GMC Complaints

EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE. MECHANIC SAYS IN 25 YEARS HE HAS NEVER SEEN AS MANY FAILURES AS IN THESE MODELS,AS IT IS USUALLY VERY RARE FOR THEM TO FAIL. IN RESEARCHING ON LINE I HAVE FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN '03 THROUGH '08 MODEL GMC ENVOYS AND CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2011 BLACK SLT TERRAIN 4/11/11 AND HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE NOISE IT MAKES ALONG WITH THE AMOUNT OF GAS IT TAKES AND USES WHICH DOES NOT ADD UP TO WHAT THEY ARE STATING WHEN PROMOTING THIS VEHICLE. IT ALSO IS VERY FRAGILE. YOU CAN NOT LEAN, FALL, OR CLOSE THE DOORS TO HARD OR IT WILL CAVE IN OR DENT. I REALLY EXPECTED THIS VEHICLE TO BE EXCELLENT IN AND OUT ONLY TO NOW WANT TO TRADE IT IN FOR A BUICK LACROSSE OR LACERN. MY TERRAIN HAS 5,100 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVED I WAS PURCHASING A TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLE WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES AND ENDED UP PAYING FOR A LEMON WITH NO SEEDS INSIDE. *TT

WELL I HAVE A 2006 ENVOY, THE BATTERY HAND BOUNCES BETWEEN 0-14 VOLTS REPLACED THE BATTERY,HAD THE ALTER NATOR CHECKED AND ITS FINE. I TALKED TO THE GUY AT A GMC DEAL HE SAID ITS THE DASHBOARD SWITCHES.. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, HE SAID ITS A SENSOR OR THE DASH PANEL. WHO KNOWS. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THRU AL THIS HASSEL. I WANT MINE FIXED....... *TR

BAD 3 VEHICKLE AUTO ACCIDENT ON I-96 IN MICHIGAN. A WHITE CAR STOPPED OR STALLED IN CENTER LANE OF HIGHWAY AND WAS THEN HIT BY A GREEN CAR AND WE HIT THE GREEN CAR "HEAD ON" IN THE REAR.. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH A DIRECT HEAD ON HIT AT 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. MY TRUCK WAS A 1997 GMC JIMMY. *TT

I HAVE A 2003 YUKON DENALI AND WHEN IT HIT THE 65,000 MILES MARK THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING LEAVING ME TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAD LEFT USING THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTER TELLING YOU HOW MANY MILES TO EMPTY. NEXT THE OIL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. FINALLY REACHING 80,000 MILES MY SPEED ODOMETER QUITE WORKING LEAVING ME TO NOT KNOWING THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING THIS QUITE WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE MY RPMS ARE STARTING TO GO GOOFY WHICH MEANS THAT TO IS GOING TO STOP WORKING AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THAT HAVING MY DASH TAKEN OFF AND FIXED COULD RUN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1,000.00 NOT INCLUDING LABOR FEES. WHICH IS CRAZY THAT GMC DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ITS WORK. PEOPLE CANT AFFORD TO BE PAYING FOR THIS TO GET FIXED LET ALONE SPEEDING TICKETS. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ALL HAVING THE SAME YEAR YUKON DENALI.. YOU PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS!!! *TR

TAILGATE LATCHES ON 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV KEEP BREAKING REPEATEDLY. UNABLE TO OPEN REAR OF VEHICLE. PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY STOP WORKING OVER AND OVER. IF MY KIDS GET IN THE BACK AND GET STUCK THERE IS NO WAY OUT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, AS WELL AS A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS NO FUEL WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. STARTED WITH FILLING UP MY SUV AND AFTER I GOT GAS, THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH THE BELL CHIMING LOW FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. IT GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

MANUFACTURER : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. COMPONENT(S) : I REQUESTS THAT NHTSA OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE LISTED BELOW. FIRST ISSUE: PERFORMANCE/RELIABILITY OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSTALLED IN MODEL YEAR 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER VEHICLES. MY 2005 TRAILBLAZER FUEL TANK LEVEL SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A SUBJECT VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, STALL, AND BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO MAY 2, 2011 THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CHECK INTO IT RIGHT AWAY. I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HOME TONIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I TURNED THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON. STILL NO LIGHTS, TURNED THEM OFF AND ON AND LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM THEN THEY CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON HOME. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. MY 1995 LINCOLN TOWN CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS SOME KIND OF RECALL HAD TO DO WITH THE AUTO TIMER. IS THERE SOME KIND OF RECALL TO FIX THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AMONGST THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE ALREADY AGAINST THE 2005 CHEVY TRAIL BLAZER? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY XLT. THE CONTACT STATED THE JACK THAT HOLDS THE VEHICLE UP WHILE CHANGING A FLAT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE AND LOWER THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. THE MECHANICAL JACK HAD TO BE KICKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO RELEASE IT. THERE WAS ALSO A CRACK IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE RIM. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

THE GAS GAUGE IS READING EMPTY ALTHOUGH JUST FILLED WITH GAS. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING BUT NOW IT JUST REMAINS ON EMPTY DESPITE GAS TANK BEING FULL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED FREE OF CHANGE BECAUSE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WITH THE GAS GAUGE OF THIS CAR AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD OF NOT KNOWING WHEN YOU NEED TO REFILL, VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE LITTLE CHILDREN IN IT AND COSTLY REPAIRS. GMC MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. *TR
