During an oil change I noticed unusual wear on the front passenger side tire. Upon investigation my mechanic found that the chassis was cracked which pushed the tire causing it to rub. Very concerned this could have caused a very bad accident.

Hi , I came on here to see if there was an issue with airbags deploying on the gmxlc sierra 2022. A cow hobbled out into the route 11 , mooers , NY and I impacted with It well over 45mph . My chest hit the steering wheel and my neck was jerked forward and no airbag. Not sure if something is wrong woth the sensor or what. Also be advised the fatality in this incident was the cow annoyed down below.

As I'm driving in my car the normal/regular headlights on the GMC Sierra were so bright that I could not see the road in front of me. I could include the Subaru lineup and the Toyota Rav4 in this. I have not seen such bright lights other than when others have had their high-beams on. Please do something. Thank you.
