#756375January 3, 2002
STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
WHILE DRIVING, REAR CARGO DOOR OPENS. DEALERSHIP STATED GAP AT THE TOP OF THE DOORS WAS NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEM; GAP WAS JUST AN ADJUSTMENT. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. ONCE PROBLEM DUPLICATED, PARTS ORDERED INCORRECTLY. AUTO OUT OF STATE FOR 4 MONTHS. RETURNED IN APRIL 2001 AND LATCH REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE DOORS RATTLED/CHATTERED. BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES AND DEALERSHIP FAILURE TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS, GMC CO REP CONTACTED AND ALL ITEMS WERE COMPLETED EXCEPT THE ISSUE RATTLE/CHATTER. CO REP STATED NEW WEATHER STRIPPING. 6 MONTHS OF ADJUSTING, WEATHER STRIPPING AND WAITING ON PARTS THE GAP IS STILL APPARENT AND CAUSING THE RATTLE CHATTER. 11/30/2001 DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE RATTLE/CHATTER IS TO PULL IN ON THE PASSENGER CARGO DOOR AND PUSH OUT ON THE DRIVER CARGO DOOR. INDEPENDENT EXPLAINED THAT UNTIL YOU KNOW WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DOORS, HINGES OR BODY OF THE VEHICLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE DOORS TO STOP RATTLING/CHATTERING. BECAUSE OF TIME RESTRAINTS AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP, PROPOSAL OF EITHER TRADING ME OUT TO A NEW VEHICLE (PAYING $8,150.07 DIFFERENCE) OR BUYING BACK CAR FOR $28,500. NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP. 01/03/2002 GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED CO REP SAID NO BUY BACK OF VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DO IS TO CONTINUE ADJUSTING THE DOORS TO LATCH TIGHTER. I QUESTIONED WHY THAT WOULD BE DONE AND NO ANSWER GIVEN. THIS CAR HAS A MARKETABILITY ISSUE. NO ONE WILL WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT RATTLE/CHATTER DOWN THE ROAD.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
38.5 GALLON GAS TANK CAN ONLY BE FILLED TO 2/3 TO 3/4 LEVEL BECAUSE THE DUAL GAS TANK DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW GASOLINE VAPORS TO EVACUATE, TRAPPING THE GAS VAPORS IN THE TANK WHERE THEY COULD CONCEIVABLY EXPLODE. ALTHOUGH THE DESIGN OF THIS CHASSIS IS TWO YEARS OLD, THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC CONTACTED GM, AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WOULD NOT DISCLOSE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO REMEDY IT, OR WHEN CUSTOMERS CAN EXPECT THE DESIGN DEFECT TO BE FIXABLE.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
TWO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEIR WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE FAILED. ALSO WITH LOW MILEAGE. THESE ARE SHIELDED BEARINGS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE LUBRICATION. BEARING ON MY TRUCK WAS HALF GONE WHEN THEY REPLACED IT. IT WAS MIS DIAGNOSED BY J.P. THIBODEAUX GMC IN NEW IBERIA, LA. AND CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED BY COURTESY GMC OF LAFAYETTE, LA. I HAD MADE TWO TRIPS TO J.P. THIBODEAUX COMPLAINING ABOUT THE NOISE AND WHEEL LOCKING UP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A WHEEL SENSOR, CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TOLD TO DRIVE TRUCK HOME WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES EACH WAY AT 70 MPH. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW. THESE BEARINGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED BY A QUALITY BEARING.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
CONTINOUS ENGINE RAP AND AND NOISES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM SINCE FIRST OIL CHANGE. NOW AFTER PROMISES IN WRITTING FROM GMC, GMC SAYS THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS DOCUMENTED NUMEROUS TIMES DURING THE COURSE OF THE WARRANTY AND NEVER FIXED CORRECTLY. I FEEL THAT AFTER THIS INCIDENT GMC DOES NOT STAND BEHIND NOT ONLY THEIR PRODUCT BUT THEIR WORD. GMC'S FINAL WORD IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS NEVER CORRECTED DURING WARRANTY THEY HAVE GOT ME PAST THE WARRANTY AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *AK
