ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALWAYS GO INTO PARK. IN ORDER TO GET IT INTO PARK YOU HAVE TO REPEATEDLY SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK UNTIL IT WILL GO INTO PARK. IF IT IS NOT IN PARK THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK AND WILL NOT POWER DOWN. SINCE IT WILL NOT GO INTO PARK IF THE VEHICLE WAS ON A HILL AND IT DID NOT GO INTO PARK THEN IT WOULD HAVE THE CHANCE TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO SEE IF IT WILL ROLL DOWN THE HILL NOR AM I GOING TO TRY BUT SEEING HOW IT SHOWS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL I'M SURE IT WILL ROLL IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AFTER YOU HAVE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK ON THE GEAR SELECTOR A MESSAGE COMES UP ON THE SCREEN THAT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK IT HAS TAKEN UP TO 20 TRIES OF SHIFTING THE VEHICLE IN AND OUT OF PARK UNTIL PARK WILL ENGAGE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE ALL GAUGES ARE AT THEIR LOWEST POINT SHOWING NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE AND THE SHIFT INDICATOR IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION WITH THE MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY READING SHIFT TO PARK.

STEERING
TOOK VEHICLE INTO A GMC DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUE THAT WAS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL GMC COVERAGE. DEALERSHIP FOUND AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING AND PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO MODERATE LEAK, MILEAGE 65366 ON 11/7/19. VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ALL MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME AT A GMC LEADERSHIP. EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED IN SEPTEMBER 2019. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM GMC ISSUE FOR YEARS ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. THE POWER STEERING PUMP ON A 4 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED. CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GIVE ME A COST DISCOUNT. CASE NUMBER FROM GMC IS [XXX]. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $900 ON AN ISSUE THAT GMC KNEW ABOUT. I WAS LUCKY THE ISSUES WAS IDENTIFIED AT THIS APPOINTMENT AND NOT WHEN DRIVING. GMC SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL COVERAGE ON THIS ISSUE JUST LIKE THE SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT BELTS
HELLO, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT COVERS (2) COMING OFF ON THE DRIVE SIDE MIDDLE SEATS. THE GMC DEALER SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE ISSUE. BUT I HAVE 2 TODDLERS AND NO SEAT BELT COVERS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY AS 30,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT WITH 21,000 CERTIFIED. THIS SHOULD BE A BIG CONCERN WITH ANY VEHICLE PURCHASE. SEAT BELTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE STURDY AND SOLID THIS IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE OUR LIFE IF NEEDED. I'M LOST I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE BUT NO KINDA OF ACTION IS BEING TAKING. WE NEED SOMEONE TO HELP OUT THE CONSUMERS. I ASK THE DEALER IF IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SEATS RETRACT AND I GOT POSSIBLY BUT NO HELP. IT SEEMS LIKE GMC IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE'S SAFETY.
