VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS GOING TO WORK AND NOTICE MY SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT MOVING...AND THE RMP READING WAS NOT MOVING. I CHECK WITH MY MACHANIC AND THE PRICE WAS OVER $600. TO FIX AND ALL THE CABLES HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL PUT TOGETHER. GMC KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER CABLES. WE HAVE A 94 GMC AND NO PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE PASSENGER DOOR AND RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED. THE DOORS HAVE TO BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCK. I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS, AS THEIR ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THEM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IN AN EMERGENCY IS VERY SCARY. THESE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ARE THERE FOR A REASON GM KNOWS IT. I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $300 PER DOOR AND MANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE WITH QUALITY PARTS THAT WILL NOT FAIL! *TR

STRUCTURE
DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD: THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS ALSO CRACKED BEHIND THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS WORKING WITH [XXX] SERVICE ADVISOR AT FREEWAY CHEVROLET IN CHANDLER, AZ.. HE ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND MANY OF THESE DASHBOARDS COME IN CRACKED REGULARLY. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ANY REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND GETS CAUGHT ON THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. BELOW IS A LINK TO A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR GM PRODUCT.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS INSTALLED BY GM CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. CRACKS OCCURRED ON DRIVERS SIDE (HUMP ABOVE STEERING WHEEL) AND CRACKS IN DASH ON BOTH SIDES OF AIRBAG. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS CRACKED PIECES OF DASH COULD CAUSE HARM TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE. GM IS AWARE OF THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM/DEFECT AND IT IS VERY WIDESPREAD WITH THOUSANDS OR MORE GM CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE YET GM REFUSES TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASH FOR CUSTOMERS WHICH IS ULTIMATELY PUTTING GM CUSTOMERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS IN DANGER. *TR

ENGINE
IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE SNAPPED OFF FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND IT WAS ONLY BEING HELD ON BY 2 OF THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. THIS COULD HAVE FULLY BROKEN OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND JAMMED INTO MY STEERING SHAFT! AFTER A VERY SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ABOUT GM 6.0 ENGINE EXHAUST BOLTS SNAPPING OFF, I DISCOVERED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF ENGINES OF THE 4.8, 5.3, AND 6.0 SIZE. *TR

ENGINE
WHEN VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK IN EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DEALERSHIP FOUND A BROKEN BOLT ON LEFT SIDE AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT I NOW AS OF 01/30/2012 WITH 62,760 MILES I HAVE ANOTHER BOLT BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT GM HAS A DESIGN FAULT IN USING LOWER GRADE BOLT WHICH ARE BREAKING IN LARGE NUMBERS. I IMPLORE THE NTSA TO REQUIRE GM TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE BOLTS EITHER BY RECALL OR AS INCIDENT OCCURS AT NO COST TO CAR OWNERS. I AM TOLD THAT THE EXHAUST LEAK CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND OTHER ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS WHICH CAN RESULT IN SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND RUNNING. IT SUDDENLY BEGAN TO IDLE AS IF SOMEONE WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT READ "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". IT SEEMED TO DRIVE OK. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND MADE APT FOR TUESDAY. (IT WAS THURSDAY) THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT TO LOCAL GARAGE TO READ ENGINE CODE. IT WAS P2135. THE TRUCK THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25MPH. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 FULL MIN TO GET IT AT THAT SPEED. WHEN I WOULD BREAK, THE TRUCK WOULD JUMP AS IF DID NOT WANT TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR COVER. I WAS INFORMED THAT GMC IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE CORRECTED IT. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL AS THERE IS NO ALLEGED SAFETY ISSUES. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A 1,2, AND 3 YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK IN RUSH HOUR, IT IS DARK OUTSIDE, AND YOU ARE AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR TRUCK WON'T ACCELERATE! I HAVE CONTACTED GMC WHO REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE STABILI-TRAC SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED IN THE DIC, THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED IN THE DIC, THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED BY 16% IN THE DIC. DROVE VEHICLE TO EXIT RAMP AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NO WARNINGS IN THE DIC. THE ENGINE DID NOT HOWEVER RUN SMOOTHLY. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO CLEAR SOME CODES AND REPLACED THE TPS. CHECKED ALL FUSES. NO FURTHER PROBLEM. HOWEVER A FRIEND HAS THE SAME VEHICLE IN A 2010 MODEL. SAME PROBLEM DEALER REPLACED A THROTTLE BODY. CHECK OUT THE GM FORUM AT [XXX] THIS FORUM SHOWS LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND IN SOME CASES CAUSING ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON 1-24-2013, AND SO FAR IT APPEARS THAT MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED, HOWEVER IT APPEARS GM IS NOT REALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR THE NEXT OUT OF TOWN TRIP I TAKE. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. PUMPED BRAKES TO GET SLOWED DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED. EXITED VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND FOUND FLUID PUDDLE UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON PUMPING THE BRAKES WHILE STOPPED, I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID SQUIRTING OUT UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO FAIL. THEY WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK OTHER THAN BY DOING IT MANUALLY. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, BOTH OF THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS HAVE FAILED. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I FOUND THIS SITE AFTER DISCOVERING SEVERAL BLOGS WHERE MANY GM OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
