ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY STICKS, OR ACCELERATES TO MAXIMUM. OIL PRESSURE GAUGES MAX OUT AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH NO CONCEPT OF SPEED, AND ALSO VERY ILLEGAL. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE, I CAN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. IF I CONTINUE TO TURN THE KEY 90% (BUT NOT ENOUGH TO START THE ENGINE), AND LET OFF, THE GAUGES WILL DROP UP TO 5%. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF RESETTING THE INSTRUMENTS, THE GAUGES WILL RESET. HOWEVER, THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE I MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AT 40 INSTEAD OF 25, BUT MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS 80. CLEARLY UNSAFE.

I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH A RIDE PACKAGE CALLED PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE WITH A GM FACTORY CODE "ZW7". BOTH GM AND GM DEALERSHIPS HAVE A CATALOG ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN ME BUYING AN INCORRECT AND DANGEROUS REAR SHOCK. I HAVE WORKED FOR 6 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND HAVE A VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT PART REFERRED BY GM IS INCORRECT. THE OEM MANUFACTURER (SACHS) IN FRANCE HAS CONCURRED THAT GM IS AT FAULT. GM IS HAVING CONSUMERS PUT ON A FACTORY REPLACEMENT PART INCORRECT FOR VEHICLE AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE WITHIN GM TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. I HAVE IT WELL DOCUMENTED AND IT HAS ALSO BEEN AN ISSUED FOR YUKON OWNERS WITH THE "PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE" OPTION. SACHS IN FRANCE PROVIDED GM WITH A FACTORY SHOCK WITH "NIVOMAT" TECHNOLOGY THAT SHARED THE RIDE LOAD WITH THE REAR SPRINGS. SACHS HAS SINCE DISCONTINUED THE PRODUCT AND AS SUCH NO REPLACEMENT PART CAN BE BOUGHT. A CHANGE OF BOTH THE SPRINGS AND SHOCKS MUST BE DONE AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REQUIREMENT OR OFFER A SOLUTION. INSTEAD THEY SEND DRIVERS DOWN THE ROAD WITH A DANGEROUS RIDE SET UP. WHEN WE DROVE OUR VEHICLE AFTER USING THE GM RECOMMENDED SHOCKS, IT RODE VERY ROUGH AND WHEN WE GOT UP TO SPEED IT ACTUALLY BOUNCED AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON THE ROAD.

MY 2008 GMC YUKON WAS PARKED IN MY UNCOVERED DRIVEWAY. I REMOTE STARTED IN FROM INSIDE TO THE HOUSE TO WARM UP THE ENGINE. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER, I WENT OUTSIDE AND GOT IN THE TRUCK, PLACED KEYS IN IGNITION AND TURNED IT OVER. IT GOT DOWN IN THE MID-30'S LAST NIGHT, SO THERE WAS A THIN LAYER OF FROST ON ALL WINDOWS. I TURNED ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. I DID NOT TURN THE BACK ONE ON AS THE EXHAUST FUMES FROM THE TAILPIPE WERE MELTING THE FROST ON THE BACK WINDOW. I HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE CAR FOR APPROX 3-4 MINUTES WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD BOOM AND GLASS SHATTERING. I LOOKED BACK AND COULD SEE THAT MY BACK WINDOW HAD EXPLODED. SHARDS OF TEMPERED GLASS WERE ALL OVER THE PAVEMENT AND INSIDE THE BACK AREA OF THE TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
AGAIN, I AM WRITING. I IMPLORE YOU TO REINVESTIGATION GMC FOR RUSTED BRAKE LINES. WE REPLACED OURS AFTER THEY WERE SO RUSTED, BEING A CAMPING FAMILY, TOWING A TRAILER WE COULD HAVE ALL DIED. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR OFFICE HAS INVESTIGATED THIS AND FOR WHATEVER REASON DETERMINED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT I THINK THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT IS ON OVERLOAD AND DIDN'T WANT TO HANDLE ANOTHER GM RECALL. GM AND CONSUMERS KNOW THAT THE COMPANY GOT AWAY WITH NOT ISSUING A RECALL. YES, I AM ANGRY AT THE $800 WE HAD TO PAY TO REPAIR THIS BUT I AM MORE ANGRY THAT AFTER GM WAS CONTACTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT I GOT NO WHERE AND THEY WERE SNARKY AND ADMITTED AS MUCH THAT THEY WEREN'T MADE TO BE RESPONSIBLE. AGAIN, I ASK THAT YOU REOPEN THIS INVESTIGATION ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS. AFTERALL, IF IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND AN INDUSTRY WIDE PROBLEM WHY IS IT ONLY GM CARS. YES, I LIVE IN PA BUT I LIVE IN SOUTHERN PA WHERE WE DON'T TYPICALLY GET ALOT OF SNOWY OR ICY WEATHER. MY CAR IS GARAGE PARKED AND ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 6000 MILES PER YEAR. AND THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED? IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE I INTEND TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER. [XXX] VIN UNAVAILABLE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*JB
