GMC Complaints

MY CAR OIL CONSUMPTION IS EXCESSIVE. I HAVE REPETITIVE CODES: P0089, P0300, P0366, P228D, P0014 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. CAR IS JERKING BACK AND FORTH WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT. TAPPING NOISE MADE ALSO. EVERY 1000-1500 MY CAR IS ALWAYS NEEDING OIL (AT LEAST 2 QUARTS) AND I ALSO HAVE TO PUT MORE THAN THE USUAL AMOUNT OF GAS IN IT THEN WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED.

WHILE DRIVING MY YUKON, I WAS PREPARING TO STOP A LIGHT ONLY TO STRUGGLE WITH PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME

EXPLODED SUNROOF - THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHEN I WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I HEARD THE GLASS FALLING IN TO THE SUN SHADE WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR. TOOK ME SEVERAL DAYS TO RECOGNIZE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SOUND WAS. NO ROCKS, NO SIGN OF ANYTHING FALLING ON THE ROOF TO DAMAGE. THE GLASS APPEARED TO BE PUSHED OUT AS CAN BE SEEN ON THE PHOTOS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE ON THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A REST AREA TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCGOVERN BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 2806, 150 TURNPIKE RD, WESTBOROUGH, MA 01581, (508) 439-4362) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM BRAKE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SHAHEEN CHEVROLET (632 AMERICAN RD, LANSING, MI 48911, (517) 325-9224) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

FRONT END UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND STRUTS ARE BROKEN CAUSING A GRINDING POPPING SOUND. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROADING, ALL HIGHWAY MILES. NHTSA SHOWS A RECALL ARTICLE ON THIS PARTICULAR MECHANICAL ISSUE (SEE ATTACHMENT) AS A RECALL FOR 2016 MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT REACHED THE THREE YEAR WARRANTY, BUT IS OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. SINCE IT HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUE, I AM REQUESTING A RECALL THAT GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO HANDLE ALL COST BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF 36,000 MILE WARRANTY.

THE AC CONDENSER STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN REPLACED. FIRST UNDER WARRANTY, SECOND IS NOT. IT IS FUNNY HOW EVERY PERSON AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOWS THE CONDENSER IS A FAULTY PRODUCT, BIT GMC WON'T RECALL. EVEN NON GMC REPAIR SHOPS KNOW THIS.

BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT LOW SPEEDS. GMC TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN BOUGHT BACK BY GM AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX IT 8 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THEY STATE THERE IS A SPECIAL WARRANTY ADDED EXCEPT MY MILEAGE IS OVER THE WARRANTY! BRAKES EITHER ARE HARD AS A BRICK TO PUSH OR/AND DON'T WORK AT ALL. I WAS TOLD TO REV THE ENGINE WHEN GOING SLOW OR BACKING UP IN ORDER TO MAKE THE BRAKES FUNCTION PROPERLY. THAT WAS THE ADVICE FOR A MOTHER OF 4 CHILDREN. AC IS ALSO BLOWING HOT AIR.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY TRUCK TWICE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF, LIKE IT WAS A MANUAL BRAKE AND NOT POWER. HAD TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO GET MY TRUCK TO STOP. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL RETURNED TO NORMAL.

BRAKE FAILURE. THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED. I MARKED THE FAILURE AS TODAY AS THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A MONTH OR SO AGO. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF TIME.
