FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY COMPLAINT AS WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS......IF GMC IS ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY GAS SENSORS, THEN WHY DO I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HALF OF THE BILL TO CORRECT IT ? MY CAR CANNOT PASS MY STATES EMISSIONS TESTING, BECAUSE AS LONG AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL...I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WANT GMC TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENTIRE BILL...NOT HALF !! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS INCORRECTLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD SHOW HALF TANK OR MORE WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS LESS GAS. NOW THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE AUDIBLE FUEL WARNING FOR LOW FUEL ALSO RINGS CONSTANTLY. AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR WAS TOO COSTLY. WE WERE HOWEVER CHARGED A $100 FEE JUST FOR THE GMC DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. WE NOW TRACK FUEL USING THE TRIP COMPUTER. LOOK ONLINE FOR SOME HELP I WAS AMAZED TO FIND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE AND ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE GAS TANK OR HOSE IS LEAKING. THIS IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND IT IS GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AN FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD RECALLS ON TRAILBLAZERS FOR JUST THIS REASON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MARK EMPTY FUEL TANK AND SOMETIMES FULL TANK, UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER THAT THE FUEL GAGE MARKS EMPTY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 2009 AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IF I NEED THE REPAIR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. I CONTACT GM ON THEIR 1-800 NUMBER BUT THEIR AUTOMATED RESPONSE DENIED ANY CLAIMS. A FEW MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND WILLING TO SHARE HALF OF THE COST FOR THE REPAIR. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR FAILURE AND BAD QUALITY? THE PARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED AT LEAST A MILLION CYCLES, BUT APPARENTLY NOT, AND MY VEHICLE FAILED AT THE 78TH TIME OF FILL-UP THE TANK, WHAT A SHAME.... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. SOMETIMES YOU CAN RESTART IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. NOW IT SPUTTERS AND HAS VERY LITTLE POWER. IF YOU TURN ON ANYTHING IT MAKES IT WORSE. IT SURGES AND STALLS. IT CHUGS ALONG UNTIL YOU TURN OFF AS MAY ELECTRICAL ITEMS AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK DOING 40 MPH WHEN I LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY SPEED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STATED THAT I WAS GOING 70 MPH AND IT WAS GOING HIGHER. I BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO ANY LESS THAN 70 MPH, EVEN WHEN I PARKED MY CAR AT MY JOB IT WAS STILL READING 70 MPH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN FEBRUARY I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ON THE THRUWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED WORKING. I LUCKILY PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER BUT HAD TO WAIT THERE IN THE DARK, TERRIFIED THAT WE WOULD BE HIT FROM BEHIND, AS IT WAS DARK. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I FOUND OUT THE CAR WAS SIMPLY OUT OF GAS! THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT READ EMPTY BUT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!! SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL MORE OCCASIONS, ONCE WITH 5 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT NIGHT. GMC IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL AND IT NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE FAULTY SENSOR, BUT OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD ALSO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO REPRESENT TRUE VEHICLE SPEED. USING A GPS WE CAN MONITOR THE INACCURACY IN THE GAUGE READING. THE SPEEDOMETER REFLECTS A SPEED OF 25 WHEN ACTUAL SPEED IS 45. THIS BECOMES WORSE AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AS THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY FAILS TO REGISTER SPEED. AN IDENTICAL ISSUE WAS PRESENT ON A 2003 CHEVROLET TRUCK WE OWN WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY GM UNDER AN IN-HOUSE PROGRAM RESULTING FROM A LAWSUIT. GM HAS DECLINED TO REPAIR THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. IF A DRIVER CANNOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE HIS/HER SPEED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT THE POSSIBILITY FOR SAFETY RELATED INSTANCES ARE INCREASED FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON THE FL TPKE. IN MY 2006 GMC ENVOY ON 11/8/11 JUST SOUTH OF ORLANDO AT 9:30 PM WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME JAMMED ON THE BREAKS BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM WAS DRIVING UNSAFELY. WHEN I JAMMED ON MY BRAKES THE ABS DID NOT FUNCTION AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. I WAS SWERVING VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE ACROSS THE TWO LANE HIGHWAY UNTIL I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL WITH MUCH PHYSICAL EFFORT. I THOUGHT I WAS A DEAD MAN BUT I SURVIVED. THANK GOD THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID STRIKING THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS TIRE SMOKE EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. GMC NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK THE LIGHT CAME ON AS IF THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I ACTUALLY STOPPED WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND LOOKED AT MY RECEIPT AND QUESTIONED THE ATTENDANT. THE TANK WAS FULL. THE GAUGE WAS ERRATIC FROM THEN ON GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY IN A MATTER OF TWO TO THREE MILES AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY. THE FUNNY THING WAS THAT I JUST GOT A LETTER FROM GMC ADVISING ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND MAGNANIMOUSLY OFFERING TO PAY FOR 50% OF THE COST. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE TIMING. THINKING IT WAS A MINOR THING I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT I AM FACING A MINIMUM OF $600.00 FOR DROPPING MY GAS TANK AND CHECKING TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SERIOUSLY!!!???? WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?? WHY AM I BURDENED WITH THIS RIDICULOUS COST WHEN IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS A FALSE READING ON THE GAS GAUGE COULD MAKE THE DRIVER THINK THEY HAVE A FULL TANK WHEN IN FACT IT IS EMPTY AN THE VEHICLE COULD STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CAUSE A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY REQUEST FOR ACTION FROM GMC TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR EXPENSE - NOT THE CONSUMERS'. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLINKER SWITCH HOUSING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V198000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.
