IN AUGUST LAST YEAR I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. AT 2000 MILES THE CAR IS 1ST TOTALLY DRAINING THE BATTERY ( I WAS IN CAMPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST- THEY FOUND ME AFTER 3 HRS- SHERIFF DEPT). SINCE THEN EVERY MONTH SAME AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED 3 BATTERIES. TODAY 2/21/2007 IS THE 7TH TIME. I PAY $825/MTH + RENT A CAR EVERY MONTH -- THEY DO NOT PAY FOR RENT A CAR BECAUSE THEY START BLAME EACH OTHER. GMC IS BLAMING THE DEALER AND THE DEALER GMC. I'M IN THE MIDDLE AND I DON'T HAVE A CAR. I NEED YOUR HELP THANK YOU. *NM

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SUBURBAN HOME WITH MY FAMILY. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED I WAS DRIVING AT 90 MILES AN HOUR. WHAT A SURPRISE. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING WRONG. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME I WAS GOING 120 MILES AN HOUR PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THIS JUST HAPPENED AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT FIXED. I READ MANY BLOGS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL. I WORK FOR GM AND I AM VERY EMBARRASSED BY THIS QUALITY ISSUE. SO MUCH FOR THE QUALITY OF GM VEHICLES WHEN I SEE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *NM
