GMC Complaints

2000 GMC JIMMY HAS HAD 4 FUEL PUMPS IN LAST YEAR AND A HALF JUST STOPPING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND 2 TRANSMISSIONS SAME AS FUEL PUMPS STOPPING WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WIRING HARNESS VERY BRITTLE. *NM

I WAS ON 275W. WHEN MY RIGHT WINDOW WIPER ARM STARTED TO STOP THEN IT DIED, MY HUSBAND TOLD TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND OUT ON REPAIRING IT AND COST ON THE COMPUTER, I RAN ACROSS THIS LITTLE THING ON THE COMPUTER ABOUT 1997 BUICK CENTURY'S AND THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD {COMPONENT: VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER LINKAGES} WELL WHEN I READ ALL OF IT THAT DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPEN TO MY WIPER. WHEN I CALLED EVERYBODY SAID NO NOT YOUR CAR, AND I SAID I DON'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE SAME THING IS WRONG WITH MIND. *NM

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A 2005 PONTIAC GRAND AM IN DECEMBER 2005. SINCE THAT TIME, THE MAIN FUSE HAS BLOWN TWICE, LEAVING US STRANDED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 37 DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT AND IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION LOCK. IT HAS BEEN EXACTLY 48 DAYS SINCE WE GOT IT BACK AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. WE ARE NOW FIGHTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN (IT HAS TO BE TOWED AS IT WON'T TURN OVER AT ALL) AND REPAIRED. WE ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM EVERYONE WE TALK TO. *JB

PLEASE REFER TO RECALL#03V327000 OR GM RECALL NUMBER 03043. MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO IS AFFECTED WITH THE PROBLEM. BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY REFUSE TO PERFORM THE REQUIRED REPAIR. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMP INTERMITTENT NOT WORKING. THIS IMPLIES THE GM HAS NOT DONE A EXHAUSTIVE WORK OF IDENTIFYING ALL AFFECTED CARS. *JB

FIRST OF ALL MY ODOMETER GAUGE STOPPED OPERATING. IT REMAINED ON ZERO MILES WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2005. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD CLUSTER HAD TO BE REINSTALLED. SECONDLY; THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT BEGAN POPPING ON AND THE ENVOY WAS DRIVING ROUGH. I FOUND OUT FROM A GM DEALER THAT THE CLUTCH FAN FROZE WHICH CAUSED THE WATER PUMP TO BREAK AND THE RADIATOR TO OVER HEAT BURST THE RADIATOR HOSE AND SPEW OUT AND LEAK ALL OF THE WATER AND RADIATOR FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR. THE ENVOY IS NOW NOT DRIVABLE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS 2004 ENVOY SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2003. *NM

MY 2001 CAMARO WITH LESS THAN 37K MILES WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR NEW BRAKES. NO REASON I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN I WANTED NEW BRAKES THOUGH NOTHING SQUEAKED & I HAD NO TROUBLE. I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE TOLD I NEEDED NEW ROTORS AS THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE CURRENT ROTORS WERE TOO THIN AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM AS WELL AS THE PADS AND BRAKE LININGS. I WAS STUNNED AS THE CAR IS HARDLY DRIVEN BUT A MERE 8 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK & BACK THE LAST TWO YEARS. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE OTHER CALIFORNIA DEALERSHIP CAR WAS TAKEN TOO JUST 7 MONTHS PRIOR FOR BRAKE INSPECTION AT 33,713 WOULD HAVE ADVISED OF IMPENDING ISSUE? IN REVIEWING THE BRAKE INSPECTION PAPERWORK DATED 7/24/05 I CLEARLY NOTICED THE TECHS LACK OF ATTENTION TO EVEN FILLING IN THE PROPER BOXES IE: BRAKE LININGS. THE $1100 SPENT TO FIX PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISSUE. ITS THE SAFETY ISSUE! LOVE THE CAR & HAVE HAD 3 (95,97 & 2001) BUT AM LEARY TO DRIVE IT WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM WITH ROTOR/PADS AND GM IS IGNORING IT? FORD IGNORED THEIR PROBLEMS WITH TIRES FOR YEARS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED? *NM

