GMC Complaints

THE DASH HAS CRACKED ALL AWAY THE CROSS OF THE PAD AND NOW HAS CRACKED PRODUCING JAGGED PLASTIC SHARDS AROUND THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO PASS A SEMI WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT, AS IF I TURNED OFF THE KEY, NO POWER STEERING...NOTHING. I NOTICE THE "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT COME ON FOR A SECOND. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WOULD JUST FLASH YET THE ENGINE WAS NOT TURNING OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GMC DEALER AND PRELIMINARY REPORTS (INCOMPLETE) WAS IT WAS COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL RELATED. I ALSO NOTICED THE REAR LIFT GATE WOULD NOT OPEN (ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE TWO YEARS AGO AND GMC DEALER FOUND "FRETTING AT THE LGCM TERMINALS." POSSIBILITY RELATED, MY WIFE TOLD ME ONLY THE PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW WOULD ROLL DOWN A FEW DAYS BEFORE BUT ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME. SHE SAID SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED A FEW MINUTES LATER ALL WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN FINE...JUST ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS BEEN HAVING RADIO ISSUES FOR YEARS. 1/2 OF THE RADIO SCREEN RANDOMLY DISAPPEARS (LEFT). TAPPING IT SOMETIMES HELPS AND SOMETIMES IS FLICKERS WILDLY ON AND OFF. GMC DEALER TOLD US THE RADIO NEEDS REPLACING...LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

BRAKE LIGHTS FOR PASSENGER REAR LAMP ASSEMBLY IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN 25 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ENTIRE LAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $600+. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 49,000 MILES, AND IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE LAMP ASSEMBLIES. IT APPEARS THE CIRCUIT BOARDS FOR THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS ARE BREAKING.

IF THE BRAKES ARE PUMPED 2-3 TIMES THE PEDDLE WILL BECOME REALLY FIRM AND HARD TO PRESS. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP. YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. PRETTY UNNERVING FOR A 75K MIKE TRUCK STILL UNDER DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY BUT NOT COVERED. I USE THIS TRUCK FOR WORK AND HAULING MY KIDS. I DON'T LIKE HAVING MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE!

WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE CAME ON, THEN TRACKTION CONTROL DISPLAYED. THE CAR THEN STALLED, WHILE DOING 70 ON THE FREEWAY. ALMOST GOT KILLED TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT LANE. HAD TO TURN OFF IGNITION (AND OPEN THE DOOR TO KILL THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT) TO RESET THE CAR TO DRIVE IT. THE CAR ALSO DOES THIS AT IDLE. IT WILL RANDOMLY MIS-SHIFT AND FEEL LIKE A CHAIN WAS HOOKED TO MY BUMPER AND BROKE OFF. SUPER SCARY, LIFE IN DANGER FOR SURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 5 DAYS AGO.

HAVE A BAD TAIL LIGHT ON MY RIGHT SIDE AND TOOK IT TO ELHARTS TO SEE WHY IT WON'T LIGHT UP WITH NEW BULBS AND THEY SAID THAT THE WHOLE TAIL LIGHT HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAS BAD WIRING I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE DONE WHEN IT'S A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM THAT IT WAS BAD WHEN IT WAS PUT INTO MY TRUCK THE PART ALONE WILL COST 215 .00 PLUS I HAVE TO PAY TAXES PLUS LABOR COULD BE TOTALLY NOT HAPPY WOULD LIKE NOT TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE VERY BAD
