GMC Complaints

TWO WEEKS AGO, A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SUDDENLY APPEARED. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE AFFECTED THE FOLLOWING MODELS: GMC YUKON, CADILLAC ESCALADE, GMC SIERRA, CHEVROLET SILVERADO, CHEVROLET TAHOE, CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, AND CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE FACT THAT THIS CRACK IS VERY CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *JS

FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP LEADING TO REDUCED BRAKING FORCE UNDER REPEATED USE OR IN A PANNIC SITUATION LEADING TO A COLLISION. I HIT A DEER BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE STOP OR SUFFICIENTLY SLOW DOWN TO AVOID HITTING IT. I NOTICED REDUCED BRAKING FORCE AND A HARD BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL REPORTS ON THE INTERNET INVOLVING THIS ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MCDONALD GMC CADILLAC (5155 STATE ST, SAGINAW, MI 48603, (989) 319-4136), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR ON FEB. 28, 2018. FOUND OUT ON JANUARY 23, 2019 THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS NOW THE 2ND GMC ACADIA WE BOUGHT IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS THAT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. WE HAVE NOW SPENT OVER $20K FOR TWO CARS WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A WORKING CAR. THE LAST CAR I BOUGHT WAS A 2010 GMC AND I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. LATER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINED DIED - THERE WAS NEVER EVER WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING THAT THERE WAS TROUBLE WITH THE CAR. BOTH CARS HAVE THE 3.6L SIDI VG ENGINE. OUR AUTO PLACE SAID THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THAT ENGINE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE NEED THAT ENGINE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CAN NOT BE A COINCIDENCE. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DON'T CARE.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. LATER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINED DIED - THERE WAS NEVER EVER WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING THAT THERE WAS TROUBLE WITH THE CAR. IT IS A 3.6L SIDI VG ENGINE. IT WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE AS WE HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE CAR FOR A YEAR BEFORE IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE COST WAS WAY TOO HIGH TOO FIX SO WE ENDED UP GIVING IT TO A SALVAGE PLACE AND BOUGHT A 2009 GMC ACADIA. NOT EVEN A YEAR INTO THAT CAR AND IT ALSO NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. SAME ENGINE, A 3.6L SIDI V6 ENGINE. OUR AUTO PLACE SAID THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THAT ENGINE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE NEED THAT ENGINE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CAN NOT BE A COINCIDENCE. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DON'T CARE.

MY DASH HAS BEEN SLOWLY CRACKING, THE CRACK IS NOW IN TWO PLACES, BY THE AIR BAG AND STEERING WHEEL AND HAS COMPLETELY RELEASED SO IT VIBRATES THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING. JUST THIS WEEK THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW COMING ON TOO.

TAMAKA RECALL, MY 2007 GMC ACADIA, LOST POWER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS DOING ABOUT 55 MPH AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ABOVE 20 MPH.. THANKFULLY I WASN'T HURT BUT WAS SCARY BC OTHER PEOPLE WERE BEHIND ME AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN SO FAST! AFTER FURTHER REVIEW THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND TO ME SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I STILL HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT BUT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NO LONGER ON. I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN YOU COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND LOSE POWER... THEN WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP THE CAR SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER ONLY UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS WOULD BE ONE THING IF THIS WAS A ONE PERSON CASE BUT THIS IS A MANY PERSON CASE! THANK YOU

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING FOR 2 SECONDS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I SUDDENLY FELT STEERING BEING HEAVE AND LOSING CONTROL AND BRAKES WAS NOT WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOWLY AROUND 20 MPH IN NEIGHBORHOOD. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORST IF I WAS IN FREE WAY.

GENERAL MOTORS SENT ME A RECALL LETTER WITH A RECALL # OF 49151 BACK IN JULY OF 2016. THIS ADDRESSED A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG WHICH COULD DEPLOY AND KILL MYSELF OR A FAMILY MEMBER OR CAUSE TERRIBLE INJURIES TO ANYONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I HAVE CALLED GENERAL MOTORS APPROX. (6) TIMES AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SATISFACTORY RESULTS THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE AIRBAG PROBLEM OR TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THERE HAS BEEN A PERIOD OF TWO (2) YEARS AND EIGHT (8) MONTHS OF TIME THAT HAS EXPIRED WITH NO REPAIRS OR RESOLVES OF THE PROBLEM. THIS LACK OF CARING AND FAILURE TO ACT IS PUTTING MYSELF AS WELL AS MY ENTIRE FAMILY AT JEOPARDY OF DEATH OR DEBILITATING INJURY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. I URGE THOSE IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY TO ACT QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...'''''''...
