2003 GMC S UTILITY Complaints

MY 2000 YUKON'S FUEL PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING OUR FAMILY ON HWY 94 EAST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE STATION WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE APPROX. 20 FAILED FUEL PUMP MODULES AND ASSURED ME THAT THEY WILL INSTALL THE UPGRADED PUMP THAT DOES NOT "BURN" WHEN THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITH LOW FUEL LEVEL!!! I GOOGLED THE FAILURE AND CAME TO YOUR RECALL 05V155000 AND THE GM 05027 BUT GMC DOES NOT HONOR IT FOR MY VIN NUMBER??? WHAT IS SURPRISING IS THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE NEW PUMP FROM THE DEALER THEY HAD THE "UPGRADED" ACDELCO ONE ON THE SELF BUT OTHER THAN THAT I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM ACCORDING TO OUR VIN NUMBER!!! SO I THOUGHT THAT IF EVERY GMC OWNER REPORTS HERE MAYBE THEY WILL GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER THERE IN GM AND INSTALL SOMETHING OF A BETTER QUALITY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THEIR $40K VEHICLES!!! A VERY UPSET BUT LOYAL GM OWNER. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULD BE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 100 MPH OR MORE. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GET STUCK ON A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN AFTER PARKING. I LOOKED INTO GETTING IT FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 500 OR 1000 DOLLARS AND THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I HAVE NOW SEEN THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A SHAME THAT A VEHICLE COMPANY AS GMC HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO HELP US FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A DANGER TO HAVE A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH HEADLIGHTS ON NEWER CARS AND TRUCKS. WHY DO WE NEED THEM SO BRIGHT. WHY DO WE NEED HIGH BEAMS. THEY JUST BLIND ALL DRIVERS. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LT. AT 56,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. THEN ON MARCH 12 2007 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN AUTO 4X4 AFTER SPENDING VERY CLOSE TO A $1,000. WE ARE NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. FRONT WHEELS STUCK IN AWD WHILE THE REAR WHEELS ARE STUCK IN 2WD. *TR

2004 GMC ENVOY XUV FAULTY SPEEDOMETER, THE SPEEDOMETER READS FALSE READING, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS 55 AND I WAS PULLED OVER FOR DOING 72 MILES IN A 55 ZONE. *TR

PARKING BRAKE AND FUEL GAGE. I RECENTLY MOVED OVERSEAS WITH AF AND HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR EUROPEAN STANDARDS. MY PARKING BREAK DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I FOUND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE I HAVE NEVER USED IT. I WAS MANDATED BY EUROPEAN LAW TO GET FIXED IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT AND PAY A $30 FOR EACH MONTH UNTIL I GOT IT FIXED. MY FUEL GAGE DOESN'T MAINTAIN HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN MY GAS TANK. WHEN I HAVE A FULL OR EMPTY TANK THE GAUGE JUST RANDOMLY BOUCESS AROUND WITH THE UNKNOWN CORRECT AMOUNT. I AM CURRENTLY SETTING THE MILEAGE UNTIL I CAN FIND SOMEONE TO FIX IT AND THE PARTS I NEED. *TR

SIR OR MA'AM, I BOUGHT A 1997 GMC SIERRA C/K SERIES 1500 PICKUP IN 1999. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BECAME INOPERATIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND SEEMS TO FIX ITSELF AFTER THEY DRY OUT. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT GMC RECALL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ITS VEHICLES FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACT GMC AND THEY SAY THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN I KNOW IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAS NO VISIBILITY, WHILE RAINING, WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HERE IS THE INFORMATION FOR MY VEHICLE: 1997 GMC SIERRA C/K1500 PICKUP I THINK GMC SHOULD REPAIR THIS BEFRE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE. THANKS ROBERT JONES. *TR

AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE IT DEVELOPS A VERY SEVER SHAKING. IT IS TO THE POINT IT KNOCKS STUFF OFF THE DASH AND OUT OF THE CUP HOLDERS. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES CHANGED, ROTATED, BALANCED. THIS DOES NOTHING TO HELP. *TR

EVENTS THAT HAVE LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE I BELIEVE IS POOR ENGINEERING OF THE PRODUCT. I HAVE A 2004 ENVOY XL THAT HAS THE DRIVERS' SIDE POWER SEAR AND LUMBAR COMPRESSOR SWITCH SET ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT. THE SWITCHES ARE SURROUNDED BY A THAN LARGE PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC. THE WAY IT IS ARRANGED ON THE SEAT NO MATTER HOW A PERSON GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE; PRESSURE IS PUSHED DOWN ONTO THE PLASTIC SEAT SWITCH COVER. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PRODUCT TWICE NOW WITHIN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE FIRST TIME IT COST ME FROM 65 TO 85 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A .50 CENT PIECE OF PLASTIC. I WAS TOLD IT HAD A TWELVE MONTH WARRANTY. WITHIN 3 TO 6 MONTHS THE SAME THING HAPPENED; MY WIFE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SEAT CONTROL SWITCH PLATE FELL TO THE GROUND. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE SERVICE MANAGER ASKED THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE SWITCH CONTROL COVER FALLING OFF AGAIN; THE PERSON STATED, " I BET YOU ARE DRIVING AN ENVOY AREN'T YOU?" HE THEN SAID THOSE WERE A BAD DESIGN FOR THAT MODEL AND POP OFF ALL THE TIME. WELL AFTER REPLACING THE PRODUCT UNDER THE WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE FIRST ONE I REPLACED (BOUGHT), I ASKED DOES THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY START OVER FOR THE NEW PRODUCT? HE SAID NO, AND IF IT COMES OFF AGAIN, AND IT WILL; YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY THE NEXT COVER PLATE AGAIN. THAT IS WRONG!!! IF IT IS GENERALLY KNOW THROUGHOUT THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENTS A PROBLEM EXISTS WHY DOES THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY??? OH BY THE WAY, THE PLASTIC SEAT CONTROL COVER DID POP OFF AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, SO I HAVE ENGINEERED IT WITH ZIP TIES THAT ARE BRIGHT ENOUGH WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCT GM ACTUALLY BUILDS. *JB

I CANNOT SEE THE RECENTLY-POPULAR CLEAR TURN-SIGNAL LENS' WITH COLORED BULBS NEARLY AS WELL AS COLORED LENS. THIS HAS OFTEN CAUSED ME NEAR MISSES AS BOTH A DRIVER AND A PEDESTRIAN. MANY FANCY AFTER-MARKET LENS' ARE THE WORST, ESPECIALLY WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THEM DIRECTLY. I BELIEVE MORE STUDY SHOULD BE DONE ON THE SAFETY OF THESE. *JB
