and the system will not shut off when the power button is depressed. I have taken it to dealership, they replaced the radio once. It is doing it again less than a month later. GMC said they know about this issue with the vehicle but do not know why or have a fix. In the mean time I am to drive my vehicle since they do not see this as a safety concern. I have attached a photo from yesterday I was in the process of backing up when the whole screen went black. I was backing out of my driveway onto a city street. When we got to our destination and shut the car off the radio stayed on even once we exited the vehicle and shut and locked the doors. I am worried about the potential of a fire hazard as well.

Stopped at a light to make a left turn. The vehicle jerked, then shifted from drive to park. The info system gave me the following messages: Transmission, stabilitrak and parking assist. I turned the vehicle off and tried to restart it. I got a message that said "this vehicle is unsafe to drive.:" at this time non of the gear options were available. A roseville, Michigan police officer had to position herself behind me becsuse cars were going around me on both sides (my four way blinkers were on).the tow truck driver was unable to put the vehicle in neutral, thus my vehicle had to be dragged onto the truck. At the dealer they were unable to change gears and once again my vehicle was dragged off the tow truck prior to this incident. I reported to the dealer the rocky, bouncy, pulling ride which made the vehicle hard to control. I also reported the jerking while driving and in the auto stop. Despite all of my verbalizations of the concerns, they, wrote the work orders in dealer language and only addressed what they wanted.
The first time while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle instrument panel warning lights activated and gauges fluctuated followed by acceleration, braking and steering movement. Then the information panel displayed stabilitrak unavailable, collision warning unavailable, lane change alert unavailable and transmission service. The car then started shifting erratically. The 2nd time same situation while driving 30-40 mph.
