STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
MEMORY MIRRORS DO NOT RETURN TO THE CORRECT SETTINGS. CONSUMER WAS ORGINALLY TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM; HOWEVER, TWO DEALERSHIPS HAD DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT FIX IT. HAD IT IN A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES, AND SEVERAL PARTS OF VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPLACED, INCLUDING MIRRORS/ MIRROR ACTUATORS/ LIFTGATE CONTROL MODULE , AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTROL MODULE. THIS MIRROR DEFECT WAS SIMILAR TO THE ONES MENTIONED IN ODI ID NUMBERS 755966, 757526, 757914, 759042, 759973, 760504 AND 8000646. CONSUMER'S FILE NUMBER WITH GMC HAS BEEN 1-11855349. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN THINKING THAT MIRRORS WERE SET, THEY WERE NOT. AT NIGHT OR IN THE DARK CONSUMER MUST WAIT TO SEE A LIGHT TO SET THEM. DT. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ALL THESE PROBLEMS COME AND GO, SOMTIMES DEPENDING ON THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. SOME OF IT GOT FIXED AND CAME BACK AGAIN. THE MAJOR PROBLEMS ARE THAT THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING - NO ENGINE NO ELECTRIC NOTHING-, SO ITS EVEN NOT POSSIBLE TO CALL ON STAR! THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION START TO SHIFT GEARS WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVELED RAOD AT CONSISTANT SPEED. ALL THIS ITEMS GOT FIXED AND COME BACK AFTER A WHILE. DT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ENGINE STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I ADVISED THEM OF A RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT MAY AFFECTED THE PROBLEM. SAYS THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. ALSO TRANSMISSION MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OFF AT TIMES. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ENGINE FAN THAT WILL NOT GO OFF. THERE IS A MAJOR LOST OF POWER WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A PROGRAM CAR, WITH @ 11, 000 MILES ON IT ALREADY. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM DAY ONE. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT A FEW MONTHS. I AM EXTREMELY IRRITATED WITH THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. DT
