2003 GMC S UTILITY Complaints

1. THE POWER LIFT GATE ON MY VEHICLE FAILED ON 7/23/15. WHEN IT OPENED, IT WENT ALL OF THE WAY UP AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN CAME CRASHING BACK DOWN AND NEARLY HIT ME IN THE HEAD. 2. THE FAILURE FROM THAT POINT ON HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME SO I HAD TO TURN THE FEATURE OFF. 3. I CONTACTED BOTH GM DIRECTLY AND SPOKE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE (HARE CHEVROLET IN NOBLESVILLE, IN) AND BOTH TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM BUT NO SOLUTION AND SUBSEQUENTLY NO PARTS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD FIX IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET (WITH THE SAME SUSPECTED FAULTY PARTS) BUT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE I WOULD BE REIMBURSED AS A RESULT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY POWER LIFT GATE IN FOUR MONTHS NOW. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST WITH NO UPDATES IN THREE MONTHS. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/31/15 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO UPDATE ON THIS RECALL.

WHEN YOU TAP ON THE BRAKES THE TRUCK PRACTICALLY SKIPS ACROSS THE PAVEMENT THOUGHT IT WAS MINOR TICKET TO MECHANIC NOTHING CAME UP FOR A CODE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING NOW THE TRUCK YOU CAN'T EVEN TOUCH THE BRAKES BUT THAT IS SKIPS ME ACROSS THE PAVEMENT AND NOW WHEN HE DRIVES IT ALSO HAS A BUMPINESS TO IT AND I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS MY WORK TRUCK AND MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION RIGHT NOW I READ ONLINE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE BRAKES

AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY ON OUR GM XUV AFTER MAJOR CRASH INTO DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND SIDE FRAME. CALLED LOCAL DEALER, REFERRED TO GM REGIONAL, SAID "THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE AIR BAGS". WROTE TO GM HOME OFFICE REFERRED BACK TO REGIONAL. REGIONAL SAID FILE WAS IN "LEGAL" GAVE UP TRYING.

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI AND AS I SEE FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE ME MY CLUSTER HAS WENT OUT. I HAVE NO USE OF MY DASHBOARD AT ALL. NO USE OF GAS GAUGE. NO USE OF SPEEDOMETER. NO USE OF OIL GAUGE. NO USE OF ANYTHING ON DASH. WHY AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS HAS GMC NOT DONE ANYTHING. IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON NOW WITH IGNITION SWITCH THEY WILL PAY SO MUCH MORE WITH LAWSUITS. I WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE, CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE RAN OFF THE ROAD FOR LACK OF GAS

THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FIRST STARTED FLUCTUATING THEN EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE DRIVERS DOOR PANEL HAS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. IT SMELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING BUT THERE WASN'T A FIRE. I'VE HAD BOTH SITUATIONS CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC STATES THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THE ENVOYS AND TRAILBLAZERS BUT IT IS STILL AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A GM AFTERMARKET AIR DEFLECTOR (PART NUMBER: 1927884) BEING USED ON A 2012 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN THE CENTER PLASTIC TIE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE DEFLECTOR TO CRASH INTO THE WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEFLECTOR WAS NOT REPLACED. THE SERIAL NUMBER AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

DURING THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH MY 2009 GMC ACADIA. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITH THE POWER STEERING FAILING WHEN I AM TRYING TO STEER OR TURN. IT IS AS IF THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING COMPLETELY AND I AM FORCED TO USE MANUAL STEERING WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR 2005 ENVOY XL DENALI. 70153 MILES. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY UNTIL ABOUT AN EIGHTH OF A TANK HAS BEEN USED THEN THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS JUST FINE. HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR APPX. TEN MINUTES TO GET THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO STOP ILLUMINATING. OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL THE VEHICLE. IT CAUSES AN INACCURATE FUEL READING. TURNING IN TO DEALER TOMORROW 06-19-2013 FOR REPAIRS. CODE PRODUCED P0463. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED A CLUNK WHEN I TURN THE TIRES AND THEN WHEN I TURN THE STEERING BACK AND FORTH, THEN I WAS TURNING FROM ONE STREET TO ANOTHER WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ALMOST HIT THE CAR SITTING WAITING AT THE STOP LINE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, I HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO COMPLETE THE TURN, 2 MECHANIC SHOPS SAID THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON MY AUTO BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE REPAIRS THEY DID FOR THE SAME ISSUES ONCE IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE RACK AND PINION AND IT WONT CORRECT AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THAT PART, AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT IF IT WON'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM AFTER I HAVE IT REPLACED THEN MY AUTO WON'T BE ANY GOOD, I NEED SOME ASSURANCE FROM GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
