GMC Complaints

MICHELIN CROSS TERRAIN TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED SIDEWALL CRACKS IN ALL 4 TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE 23,750 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON 2006 GMC ENVOY. THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED MICHELIN TIRE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE CRACKS. THEY IN TURN CALLED MICHELIN WHO SUPPOSEDLY AUTHORIZED A 55% CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW SET OF TIRES. IF MICHELIN ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THE DEFECT, THEN THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR

POWER AND POWER STEERING FAILURE- WHEN IT RAINS OR I DRIVE THROUGH PUDDLES OF WATER THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND SLOWS. ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT MY ACADIA AND THEY SAID THEY COULD READJUST THE BELT GUARD. THIS DID NOT WORK AND THEY SAID JUST BE CAUTIOUS WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T COAST AND THE SPEED INCREASES AS YOU GO DOWN HILL. *TR

OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING (NO PARTICULIAR SPEED) ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE SPEEDOMETER/RPM CLUSTER AND THEN BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAGE WILL REGISTER (0) ZERO. AFTER A SHORT TIME, 2 TO 5 MINUTES EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO NORMAL. *CN

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY MALIBU WHEN STARTING VEHICLE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ENGAGES AND THE CONSOLE INDICATOR CHIMES READING POWER STEERING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR NOW. I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN 2 TIMES SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2008. BOTH STEERING COLUMNS WERE GENUINE GM PARTS INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. WORK PERFORMED IN 5/08 AND 10/08 TOTALING SOME $3000.00. PAID ANOTHER DEALER $51.56 TO ADJUST AND CALIBRATE SENSOR. IT WAS OK FOR THE SUMMER. LATE FALL 2009 BEGAN COMING ON INTERMEDIATELY AGAIN. NOW IT COMES ON EACH TIME YOU START THE CAR AND YESTERDAY I ACTUALLY LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD LOST THE POWER ASSIST STEERING A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES NOW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT HERE. *TR

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS USED 2001 SATURN IN 2001. I HAVE PUT 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, STEERING RACK, STABILIZER BAR, FRONT STRUTS, HAD A HEAD GASKET MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED TWO OTHER NEW SATURN'S WITH NO PROBLEMS...I AM ROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. ALSO MY DASH LIGHTS DIMMED WHEN SECURITY LIGHT FLASHED ON AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED ALSO MY TEMP GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE WOULD GO FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND THEN BACK QUICKLY. I HAD TO HAVE A MODULAR REPLACED. AGAIN, I AM SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THIS I HAD TWO INLINE FUEL FILTERS AS THE CAR JUST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING...SPEED WENT DOWN AND DOWN AND NOTHING. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS *TR

WE HAVE TAKEN OUR DAUGHTERS COBALT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT. IT IS PLACING OUR DAUGHTER IS SERIOUS DANGER. WE HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $1000.00 ON THIS ISSUE. IT WENT OUT IN DECEMBER AND WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT WENT OUT AGAIN TODAY. *TR

2007 SATURN ION HAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM WHICH CAUSE THE STEERING TO LOCK AND HARD TO STEER IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED BY PUTTING IN POWER STEERING FLUID, IT DOESN'T WORK THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH. THIS OCCURS AFTER ONLY 33,000 MILES, AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO PUT A NEW MOTOR MODULE AND SWITCH WITH A REPAIR COST OF $997.00. AFTER SURFING THE INTERNET, WE ARE ONE OF MANY WHO ARE EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM. I ASK IF A DEATH HAS TO OCCUR IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BECOME A RECALL VEHICLE. INCIDENTALLY, MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS UNDER THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPEN TO OUR CAR. PLEASE DO NOT LET A DEATH HAPPEN TO HAVE A RECALL. I WILL CONTINUE WRITING MY CONGRESSMAN, SENATOR AND WHO EVER WILL LISTEN. DURING MY FIRST COMPLAINT TO THE GM COMPANY, I HAD SPOKEN TO SOMEONE IN CANADA A SALES SPECIALIST WHO INFORM ME THAT ITS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT AND HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVEN AWARE OF THE VEHICLE MAKE OR MODEL. IF ANYONE GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, WE WILL TAKE EVERY LEGAL MATTER NECESSARY. ALSO, AFTER HAVING THE REPAIRS TAKEN CARE OF WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WEEK. ANOTHER NE POWER STEERING MODULE AND MOTOR HAD TO BE PUT BACK ON AGAIN. LOOK AT YOUR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 CHEVY IMPALA IN MARCH 2005 AND HAD TO REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT AFTER ABOUT 12000 MILES IN 9 MONTHS. IN FEB,2010 I HAD TO REPLACED THE SECOND SHAFT THAT'S 3 SHAFTS IN 4 AN HALF YEARS WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND I LOST MY STEERING. I HAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CHEVY COBALT IS HAVING NOW. I CONTACTED GM FOR SOME ASSISTANCE, AND THEY DID NOTHING. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE CHEVY COBALT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. LUCKILY FOR ME, I DID NOT HAVE A ACCIDENT, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES LISTED BELOW. *TR

FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION. I FILLED THE TANK OF MY VEHICLE, 2005 GMC ENVOY XL, I RAN OUT OF GAS GOING UP AN INCLINED LEVEL OF A PARKING GARAGE TWO STORIES UNDERGROUND DURING RUSH HOUR IN D.C. I COULD HAVE EASILY LET MY SUV RUN INTO THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME BUT, I WAS FORTUNATE TO REACT QUICKLY AND AVOID HARM'S WAY. THE PROBLEM WITH GAUGE IS IT WILL READ FULL WHEN EMPTY AT TIMES AND; SHORTLY THEREAFTER, YOU HAVE TOTAL FAILURE OF THE GAUGE - IT WILL NO LONGER PROPERLY READ OR REGISTER HOW MUCH GAS ONE HAS IN THEIR FUEL TANK. I THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT BE A LIMITED PROBLEM TO A FEW SUVS MANUFACTURED BY GMC BUT, AFTER DOING RESEARCH OF SEVERAL CAR FORUMS INTERNET SITES I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED A GM WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM - INCLUDING SOME VEHICLES OLDER THAN THE YEAR 2000. WHAT RECOURSE DO WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE , IF ANY? THE POSSIBILITY OIF DAMAGE OR A VEHICLE CRASH WAS AVOIDED, AS I REACTED QUICKLY TO AVOID NEAR-DISASTER WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE , OR EVEN, WORSE, HITTING A NATURAL GAS PIPE IN THE PARKING GARAGE. *TR
