GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM WITH SUVS!!!!!!! WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH WITH OUR GRANDKIDS AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES. RADIO AND ELECTRIC WINDOWS STILL WORKED AFTER STOPPING (LUCKILY SAFELY). SERVICE REPAIR REPORTED THAT IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS THE ENGINE SHORTED OUT TURNING OFF ENGINE AT 45 MPH. THIS IS THE 5TH IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS A LARGER IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM THAN THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING. LUCKILY WE JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH OR WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS CLASS OF VEHICLE (SUVS/TRUCKS) AS I BELIEVE GM HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS THE COBALTS!!!!!!! *TR

ONE EVENING I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND MY INSIDE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE SWITCH BUT IT WAS ON AUTO. I TURNED IT OFF BUT THE LIGHTS STAYED ON. THEY WERE STILL ON WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED TURNED OFF THE IGNITION THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR COULDN'T START BECAUSE IT HAD RAN MY BATTERY DOWN. ANOTHER INCIDENT WAS MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE. MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON LIKE I AM OUT OF GAS. THE LAST TIME I FILL MY CAR UP WITH GAS IT HESITATED. IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. THE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN MY CAR IS FULL OF GAS. I SMELL GAS. I SAT AT THE GAS STATION FOR AN OUR BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START. THE SOUND OF MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT. MY LIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN NOT DRIVING. ONE MORNING I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK, WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE SWITCH WAS OFF. I COULDN'T GET THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN I GOT TO WORK. THEY STAYED ON AT LEAST FOR 4 HRS. SOMETIME THE LIGHTS DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I PUT THEM ON. I REALLY HAVE SOME WEIRD THINGS GO ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I DID GET THE MODULE CHANGED AND THEY DID SOME RE-WIRING IN THE DOOR. ONE YEAR BEFORE THE MODULE, I GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CAR FOR A SHORT AND I WAS TOLD FROM THEM THAT MY WIRES WERE OVER HEATED. I PAID ABOUT $900 TO FIX IT. I STRONGLY THINK IT IS A DETECT SOME WHERES OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE MY WIRES TO OVER HEAT. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE STATED THAT I HAD 300 MILES TILL EMPTY. WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY. I STOPPED AND TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES BUT THE MILEAGE AND GAS HAND WENT BACK UP TO WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. THIS MORNING I FILLED THE TANK UP AND NOW THE COMPUTER IS READING LOW FUEL AND THE GAS HAND IS BELOW THE RED LINE. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT ABOUT 11PM, GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, MY HEADLIGHT JUST WENT OUT. I TURNED THE CONTROL SWITCH ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECK TO SEE IF MY OTHER LIGHTS WERE WORKING (BLINKERS, FLOOD LIGHTS, BRIGHTS) AND THEY WERE. MY HEADLIGHTS HOWEVER WEREN'T. I TRIED TURNING THE TRUCK ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. AFTER SITTING THERE WITH THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THEY CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME IN FEAR THAT I COULDN'T FINISH MY TRIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT, MY LIGHT GO OUT ON A DAILY BASIS AND AT RANDOM. THEY HAVE GONE OUT WHILE MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AS WELL AS WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AND AFTER THEM HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 9 HOURS, THEY TOLD ME THEY WORKED THE WHOLE TIME WHILE THEY HAD IT (GO FIGURE). I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK IN THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO SHOW TO THEM THAT MY SWITCH WAS REGISTERING MY HEADLIGHTS AS BEING ON WHEN THEY WEREN'T. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO AND THAT I JUST NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED. HARD TO DO WHEN NO ONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I AM LIMITED WHEN I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. *TR
