GMC Complaints

SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING , INDICATOR NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN, EVEN WHEN CAR IS PARKED. *TR

SPEED SENSOR WENT BAD AT 45,000 MILES ON A 2005 IMPALA. REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND IT CAUSED THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL TO BE IN-OPERABLE AND NEED TO REPLACE THAT. WIPERS ALSO PARK IN UPRIGHT POSITION. NO DEFECT CODES FOUND. *TR

2004 BUICK REGAL STOPS WHILE DRIVING. KEY WAS STUCK IN IGNITION AND REPAIRED AT LOCAL DEALER IN MACON. VEHICLE NOW SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED AT 45 MPH OR MORE. *TR

JUST AFTER WARRANTY, SPEEDOMETER STICKS TO ZERO OR PEGS TO BOTTOM. I'VE ASKED MY DEALER ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED, THEY SAID IT WOULD COST SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. SINCE THEN, THE TACH HAS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AND I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. *TR

AFTER PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF WORK, I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SPRING THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE TRUCK DOOR JUST FELL OFF AND ON THE GROUND. NOW, AS THE TIME IS PASSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT DOESN'T WORK AND THE ELECTRICAL PANEL ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS GETTING WORSE. I CAN ONLY LOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THE ALARM GOES OFF EVERYTIME I OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TO KEEP SLAMMING IT TO MAKE THE DOOR COMPLETELY CLOSE. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO ANYONE YET BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE A BIG EXPENSE. *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

I BOUGHT A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU ON AUGUST 10, 2004. THE MILEAGE WAS 45,281. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD 2 PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. 1.GM DEX-COOL/INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. 2.ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER CAR HAS BEEN STOPPED, THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART AGAIN. WITH REGARD TO ITEM NUMBER 1 ABOVE, I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING. WITH REGARD TO ITEM NUMBER 2 ABOVE, THESE ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONCERNING MY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. FROM AUGUST TO OCTOBER 2006 I HAD TO TOW MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF MY CAR NOT STARTING. IT WAS TOWED 4 TIMES, THE FIRST 3 TIMES AND ALL THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE CHARGED. ON THE LAST TIME, OCTOBER 13, 2006 THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEIR ?EDUCATED GUESS? WAS THE NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER SWITCH AND IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FOR WHICH THEY CHARGED ME FOR A STARTER SWITCH - $96.15, AN IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER - $154.79, RECODE THE LOCK CYLINDER - $15.00, AND $46.00 TO CORRECT THE PASS LOCK SENSOR DATA, PLUS A $10.00 ENVIRONMENTAL DISPOSAL FEE. MY SON LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SAME MODEL CAR. IT APPEARS QUITE A FEW OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ANTI-THEFT PROBLEM FIX WAS TO ALLOW THE CAR TO SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, AND IT WORKED, SOMETIMES AFTER 2-3 ATTEMPTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALSO SAID TO TRY THE SAME FIX PROCEDURE, IT MIGHT WORK. IT APPEARS THAT GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THIS TWO PROBLEM, AND IS ONLY ADDRESSING THE GM DEX COOL INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD RECALL TO FIX BOTH PROBLEMS AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE EITHER OF THESE TWO ITEMS BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAUSES A LOSS OF LIFE OR LIMB. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 55,340. *TR

HAZARD LIGHTING SYSTEM, BLINKERS, CRUISE CONTROL ALL WORKED "GREAT" UP UNTIL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPLACEMENT PART. I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND THE PART REPLACED, EVER SINCE THEN THEY SHORTED OUT WHEN USING MY BLINKERS OR CRUISE. WHEN MY BLINKER WAS GOING AND JUST STOPPED..I HAVE TO PUSH THE HAZARD BUTTON IN AND OUT AND THEY START WORKING AGAIN. I SEVERAL TIMES TOOK CAR BACK AND DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET IT TO MALFUNCTION, UNTIL FINALLY THEY TOLD ME TIME HAD EXPIRED FOR FIXING, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HISTORY OF REPEATEDLY BRINGING IN VEHICLE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY PERFECT CAR UNTIL, I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. *TR
