HAD TO PAY $300 FOR NEW WINDSHIELD BECAUSE SAID THAT IS WHERE IT WAS LEAKING. 3 WEEKS LATER, WOULDN'T START, MECHANIC SAID TWO FUSES NEEDED REPLACED. 1 WEEK LATER, WOULDN'T START, PAID ANOTHER TOW, THEN STARTED. TOW TRUCK FOLLOWED ME TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CALLED, SAID IT WAS STARTING FINE. COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IF IT KEPT STARTING. TOLD ME TO COME GET IT. ON MY WAY TO DEALERSHIP, THEY CALLED BACK TO SAY, "BINGO", IT STARTED. NEXT DAY, DIAGNOSED IT IS THE ONSTAR MODULE. WTH! $700 MORE DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN. SERIOUSLY! IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GMC.................EVER! COSTING A FORTUNE TO KEEP IT GOING. I'M ON A FIXED INCOME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. STILL OWE FOR THE VEHICLE, TRADING MY LEMON IS NOT AN OPTION AT THIS POINT.

CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. ENGINE WAS RUNNING SMOOTH. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES ON HWY TO WORK GOT OFF ON CITY STREET AND CAR STARTED SHAKING BAD. PULLED OVER INTO PARKING SPOT AND ENGINE CUT OFF. WOULDN'T RESTART. CALLED TOWING TO OUR REPAIRSHOP. THE FIRST CYLINDER SPARK PLUG WAS BENT RESULTING IN MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO TIMING BELT STRETCH. NEED A NEW ENGINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS BIG PROBLEM WITH GMC ENGINES. BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 138K MILES. 7K TO REPLACE ENGINE INCLUDING LABOR. WOW MOTHER OF 3 KIDS AND I'M STILL PAYING BIG PAYMENT FOR THE CAR AND INSURANCE.. SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE I JUST FOUND OUT WITH GMC COVERING THE ISSUE UP AND NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS CAP AS IT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF. I HAD SOMEONE CHECK THE CODES AND IT CAME BACK WITH P0017 AND P0008. IN ADDITION NOW THE A/C BUTTON WON'T STAY ON. IT BLINKS THEN TURNS OFF. I'VE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND THAT GMC WILL NOT HONOR THEIR POOR MANUFACTURER WORKMANSHIP. IS ANYONE HELPING THE CONSUMER?

MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 73000 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE INDICATED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. THE CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS OF BOTH CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND GMC ACADIA. THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN FIXED AFTER 2009 BUT 2010'S AND LATER MODELS ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. GM WILL NOT HELP WITH REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. THAT WAS THE ONLY RUNNING VEHICLE WE HAD!
