GMC Complaints

REAR TAIL LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING A RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED. THROUGH RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MANY VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. GMC ALSO CHARGES AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT AT $1000 FROM THE DEALER.

THE AIRBAG SERVICE WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. PLEASE ASSIST ASAP, WE DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE.

AT 40MPH LOUD BANG FELT LIKE WE WERE REAR ENDED, SOUNDED LIKE WE WERE REAR ENDED, HUGE JOLT FORWARD NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENT, POSSIBLE BACK INJURY, SEATS JOLTED, LOOKED BEHIND US AND NOTHING THERE. WAS DRIVING AT 30-35MPH AND JUST ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY TO PASS A CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. CITY STREET 3 LANES. DEALER TURNED US AWAY BECAUSE COULD NOT DUPLICATE FOR THEM. GMC SAID CASE WAS ACCELERATED NO CALL BACK AS OF YET.

BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS BOTH GOING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT FLAT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. INITIALLY OCCURRED NOVEMBER 7, 2018 AND HAS PERIODICALLY RECURRED SINCE THEN. AS OF MARCH AND APRIL 2019 IT HAS BEGUN TO RECUR MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE I TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOOK NO CORRECTIVE ACTION. THEY DID RECOMMEND REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND MACHINING THE ROTORS, WHICH I HAD THEM DO. MILEAGE WAS 44,522 AT THAT TIME. IT IS BACK WITH THE DEALER TODAY AND THE FOCUS SEEMS TO BE THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. OF COURSE, THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY SO I'M WAITING TO SEE IF THEY WILL PERFORM THE REPAIRS AT GMC'S EXPENSE OR NOT. IF NOT, I WILL LIKELY BEGIN CONTACTING OTHER OWNERS TO CREATE A GROUP LARGE ENOUGH TO INITIATE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ASTRO BUICK GMC (2238 WHITE HALL BLVD, WHITE HALL, WV 26554, (304) 366-4460) FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. BUNNIN SIMI VALLEY BUICK (2100 FIRST ST, SIMI VALLEY, CA 93065, (805) 617-4836) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING THE 2015 GMC YUKON, TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES, BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND NO BRAKING AVAILABLE. HAD TO JUMP A MEDIAN IN THE ROAD TO GET CAR STOPPED. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE AWARE AND SAID DRIVE IT THERE, ALMOST WRECKED AGAIN PULLING INTO PARKING OT AT DEALERSHIP. YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS, VERY DANGEROUS. BEING TOLD ITS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT GMC KNOWS ABOUT BUT WILL ONLY FIX IF ITS 70,000 OR 6 YEARS. NOT OK, FIX THE PROBLEM MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES! VACUUM PUMP, VACUUM PUMP BELT, BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER AND VACUUM PIPE ALL NEED REPLACING!!!!!! MAKE A RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE HURT!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR BEGAN FLASHING. WEBSMART AUTO CREDIT (1225 W RIDGE RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14615, 585-349-3713) INDICATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

MY SIERRA DEVELOPED A NOISE ON DECELERATION. TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A WORN CAM. $5500 TO REPAIR, $7750 TO REPLACE ENGINE. I KNEW THAT A WORN CAM WOULD CAUSE LIFTER NOISE ALL THE TIME SO THAT WAS WRONG INFO. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THIS TRUCK HAS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT. WHAT HAPPENED WAS A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS TRUCK ALWAYS HAD HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. I DEACTIVATED THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE TRUCK RUNS ON ALL 8 CYLINDERS, IS COMPLETELY QUIET AND NO LONGER USES OIL. IT IS BETTER THAN NEW. I ALSO FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY AND PAID FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAM TO FALSELY INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE AND TO RIP OFF CUSTOMERS WHEN IT GOES BAD. IT CAN BE DEACTIVATED WITH A $175 CHIP.