I HAVE TAKEN MY SATURN ION3 IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES NOW FOR THE BODY CONTROL MODULE KEEPS BLOWING FUSES. THE FIRST TIME WAS THE WEEK AFTER CHRISTMAS 2005, THE SECOND WAS EXACTLY A MONTH LATER AND THE THIRD TIME WAS O WEEK AFTER THAT. ON THE FIRST VISIT THEY SAY THAT THEY REPLACED THE (BCM), ON THE SECOND VISIT THEY JUST REPLACED THE FUSE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY AND THE THIRD VISIT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO PICK UP MY CAR AFTER A WEEK. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON THURSDAY EVENING AND NOT 3 DAYS LATER AND THE FUSE IS BLOWN AGAIN. THEIR ONLY ANSWER WAS TO GIVE ME A COUPLE EXTRA FUSES IN THE PANEL AREA SO THAT I COULD CHANGE THEM MYSELF. *NM

SUBJECT POWER WINDOW MOTOR/REGULATOR FAILURE DUE TO COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. NO WARRANTY RECALL ASSISTANCE FROM GMC/CHEVY, BASIC WARRANTY COVERAGE, AFTERWARDS YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. EXPENSIVE RECURRING PROBLEM IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. YOU LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT IN COLD WEATHER THE WINDOWS MUST STAY UP. IF SOME ONE HAPPENS TO BE WITH YOU AND YOU DON'T LET THEM KNOW QUICK ENOUGH OR THEY FORGET THE CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT YOU WILL BE IN FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. YOUR WIFE TAKE THE TRUCK LIKE TODAY, YOUR 16 YEAR OLD DECIDES TO CRACK THE WINDOW A LITTLE AND BOOM I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER THIS SUNDAY. POWER WINDOW CABLE, MOTOR, REGULATOR BRACKET UNIT ONE PIECE REPLACEMENT IS A POOR LIGHT WEIGHT CABLE DESIGN. I HAVE A 2001 GMC SIERRA Z71 4X4 EXTENDED CAB, A FRIEND HAS THE SAME TRUCK PLUS RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW ONE MAXED OUT WITH EVERY THING, ANOTHER FRIEND HAS A 2005 K1500 HD WE ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE 2005 CAME INTO MY SHOP FOR LUBE SERVICE RECENTLY ONE COLD NEW YORK MORNING TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR UNIT FAIL AND RETURN TO THE DEALER TO WARRANTY THE ITEM AND WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MOVED OUT TO BE PICKED UP IN THE PARKING LOT, THE TECHNICIAN CLOSED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR JUST TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE 2001 WITH 39,000 MILES FROM A GM DEALER APPROXIMATELY. 3 YEARS AGO AND HAVE EXPERIENCED WINDOW PROBLEMS IN COLD WEATHER CONSTANTLY AS OTHERS I KNOW WITH THE SAME TYPE OF TRUCKS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED PROMPTLY. I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT BY ANOTHER BRAND TRUCK AND CHEVY/GMC TRUCK HAVE BEEN MY GRANDFATHERS CHOICE AS WELL AS MY OWN. *NM

WE HAD PURCHASE A 2002 HYUNDAI SANTE FE ON 07/05/05 MOTOR WAY AUTO GROUP. THE CAR STARTED TO RIDE ROUGH. SO WE TOOK IT TO OUR REPAIR GUY, AT THIS TIME WE THOUGH IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. BEFORE HE COULD CHECK ANYTHING I TOOK MY CAR HOME AND IT JUST STOPPED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AT THIS TIME HE CHANGE THE CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY-WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT. A LOT OF COSTLY REPAIRS. HE TOLD US THAT IT IS RARE THAT ALL THOSE SENSORS WENT BAD AT ONE TIME. SO I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT SYSTEM AND I GOT THIS REPORT. HOW DO I GO BY GETTING MY CAR FIX RIGHT.*JB

I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY APROX. 20 MILES. WHEN I CAME TO MY EXIT AND STOPPED AND TRIED TO GO MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPED CAUSING MY TO ROLL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND PAUSE BRIEFLY TILL IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR. WHEN I GOT TO A SPOT I COULD PULL OVER AND CHECK IT OUT I REALIZED NO REVERSE. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST ALSO. I CALLED GM TO REPORT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO GM DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED REPLACED OR REBUILT. I GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM R AND R TRANSMISSION. THEY EXPLAINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED AN UPDATE TO WORK PROPERLY AND THIS IS PROBABLY WHY THE FIRST ONE FAILED. THEY REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THIS NEAR MISS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. *JB
