SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVER SIDE FRONT ROTOR OUTER SURFACE HAS FULL METAL TO METAL CONTACT WITH ZERO BRAKE PAD MATERIAL AND HAD TO BE PRIED OUT. DRIVER SIDE FRONT ROTOR INNER HAS UNEVEN PARTIAL SURFACE CONTACT WITH ROTOR AND IS JAMMED IN THE CARRIER (UNABLE TO REMOVE BY HAND, HAD TO BE HAMMERED OUT OF THE CARRIER). PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE ROTOR OUTER HAS PERFECT SURFACE BUT BRAKE PAD LOOKED BRAND NEW... NO WEAR ON IT AND IS JAMMED IN THE CARRIER. PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE ROTOR INNER SURFACE HAS PARTIAL CONTACT WITH BRAKE PAD... HEAVY THICK RUSTY RIDGE FORMED AND BRAKE PAD SHOWED RIDGE IMPRESSION ON IT. CUSTOMER SAID THE BRAKE WAS DONE BY DEALER TWO YEARS AGO. THE MAIN CULPRIT IS THE BRAKE PADS ARE JAMMED IN THE CARRIER BECAUSE THE BRAKE PAD BACKING PLATE IS TOO LONG TO INSERT OR TO MOVE FREELY. THERE IS SOME KIND OF DESIGN FLAW/SPECIFICATION PROBLEM. THE DRIVER SIDE REQUIRED MUCH MORE SHORTENING OF THE NEW BRAKE PAD BACKING PLATE THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. BRAKE PAD TAB WIDTH WAS PERFECT AND MOVES EASILY WITH NO PLAY. IT IS ONLY THE LENGTH OF THE BRAKE PAD TABS ARE THE ISSUES. I AM NOT SURE IF THE BRAKE PAD/CALIPER CARRIER IS AT FAULT... POSSIBILITY OF BENDING OR TWISTING THAT MAY CAUSE THE ISSUE OF BRAKE PAD BEING JAMMED, OR TOO LONG TO INSERT. IT IS SUCH A STRONG METAL THAT THERE IS NO WAY ANY HUMAN CAN PHYSICALLY BEND IT NOR SIMPLY DROPPING IT. IT WOULD TAKE A SEVERE FORCE TO ACTUALLY BEND THE CARRIER SUCH AS THE VEHICLE ITSELF UNDER REPEATED BRAKING. I THINK THIS IS THE MOST PLAUSIBLE REASON FOR THIS SITUATION. NEW BRAKE PADS HAS SAME PROBLEM... THE LENGTH OF THE BACKING PLATE TABS ARE TOO LONG TO INSERT INTO CARRIER ON DRIVER SIDE AND THEY DO FIT TOO TIGHT IN PASSENGER SIDE CARRIER. WE HAD TO SHORTEN THE BRAKE PAD TABS TO ALLOW THE PADS TO MOVE SMOOTHLY IN THE CARRIER.

EXCESSIVE OIL LEAK WENT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO LEAK A QUART BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. HAD NUMEROUS TESTS DONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS STILL WITHIN STANDARDS. I AM SORRY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT A QUART BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS ACCEPTABLE. BEEN ONGOING FOR A WHILE AND I AM SURE IT IS LEAKING TWO QUARTS AND THERE IS A SEAL LEAKING NEAR THE OIL PAN. PRETTY SEVERE TO HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER IN THE BEGINNING. THEY WANT OVER $600 TO REPAIR THE LEAK NOW. *JS

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED, BUT UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND SERVICED, UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS WE NOTICED THE CRACKS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG AREA, WE CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, SINCE GMC DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ISSUED, HOWEVER THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GMC VEHICLES AND THERE IS OVERWHELMING DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. THERE ARE CUTS AROUND THE AIRBAG AREA WITH SHARP EDGES AND IN CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS, THEY WOULD BE FLYING LIKE DAGGERS AND ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL THE ENGINE STARTED BACKFIRING,PULLED THE CAR OVER AND PUT INTO PARK IDLE COMPLETELY UNSTABLE, TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HARD SHIFT ON TRANSMISSION. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS THEY SAY THE LIFTERS ARE BAD AND ARE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. QUOTED ME 2700.00 TO REPLACE 2 LIFTERS SO NOT ACCEPTABLE THIS CAR DOES NOT EVEN REQUIRE A TUNE UP UNTIL 100000 MILES. EXPLAINED THAT TO THE SERVICE REP AND HE CAME BACK WITH A DIFFERENT QUOTE TELLING ME THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COVER HALF. REALLY WHY WOULD YOU OFFER TO PAY HALF RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I BELIEVE THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND TRYING TO COVER IT UP. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAS A YEAR NEWER MODEL AND JUST HAD THE SAME ISSUE REPAIRED LAST MONTH. THEY ALSO PAID HALF FOR HIS. HOW IRONIC IS THAT. I DONT BELIEVE THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A FAULTY PART ON AN ENGINE GM SHOULD BE! THERE ARE MANY POST ON THE INTERNET OF OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEM THIS MOTOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

THE DASHES OF ALL GM TRUCKS AND SUVS ARE CRACKING, BADLY. THEY'RE DESIGNED POORLY AND CRACK RIGHT AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SECTION. IN THE EVENT OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, IT WILL SEND JAGGED PLASTIC SHARDS TOWARDS THE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND A SERIOUS HAZARD BUT GM REFUSES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED, HENCE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. SIMPLY GOOGLE GM CRACKED DASH AND ENJOY ALL THE POSTS AND VIDEOS FROM FRUSTRATED AMERICANS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN ITHACA, (MAQUIRE CHEVY-CADILLAC) NEAR ITHACA MALL. THE VEHICLE ENGINE SOUND LIKE IF SOMEONE WAS HITTING THE ENGINE WITH A HARD OBJECT, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM,LATER THAT NIGHT I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND DROVE LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME NOISE CAME BACK ON. DROVE BACK AND COMPLAIN OF THE PROBLEM THAT BEING FIX AND WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP. THAT A LIFTER HAD WENT ON THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD COST APPROX. 1,600.00 TO FIX THAT PROBLEM BUT WHEN NOT GUARANTEE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED UP HIS SCREEN AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS ON IT. I PAID $4,774.84 FOR A NEW ENGINE, BUT GMC DID NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. ALL I WANT FOR LABOR IS $600.00 AND 203.00 FOR THE RENTAL CAR. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO SHOW WHAT WAS PAID AND THE BREAK OF WHAT NEEDED TO DONE TO ENGINE. I CONTACTED GMC 1-800 NUMBER WHICH WAS A JOKE, THEY LISTEN BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I NEEDED THE VEHICLE TO BE FIX, WHICH WAS AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
MY WIFE'S 2007 YUKON XL HAD A MESSAGE THAT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS OFF AND A REDUCTION IN POWER MESSAGE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR. WHEN THIS MESSAGE CAME ON THE YUKON CAME TO A VERY DANGEROUS REDUCTION IN SPEED AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING REARENDED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND HER. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE MESSAGE RESET BUT CAME BACK ON SOON AFTER SHE GOT BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND CHECKED ALL GROUND STRAPS REPLACED THE BATTERY AND HAVE CHECKED THE HARNESS. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED AND SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE TO START REPLACING PARTS ON THE VEHICLE JUST TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS ON LINE WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE GM PRODUCTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND REPAIR THEM.- *TR
