Description of the problem	Starting at <5k miles the vehicle power train clunked when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. Now at 70k miles it clunks when shifting between all gears except final drive. The dealership replaced the output shaft on the tranny, then the u-joints, and modified the electrical shift patern. It still clunks. Power steering intermittently locks up at slow speed turns, especially when braking. Light bulbs burn out almost every three months. Had to pay ($486. 00) for replacing the intake manifold gasket when vehicle had little over 40k miles. Brakes fade and the pedal almost goes to the floor, again intermittent. I have almost caused several accidents due to the steering and brake issues. Gmc issued a letter stating "this is a normal occurance and will not cause damage." well, it's getting worse in sound and clunking harder during shifting.
