GMC Complaints

THERE HAS BEEN A FAILURE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. FUEL REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. A FUEL PUMP WAS PURCHASED 300$ TO REPLACE OLD ONE. THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT HAS BEEN BOGGING ON AND OFF ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN SELL THIS VEHICLE OR GET WHAT I PAID FOR IT ATLEAST? I SHALL TAKE FURTHER LEGAL ACTION UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. *TR

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS WHEN I TURN ON MY TRUCK THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW HOURS STATING THAT IT NEEDS SERVICE. IT HAPPENS EVERY FEW WEEKS AND IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF I WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY. I HAD TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS OK, THAT I MUST OF PASSED A BUMP TOO FAST CAUSING IT TO TURN ON, BUT IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING. I GUARANTEE NO BUMP WOULD CAUSE A AIR BAG LIGHT TO TURN ON AND MALFUNCTION. AS IF THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH (MARCH) I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE GAS GAUGE. AT FIRST WHEN I WOULD FILL IT UP IT WOULD READ EMPTY AND WOULD REGISTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. NOW IT DOESN'T REGISTER AT ALL, IT JUST MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE, STATES EMPTY WHEN I FILL UP AND EVERYMORNING WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK ON AND SAYS I HAVE A QUARTER TANK THERE AFTER. WHAT SAD IS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAUSES DISTRACTIONS WHEN DRIVING. *TR

CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2004 USED FROM SATURN OF FAYETTEVILLE NC. IN FEBRUARY OF 2006 WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO FIND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAD A USED ENGINE PUT IN MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY LASTED ME JUST OVER A YEAR AND COST ME OVER 1,800.00. IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY VEHICLE TO FIND IT WOULD NOT START, THINKING THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD I REPLACED IT, IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THINKING IT MIGHT BE THE SPARK PLUGS THEY WERE REPLACED AS WELL. FRUSTRATED I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE PLACE THAT REPLACED THE FIRST ENGINE AND AGAIN TO MY SURPRISE GUESS WHAT BAD TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 4 YEARS STILL OWING ON THIS VEHICLE I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. I HAVE CALLED SATURN AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO STICKS AND INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES ITS SHOWS ME DRIVING 120 MPH WHEN GOING 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. HAVE LEFT IT COOL DOWN, THEN START THE ENGINE NUMEROUS TIMES FOR IT TO RESET IN 5 MPH INCREMENTS UNTIL IT RETURNS TO 0 MPH. SLUGGISH GOING TO 0 MPH WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN ETC. DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING OTHER THAN GOING WITH THE FLOW, IT IS CONSISTENTLY DOING THESE SYMPTOMS ALL THE TIME NOW. *TR

JUNE 2006 THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I WAS TOWED TO THE GARAGE WE NORMALLY USE FOR MAINTENANCE. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WE DID NOT PURSUE THIS UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE - BIG MISTAKE! IN JANUARY 2009 THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND AGAIN WE STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS TIME IT WAS THE FUEL GAUGE. THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AS THIS WAS JUST FOR ONE YEAR. WE WERE ADVISED TO USE THE TRIP MILEAGE TO FILL FUEL TANK. WE HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES BOTH AT APPROXIMATELY 30MTHS. *TR

EXISTING ODI ID NUMBER REFERENCES FOR 2007 ACADIAS 10255735, 10254149, 10248331, 10211267, 10210839, 10210533 EXISTING ODI ID NUMBER REFERENCES FOR 2008 ACADIAS 10246694, 10243591, 10241649, 10230134, 10229896, 10212682 THE ABOVE ODI ID NUMBERS SIGNIFY EXISTING COMPLAINTS IDENTIFYING WATER LEAKS AND RESULTING DAMAGE IN 07 & 08 GMC ACADIAS. GM INSTITUTED RECALL CAMPAIGN #08207: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - SUNROOF WATER LEAK-INSTALL DRAIN TUBE EXTENSIONS ' DATED: AUG 27, 2008. CAMPAIGN WAS PRECEDED BY NUMEROUS TSBS LINKED TO THE SAME TYPE OF WATER LEAK. AFTER FIRST LEAK IN OCT08, BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL AND EXPERIENCED 2 SUBSEQUENT LEAKS SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR AS A RESULT OF THE SAME CONDITION. HAVE HAD MOLD IN THE CARPET AND PADDING ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT CORROSION IN ONE OF THE 2 MAIN FUSE BLOCKS TO THE POINT WHERE SRVC. TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TURN VEHICLE OFF USING THE IGNITION KEY. VEHICLE LEAKS AFTER DRIVING IN RAIN. HAVE SERVICE INVOICES STATING THAT DEALER PERFORMED WATER TESTS AFTER EACH REPAIR AND FOUND NO LEAK YET VEHICLE HAS LEAKED AFTER EVERY REPAIR. HAVE DETAILED COLOR PHOTOS OF SOAKED WIRES, SATURATED HEADLINER, MOLD DAMAGE AND CORRODED FUSE BLOCK. VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN A TOTAL OF 689 MILES FROM DATE OF THE INITIAL LEAK TO DATE OF THE THIRD LEAK. DURING THIRD LEAK, WATER ALSO DRIPPED FROM VEHICLE'S REAR DISPLAY ONTO THIRD ROW SEATS. I FEEL THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THEIR AUG08 #08207 RECALL ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED VIN BREAKPOINTS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. INSTEAD, GM CHOSE TO DEAL WITH IT ON A CASE-TO-CASE BASIS AND IT HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE WATER DAMAGE CAN AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN FAR-REACHING AND POTENTIALLY COULD INJURE, KILL OR AFFECT THE HEALTH OF OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. CONSIDER OPENING DEFECT INVESTIGATION, ORDER GM TO DO SAFETY RECALL TO FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS DESERVES SOME PRESS. *TR

AUGUST 2008 - FAN CLUTCH FAILURE, $800 DEALERSHIP CHARGE TO FIX OCTOBER 2008 - BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE, NO HEAT OR AIR ON SPEEDS 1, 2 & 4, ONLY ON SETTINGS 3 & 5, NOT SURE IF IT IS BLOWER MOTOR OR SWITCH. *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

WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 GMC JIMMY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE CAME AROUND A CORNER AND HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, WHEN SHE HIT THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND SHE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. AFTER THE INCIDENT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND THE STEM THAT COMES OFF THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BROKEN OFF. HE CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND THE AGENT AGREED WITH HIM THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE OFF. MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED SEVERELY AND IF THIS PART DID NOT BREAK AND THE PARTS WORKED CORRECTLY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. *TR
