2003 GMC S UTILITY Complaints

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AND AFTER DRIVING A LITTLE WHILE IT RESET CAUSING ME TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND IS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T CRANK CAUSING ME TO ATTEMPT TWO OR THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THIRD I WOKE UP SUNDAY MORNING AND I HAD NO HEAT IN MY TRUCK THE HEATER IS BLOWING COOL AIR I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE BLEND BOX. AND WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK THIS MORNING THE FUEL METER STOPPED AT 3/4 OF A TANK WHEN I KNOW IT IS ON A FULL TANK. I HAVE NOT REPLACED ANY PARTS AT THIS TIME BECAUSE I AM AWARE IT WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX THE BLEND BOX. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 ENVOY DENALI WITH 53000 MILES, ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO, I WAS FILING UP WITH GAS, I ALWAYS FILL UP AT 1/2 TANK SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 06. AFTER FILLING THE GAS GAGE WENT TO EMPTY, AND THEN WOULD GO TO FULL, THEN BACK TO EMPTY. IT DID THIS FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND THEN WENT TO EMPTY. NOW THE GAGE DO NOT READ CORRECTLY AT ALL, I USE THE TRIP TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE AS THE REMAINING MILES FUEL GAGE DOES NOT REGISTER EITHER..... *TR

I PURCHASED A 1999 YUKON DENALI FROM MY FORMER BROTHER N LAW; HE DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT MY WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, RADIO,AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A BODY CONTROL MODULE; ONE GMC MECHANIC ASKED ME WHAT DOES THIS PART DO. I'M A LADY HOW WOULD I KNOW THESE THINGS. I STILL DON'T HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. WILL THIS CAUSE ME OTHER PROBLEMS OR CAN I CONTINUE TO DRIVE OFF A WING AND A PRAYER? *TR

OUT OF NOWHERE MY FRONT HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. ITS NOT THE FUSE OR THE BULBS, BOTH FRONT LOW LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK. THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE LIGHTS AND I HAVE TO BUY A NEW SWITCH. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ALMOST A YEAR AGO BECAUSE THE O RINGS WENT UP. THE GAS GAUGE IS BROKEN AND MY PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN. I FEEL SO STUCK WITH THIS CAR! *TR

MICHELIN CROSS TERRAIN TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED SIDEWALL CRACKS IN ALL 4 TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE 23,750 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON 2006 GMC ENVOY. THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED MICHELIN TIRE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE CRACKS. THEY IN TURN CALLED MICHELIN WHO SUPPOSEDLY AUTHORIZED A 55% CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW SET OF TIRES. IF MICHELIN ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT, THEN THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR

POWER AND POWER STEERING FAILURE- WHEN IT RAINS OR I DRIVE THROUGH PUDDLES OF WATER THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND SLOWS. ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT MY ACADIA AND THEY SAID THEY COULD READJUST THE BELT GUARD. THIS DID NOT WORK AND THEY SAID JUST BE CAUTIOUS WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T COAST AND THE SPEED INCREASES AS YOU GO DOWN HILL. *TR

OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING (NO PARTICULIAR SPEED) ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE SPEEDOMETER/RPM CLUSTER AND THEN BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAGE WILL REGISTER (0) ZERO. AFTER A SHORT TIME, 2 TO 5 MINUTES EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO NORMAL. *CN

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND I LOST MY STEERING. I HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CHEVY COBALT IS HAVING NOW. I CONTACTED GM FOR SOME ASSISTANCE, AND THEY DID NOTHING. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE CHEVY COBALT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. LUCKILY FOR ME, I DID NOT HAVE A ACCIDENT, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES LISTED BELOW. *TR

FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION. I FILLED THE TANK OF MY VEHICLE, 2005 GMC ENVOY XL, I RAN OUT OF GAS GOING UP AN INCLINED LEVEL OF A PARKING GARAGE TWO STORIES UNDERGROUND DURING RUSH HOUR IN D.C. I COULD HAVE EASILY LET MY SUV RUN INTO THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME BUT, I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY AND AVOID HARM'S WAY. THE PROBLEM WITH GAUGE IS IT WILL READ FULL WHEN EMPTY AT TIMES AND; SHORTLY THEREAFTER, YOU HAVE TOTAL FAILURE OF THE GAUGE - IT WILL NO LONGER PROPERLY READ OR REGISTER HOW MUCH GAS ONE HAS IN THEIR FUEL TANK. I THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT BE A LIMITED PROBLEM TO A FEW SUVS MANUFACTURED BY GMC BUT, AFTER DOING RESEARCH OF SEVERAL CAR FORUMS INTERNET SITES I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED A GM WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM - INCLUDING SOME VEHICLES OLDER THAN THE YEAR 2000. WHAT RECOURSE DO WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE , IF ANY? THE POSSIBILITY OIF DAMAGE OR A VEHICLE CRASH WAS AVOIDED, AS I REACTED QUICKLY TO AVOID NEAR-DISASTER WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE , OR EVEN, WORSE, HITTING A NATURAL GAS PIPE IN THE PARKING GARAGE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 TAHOE MY TAHOE ACCELERATES WITH OUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT YOU PRESSED IT THE RPM STAY HIGH EVEN WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR IF YOU PUT ON DRIVE THE RPM STAY HIGH. I WHEN TO A USED PART STORE AND EXCHANGE THE ACCELERATOR AND WORK FINE SINCE THEN WHEN THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR" BREAKS"S DOWN I NOTICE THAT STAYS AT HIGH RPMS. *TR
