1995 GMC S SERIES Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT. THE CONTACT STATED THE JACK THAT HOLDS THE VEHICLE UP WHILE CHANGING A FLAT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE AND LOWER THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. THE MECHANICAL JACK HAD TO BE KICKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO RELEASE IT. THERE WAS ALSO A CRACK IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE RIM. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA 1500. I AM HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, SPEEDOMETER NOT READING PROPERLY, TEMP GAUGE WRONG READINGS. THE DEALERS WANT $750.00 TO REPAIR IF THE VEHICLE IS OVER 75,000 MILES. THEY HAVE SAID THEY SENT RECALL INFORMATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING OF THE SORT. FOR A VEHICLE I PAID 32, 000 FOR I FIND THIS TO BE UNSAT. GMC NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE FOR THERE CUSTOMERS, I WOULD EXPECT THIS TREATMENT FROM A FORD DEALER. *TR

MY 2010 GMC ACADIA SLT ROLLS BACKWARD ON INCLINES EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES FOR YEARS AND IN MY EXPERIENCE THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ROLL BACKWARD IN DRIVE. IF ANYONE IS BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS THEY COULD VERY WELL BE CRUSHED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR, BUT THIS IS NOT AND THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WILL NOT STOP GROANING ON ANY TURN. REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. WE ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. THE TOTAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH THESE WILL BE WELL OVER $5,000. IT IS EFFECTING THE TURNING PROCESS WHEN I NEED TO TURN THE CAR. ALSO HAVE A RACK AND PINION FAILURE. THE STEERING COLUMN COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND THE TOWING COMPANY HAD TO PUT OIL ALL OVER WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND SLIDE IT UP TO THE CABLE TO TOW THE CAR. ENTIRE STEERING MECHANISM REPLACED BUT NOW THE RACK AND PINION HAS TO BE REPLACED. I THINK IT IS DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN ISSUE. THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 CHEVY IMPALA IN MARCH 2005 AND HAD TO REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT AFTER ABOUT 12000 MILES IN 9 MONTHS. IN FEB,2010 I HAD TO REPLACED THE SECOND SHAFT THAT'S 3 SHAFTS IN 4 AN HALF YEARS WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT, WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM GRAND PRIX AUTO GROUP, HICKSVILLE, NY IN AUGUST 2008. SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR IT STALLED WHILE WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, MAY I MENTION IT NEVER STOPPED STALLING. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER BROKE AGAIN. IT CONSTANTLY SAYS I'M TRAVELING 120 MILES AN HOUR. ONCE AGAIN, BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GO TO A GMC DEALER, I DO, THEY REPLACE THE INFORMATION CLUSTER AND SPEEDOMETER, HAD TO PAY A $ 300.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS WAS IN MARCH 2009. DRIVING THE OTHER DAY OCTOBER 2009 AND THE SPEEDOMETER ONCE AGAIN SAYS 120. GET PULLED OVER, GET A TICKET FOR A BROKEN SPEEDOMETER. THE OFFICER WAS AWARE I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THAT SPEED, AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN, WANTED TO HEAR NONE OF IT. SO NOW HERE I AM AGAIN, BROKEN SPEEDOMETER, ENGINE THAT STALLS OFTEN AND A SUMMONS TO BOOT. I NEED HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN THE DEALERSHIPS ARE OF NO HELP. JACQUELINE KING *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 GMC JIMMY ENVOY. I SMELLED BURNING PLASTIC AS I WAS DRIVING AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND THEN THEY WOULD NOT WORK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SWITCH. THIS CORRECTED THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. AFTER READING ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL OF THESE SWITCHES, I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD SWITCH ONLY TO FIND THAT IT ALSO HAD BRASS CONTACTS FOR THE HAZARD WARNING LAMPS. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED IN 2003 BY A DEALER. REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED! *TR

I OWN 2 ENVOY'S 1 IS A 03 AND THE OTHER ONE IS A 05 MY 03 OIL PRESSURE AND TACH. GAUGE MESSES UP FROM TIME TO TIME... MY 05 OIL PRESSURE AND SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. I CALLED GMC AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT YOU... MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON MY 03, I'M GUESSING THAT MEANS IT WON'T WORK IF NEEDED..... *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY I6 THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH 2005. NOVEMBER OF 2006 WE REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WHEN I WOULD FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE WOULD GO TO EMPTY AND WOULD EVENTUALLY MAKE IT TO FULL AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES DRIVEN. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WOULD COST AROUND $1100 TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY OF BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN. *TR
