WHEN I TOOK IT IN AGAIN TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. MECHANIC SAID THESE KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS HORRIBLE. ANOTHER REPAIR OUT OF STATE WILL COST ME $550, GMC NEEDS TO RECALL THESE [XXX] TRUCKS!!! *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM SUVS FROM 2005 -2007. THE NHTSA HAS GOTTEN 668 COMPLAINTS. GM AGREES TO PAY 1/2 THE FEE TO FIX IT. MY HALF WAS $194. THE DEALER STATED THEY WILL NOT PAID 100% BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOLD THEM -"TRY RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE ENTRY RAMP TO THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE AND SEE HOW SAFE IT IS". GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM . *TR

THE LOW FUEL LEVEL LIGHT HAS COME ON, AND THE TANK WAS FILLED WITHIN 25 MILES. RESEARCHING, I FIND THIS IS A CURRENT ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY ALMOST ALL THE TIME, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW CORRECTLY AT ALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN TANK IS FILLED, THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT IS ON. WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL BEGINS TO DECREASE BELOW THE FULL LEVEL FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN THE COMPLETELY FULL MARK AND THE EMPTY MARK. THIS FLUCTUATION CAN OCCUR DURING A TRIP THAT IS LESS THAN A FEW MILES. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE KEY ON THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT START AND HAS TWICE FROM WHEN I GOT IT IN FEB 2012 ALL THE INTERNAL ELECTRONICS HAVE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, STARTED TO ROUGH IDLE AND ALMOST CAUSED A VEHICLE ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER AND BRAKING & STEERING ABILITY, RESTATED VEHICLE AND GOT BURNING GAS SMELL FROM VEHICLE EXHAUST PIPE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH CODE P0014, GOT VEHICLE SERVICED AND HAD NEW SENSOR INSTALLED BUT NOW GETTING PINGING SOUND FROM ENGINE UNDER LOAD AND WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED AND MINOR VIBRATION WHILE AT IDLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHERE ALMOST FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING VEHICLE DUE TO RUNNING RISK OF ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE AT SPEED AND UNABLE TO STEER OR BRAKE WHEN ENGINE STALLS DUE TO THIS CONDITION WITH CODE P0014 IN CARS COMPUTER. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO INSPECT THESE SYSTEMS AND PROVIDE FREE REPAIRS OF ANY FAULTY SENSORS AND PROVIDE A FULL SERVICE CHECK ON THIS VEHICLES. I FELT REAL UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO WORRYING ABOUT CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE OR HAVING A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS HIGH END FAILURE OF THIS COMPONET
