AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
ON NOVEMBER 25, 2007, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-540, APPROX.65 MPH , A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, VEHICLE "ZIG-ZAGED", I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL OVER. ONSTAR CALLED - I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I DIDN'T NEED ANY HELP. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER GOING APPROX 45 MPH. RAN OVER SOMETHING, DIDN'T SEEM AS BIG AS A POTHOLE - BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. ONSTAR CALLED THINKING I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM HOME AND THAT I COULD GET THERE WITHOUT CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (AUTOPARK BUICK, PONTIAC, GMC IN WENDELL, NC.(I THINK IT WAS TOWED ON 11/29/07). REPORTED TO GM, FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL TO ADVISE THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, ON 12/26/07. REQUESTED A COPY OF THE REPORT IN WRITING, WHICH I FINALLY RECEIVED AFTER 2 REQUESTS ON 01/19/2008. THEIR REPORT STATES THAT THERE WAS ONLY 1 EVENT - 44 MPH - ROLLOVER SENSOR DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED TO ASK THAT THEY REVIEW THE INFORMATION AGAIN OR HAVE THE "RECORDER IN THE CAR" CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE FILE WAS CLOSED. CONTACTED ONSTAR AND RECEIVED A LETTER CONFIRMING THE 2 EVENTS . CALLED GM BACK TO TELL THEM I HAD NEW INFORMATION THAT SUPPORTED THE FACT THAT THERE WERE 2 EVENTS, AND THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG ON GM'S END - EITHER THE RECORDER WAS BAD OR THE DATA COLLECTED WAS ACCIDENTALLY ENTERED INCORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FILE WAS CLOSED AND WOULD NOT BE REOPENED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. VEHICLE STILL AT DEALERSHIP - NOT REPAIRED IN CASE ANOTHER INSPECTION NEEDS TO BE MADE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK. ONCE I HIT 60MPH, IT GETS STUCK THERE. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR IT STAYS AT 60 SO IT ACTS AS IF IT'S AT 0MPH. AT THAT POINT IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING 100MPH WHEN IN REALITY I'M GOING 40MPH UNTIL IT GETS STUCK PAST 120MPH. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTS SLOWLY DROPPING. IT'S AMAZING THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AFTER MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS. I WILL MAKE SURE TO GIVE NEGATIVE REPORTS TO ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY A GM VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO POTENTIAL USED GM OWNERS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 DENALI SHIFTING. I GO TO STOP AND THEN TAKE OFF AND IT ACTS LIKE ITS SLIPPING AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN IT GRABS WITH A CLUNK. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT ALL TIMES OF IT BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER PUT UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE IT THEN THEY CANT FIX IT. WELL GM WILL NOT PAY THEM FOR WARRANTY WORK UNLESS. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT IT MADE A LOUD CLUNK AND THEN WAS SLIPPING AS YOU PUSHED THE GAS, SO RIGHT THEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD DRIVE IT. THE TRANSMISSION TECH DROVE IT AND LOOK AT THE TRANS FLUID AND IT WAS 1 1/2 QTS LOW. NO LEAKS EVER AND IT HAS BEEN IN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND 3 IN THE LAST 2 1/2 MONTHS AND THE FLUIDS, I HOPE WERE GOOD. TECH TOPPED IT OFF AND IT SHIFTED FINE FOR THE WEEKEND. THEN THE NEXT MONDAY IT STARTED SLIPPING AND HARDLY ACCELERATING AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THE TECH CHECKED CODE AND IT HAD SOME TORQUE CONVERTER CODES. THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WORK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK IN AND THE SERVICE DEPT. CALLED GM AND THEY HAD THEM CHANGE THE IGNITION SW (MODULE I THINK). I WILL POST CODE AND EXACT WHEN I GET THE INFO FROM THE DEALER. I WILL SEE IF THIS FIXES IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ON THE DATE LISTED BELOW, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO REGISTER INCORRECT SPEEDS. IT THEN BECAME STUCK ON 70 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. IT HAS NOT STOPPED WORKING ALL THE WAY AND IS STUCK AT 140MPH. WHILE AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, I ASKED AN ATTENDANT IF HE WAS GETTING MANY SPEEDOMETER REPAIRS FOR MY MAKE/MODEL. HE STATED THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY "STEP MOTOR"?? I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND HE STATED "HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANY PROBLEMS." HE STATED HE WOULD FIX MY SPEEDOMETER FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. THE SERVICE TECH STATED THE MOTOR COSTS $10. I HAVE READ A FEW THREADS ON THE TOPIC AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND NOT THE PROPER RESPONSE FROM THE MAKER. BASICALLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND A CAR COMPANY MAKING LOTS OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT. VEHICLE I OWN IS A 2004 YUKON DENALI. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
