While backing out of the driveway, the front bumper had fallen off. The all wheel drive light was intermittent, there was a vibration in the transmission when accelerating-(could not duplicate), and the service engine light soon had come on. Scc

Front bumper design is dangerous. GM indicated to me that the clearance of the truck's plastic bumper is eight inches. Bumper fell off backing out of 6-8" of snow on driveway surface. Dangerous driving on winter roads with low front bumper clearance. Other: Transmission vibration. Evident when vehicle puchased on 8/29/02. AWD light appeared on and off began Dec. 25, 2002. Dealer said AWD light problem was resolved on January 7, 2003.

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the front bumper. Also stated that while pulling out of her drive way the front bumper fell off the vehicle with out the vehicle impacting any thing. Manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle has been design and build according to manufacturers rules and that they don't think it's something they should be worrying about.
