FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
ENGINE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF STARTING HARD WHEN HOT OR STALLING WITH NO WARNING. THE SES LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CODES 17, 18, 35 & 36 WERE STORED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS AND TRUCK WAS AT DEALER FOR 3 APPOINTMENTS BUT DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. THESE CODES ALMOST ALWAYS INDICATE A FAILING FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND CALLS TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS LINE ASKING WHY NOTHING WAS BEING DONE TO CHANGE THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED. ALL VISITS TO THE DEALER WERE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. A TRIP FOLLOWING THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEARLY RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION ON AND INTERSTATE AS THE TRUCK STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED A NEW GM FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND RESOLVED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. GM HAS SINCE REINSTATED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SEVERAL TRUCKS INCLUDING MINE. I AM SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A REFUND FOR MY LOSSES.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT WE HEARD A ROAR IN THE REAR END. THE REAR END WAS REPLACE UNDER THE 3YR/36000MILE WARRANTY. SOON AFTER THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. JUST RECENTLY WE TOOK A TRIP AND TOWED OUR 18FT. SKI BOAT WITH US. WHEN WE RETURNED MY WIFE NOTICED A PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. WE HAD NO REVERSE AND THAT PROVED TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. WE CONTACED THE CLOSEST DEALRER TO US: MIKE MORGAN SHREVEPORT, LA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE SO BACKED UP WITH TRANMISSION PROBLEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THEY COULD PICK UP THE TRUCK TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEN THEY WOULD TELL ME WHAT THEY THOUGHT. WELL, I PAID $25,000 FOR A VEHICLE TO SIT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THEY THINK I WILL LET IT SIT WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WALK!!! I DON'T THINK SO! DURING THE LAST OF JULY, MY BROTHER AND LAW AND I REPLACE THE STARTER ON THIS SAME TRUCK TO THE TUNE OF $250.00 YESTERDAY I FOUND A WATER PUMP LEAK AND WAS TOLD THAT WOULD COST ME AROUND $200.00 TO REPAIR. OH YES, THE TRANSMISSION COST ME $1,400.00 TO REPAIR. AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM HAVING A TON OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS THUMBED THEIR NOSE AT ME AND MORE OR LESS SAID "TOUGH LUCK"! WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT IS FAIR. THE TRANSMISSION IS WHAT REALLY UPSET ME. I PAID EXTRA TO HAVE TOWING PACKAGE ON THIS TRUCK AND WE PULLED A BOAT 1 TIME AND THIS HAPPENS. I CAN'T BELEIVE THAT THIS TRUCK CAN'T GET AT LEAST 100,000 MILES ON THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. I ALSO HAVE A BOSS THAT OWNS A 1999 SUBURBAN THAT HAD THE TRANMISSION FAIL ON HIM THIS LAST FRIDAY. HIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 54,000 MILES. WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, I THINK GM HAS A PROBLEM!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING
THE STEERING WOULD JERK THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN A TURN CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. STEERING BOX WAS REPLACED BEFORE. FINALLY THE EVO SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ABS ALSO HAVE NEVER WORKED FELT GOOD, THE PEDAL GOES TO LOW BEFORE THE BRAKES SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE RETAILER SEEMS NOT VERY CONCERNED WITH MY COMPLAINTS. ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT I AM AN AUTOMOBILE TECHNICIAN THEY FEEL I WILL LET THE PROBLEM GO. THEIR REPAIRS HAVE BEEN UNSATISFACTORY FROM THE BEGINNING. I HAVE HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PROBLEMS MANY TIMES BEFORE, FINALLY THE PROBLEMS ARE FIXED. WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM I HAD TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER TECH I KNEW AND ASK HIM THE PROBLEM WHICH HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG IMMEDIATELY.
