2009 GMC SAVANA Complaints

THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THE FUEL LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE FUEL SMELL CONTINUES. IT HAPPENS ON START, WHEN STOPPING AFTER DRIVING, WHEN IDLING. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE ALMOST UNDRIVABLE AND I AM GETTING SICK FROM IT BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE WITHOUT SELLING THIS ONE AND I CAN'T SELL THIS ONE TO SOMEONE UNLESS THE GAS SMELL IS FIXED. I WANT IT FIXED OR MY MONEY BACK. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A DEALER REPAIR SINCE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND SINCE IT'S BEEN DOING IT SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY.

FLEET VEHICLE I FOR SERVICE THOUGHT TIRE WAS BAD, UNDER CLOSER INSPECTION, WELD FAILED CAUSING RIM TO SPLIT FROM INNER MOUNTING HUB CAUSING 3/-1/2 INCH CRACK AT TIRE BEAD. I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 22 YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A FAILURE LIKE THIS, I WILL KEEP THE RIM IN CASE YOU WANT IT FOR STUDY.

KEY COMES OUT OF IGNITION WHILE RUNNING AND IS HARD TO TURN ON AFTER TURNING IT OFF. HAVE TO WIGGLE THE KEY. *TR

I OWN A SAVANA 2500 CONVERSION 155 WHEELBASE. I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. DURING BRAKING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES IN MY HANDS. THE CAR HAS RUN ABOUT 14.0000 MILES. IF I DRIVE FAST I ALWAYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, EVEN MORE IN THE HILLS. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT. I CHECKED THE DISCS AND BRAKING PADS, THEY LOOK WELL. IT SEEMS TO ME IF THE DISCS BECOME HOT I HAVE THE PROBLEM. I AM LIVING IN THE NETHERLANDS, NEAR GERMANY.

WHEN TOWING A TRAILER WITH MY 1 TON GM VAN DOWN HILL AND BRAKING THE FRONT END SHAKES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT IT AS THEY HAVE IT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THEY CLAIM THE BRAKES GET HOT AND TO DOWN SHIFT THE VAN. THEY ALSO SAY FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES AND A CRASH. GM TECH SAYS ON MY REPAIR ORDER THAT WHEN BRAKES GET HOT THEY WILL PULSATE THEN WHEN THEY COOL THEY GO BACK TO NORMAL. PER TAC NO REPAIRS AT THIS TIME CASE [XXX]...[XXX]. ALL 1/2 TON, 3/4 TON, AND 1 TON VANS ARE IN THIS CATEGORY AS NO SPECIFIC MODEL OF SAVANA/EXPRESS WAS MENTIONED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW THEY KNEW ABOUT IN THE BEGINNING AND CHOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR
