GM SAYS THIS IS HOW IT IS, I AND MANY OTHER OWNERS AGREE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE GM REALLY NEEDS TO ADD A BRIGHTNESS CONTROL FOR THE CAMERA THEY USED TO HAVE IT BUT IT'S BEEN REMOVED THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT SOME AGENCY HAS DETERMINED OR CAME UP WITH RULES THAT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO TURN OFF BACKUP CAMERA OR CHANGE BRIGHTNESS IF THIS IS THE CASE THEY HAVE CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD IT'S UNREASONABLE TO NOT HAVE A CHOICE.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE PRESSURE PROBLEMS. THE AUTOMATION TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM ZERO MILES PER HOUR OR AT LOW SPEEDS.

THIS "JERKING" FROM THE START CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF HITTING ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE OF IT NOT BEING CONTROLLED PROPERLY WHEN MOVING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AREAS SUCH AS HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC AREAS, HIGH COUNTS OF PEDESTRIANS WALKING ACROSS THE STREET, PARALLEL PARKING, AND PARKING CLOSE TO ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF YOU OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF OBJECT IN FRONT OF YOU.
