ADDITIONALLY, THE HEADLAMP CONNECTOR WERE REPLACED FOR OVERHEATING AND MELTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (BOB HOWARD BUICK GMC ADDRESS: 13300 BROADWAY EXT, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73114) THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS FAILED HEADLAMPS THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED HOWEVER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. TP

POWER STTERING IS LOCKING UP. HAVE CHECKED THE FLUID ITS FULL. MAKES IT VERY HARD TO STEER WHEN YOU MAKE TURNS

STARTED TO DRIVE TRUCK, TURNED OUT OF DRIVEWAY IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, MAX SPEED IS 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP 2 MILES DOWN THE CITY STREET. COULDN'T TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO A T INTERSECTION POWER STEERING FLUID WAS AT MAX AND NO ENGINE LIGHT OR STATUS WAS LIT.

FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT THE POWER STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN NOT MOVING OR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. SECOND PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR WHICH WILL CAUSE ME TO PULL OVER TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN ALLOWING IT TO SHIFT.

WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN REGARDLESS IF I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER. SOMETIMES IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE THAT IT'S NEVER MADE BEFORE UNTIL NOW AND AS OF THIS PAST WEEKEND ANY TIME I TRY TO TURN ITS EXTREMELY HARD. I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES JUST TRYING TO GET MY CAR HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S FULL. *TR

THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON ALL OF SUDDEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT JUST STAYS ON. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I NEED AN INSPECTION STICKER. FOUND OUT TODAY AFTER I TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER THAT I NOW NEED TO REPLACE MY TIMING CHAIN. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR A YEAR AND A HALF. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT DOUBT ITS COVERED. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL, IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN JUST ME.

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AND HE SAID THE ENGINE WENT OUT OF TIMING CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE OUT OF TIME, COMBUST, AND DESTROY THE ENGINE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO CHECK THE CODES AND MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY TIMING CHAIN IN STRETCHED. THERE IS ONLY 114,XXX MILES ON IT. IT'S GOING TO COST A LOT TO GET IT FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING OR NOT THE CAR HAS A DISPLAY ON SCREEN ON ODOMETER OF PARK ASSIST OFF NO CODE COMES UP OTHER THEN THIS ON DISPLAY ON ODOMETER.