I HAVE 2003 GMC YUKON WITH ONLY 43K THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN '03. THE PROBLEM IS ITS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS TOLD BY A GM MECHANIC THAT MY PARKING BRAKE IS ABOUT TO FAIL DUE TO WORN SHOES. HOW IS THAT SO? I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS JUST YET. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT MY PARKING BRAKE SHOES WEAR OUT WAY BEFORE MY BRAKE PADS DO, THAT I USED EVERY TIME I DRIVE? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, STEERING
I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF ONE 11 YEAR OLD SON. I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON AND I HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN MY STEERING COLUMN AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS OPERATING VERY ERRATICALLY. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL GMC DEALER THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT COVERED. MY CONCERN IS IF I SHOULD BE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE I CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING WHEN THE FRONT STEERING BREAKS DUE TO A STEERING COMPONENT FAILURE WHO WILL RAISE MY SON THE STATE OR GMC? I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR GMC AND THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2004 GMC DENALI HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAGE NOT SHOWING CORRECT READINGS. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 50,60,70 WHEN YOU ARE ONLY GOING 30. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY I AM PASSING EVERYONE AND HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW FAST I AM GOING. I CAN BE GOING PRETTY FAST JUST SETTING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT SOMETIMES. AND I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE ANYMORE. THEY SENT OUT A LETTER THAT STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THIS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. WELL MY VEHICLE HAS 108000 MILES ON IT, BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT TO TRAVEL IN AND WE DRIVE IT. THEY DON'T CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO NO RECALL. SINCE WHEN DOES DRIVING 90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING 70 NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? OR PERHAPS RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND FREEZING TO DEATH. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON A THREE HOUR TRIP, I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER GETTING A TICKET FOR SPEEDING. I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD EITHER STICK AT THE SPEED I WAS GOING AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THEN SOMETIMES IT WOULD JUST FALL TO 0. GM HAS A TSB OUT FOR THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR 7 YEARS 70,000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SINCE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH 96,000 MILES ON IT, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND WAS AMAZED AT THE 600$ FIXING PRICE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX WHAT I AND EVERYONE ELSE WOULD CONSIDER A RECALL THAT THEY DON'T. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED SPORADICALLY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. A LOCAL MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK) AND REFERRED HIM TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED AT HIS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS A BUTTON WITH A STICK FIGURE IN A SITTING POSITION AND AN ARROW AT THE FEET OF THE STICK FIGURE TO INDICATE AIR TO BE DISCHARGED AT THE FLOOR BY THE FAN. WHEN I PUSH THAT BUTTON FOR HEATING, UNFORTUNATELY, 80-90% OF THE AIR IS BEING DISCHARGED AT THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD THROUGH A SMALL VENT ON THE FAR RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO BLOW ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS TO DEFROST THEM. THERE IS ADDITIONAL LEAKAGE OF A SMALL VOLUME OF AIR AT THE DEFROST VENT FOR THE WINDSHIELD AND, WHATEVER'S LEFT, BLOWS ON THE FLOOR. THE NET RESULT IS THE VEHICLE IS PUMPING MOST OF THE HOT AIR TO THE CEILING (BECAUSE THE SMALL DASHBOARD VENTS POINT UP) WHERE HOT AIR NATURALLY WANTS TO BE AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET HOT AIR ON THE FLOOR WHERE, ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE MAJORITY OF THE AIR SHOULD BE DIRECTED. THE COMPARTMENT, THEREFORE, TAKES FOREVER TO WARM UP AND YOUR FEET ACTUALLY GET COLD WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING THE CAR.
