POWER TRAIN, STEERING
FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT THE POWER STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN NOT MOVING OR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. SECOND PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR WHICH WILL CAUSE ME TO PULL OVER TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN ALLOWING IT TO SHIFT.

STEERING
WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN REGARDLESS IF I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER. SOMETIMES IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE THAT IT'S NEVER MADE BEFORE UNTIL NOW AND AS OF THIS PAST WEEKEND ANY TIME I TRY TO TURN ITS EXTREMELY HARD. I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES JUST TRYING TO GET MY CAR HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT'S FULL. *TR

ENGINE
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I NEED AN INSPECTION STICKER. FOUND OUT TODAY AFTER I TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER THAT I NOW NEED TO REPLACE MY TIMING CHAIN. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR A YEAR AND A HALF. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT DOUBT ITS COVERED. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL, IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MORE THAN JUST ME.

ENGINE
THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH A MISS IN THE ENGINE AND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US IT WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE TIMING BELT AND BEING OUT OF TIME, SAID IT WOULD BE $5000. SO WE WANTED A SECOND OPINION AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHICH IS A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE SAME THING BUT HE SAID HE COULD JUST REPLACE THE TIMING BELT AND GET IT GOING AND HE REPLACED IT BUT ITS STILL OUT OF TIME AND IT COST $3250. THE GM DEALERSHIP KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEM AND THAT THE 2009 MODEL WAS COVERED UNDER THE ENGINE RECALL BUT NOT 2010 OR NEWER EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. HAD TO END UP BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND STILL HAVE THE OTHER ONE PARKED IN THE SHED AND CANT DRIVE IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR MY A/C NOT BLOWING COLD AIR AND WHEN IT IS REFILLED IT BUILDS UP PRESSURE AND THEN I CAN HEAR IT ALL SPRAYING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD LIKE AN AIR HOSE. ALSO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS MY CAMSHAFT SENSOR, I WAS TOLD BOTH OF THESE WERE RECALLED AND THE GMC DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE CARE OF ME FOR FREE, I TOOK MY CAR TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME AND SAID MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS AND IF THERE WAS THEY STILL COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE IT WAS OVER THE MILES REQUIRED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS IS GETTING THEIRS FIXED FOR FREE BUT I WAS UNABLE TO BE HELPED, I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS FAIR I AM A SINGLE MOM RIDING AROUND IN THIS HEAT WORKING MY TAIL OFF TO DO THE BEST I CAN . I AM A VERY UNHAPPY GMC CUSTOMER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS A/C FIXED FOR YEARS AND I CAN'T CATCH A BREAK!
