WHILE FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON AN ON RAMP FROM ONE HWY TO ANOTHER, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME DROVE DIRECTLY OVER SOMETHING LAYING IN THE ROAD (STRADDLING THE DEBRIS WITH IT'S TIRES). THIS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND I MADE A QUICK SWERVE/EVASIVE ACTION TO MISS RUNNING OVER WHATEVER IT WAS LAYING IN THE ROAD. ALL OF MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME AND I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED FOR ANOTHER 1/4 MILE OR SO. I CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN AND THEY HAD A SO-CALLED INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR COME OUT AND LOOK AT MY VEHICLE (AT THE TIME IT WAS AT A DEALERSHIP). I RECEIVED A REPORT BACK SAYING THE COMPUTER SENSED A POTENTIAL ROLLOVER. NEVER WAS THERE A POTENTIAL ROLLOVER. I JUST SWERVED TO MISS SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OTHERWISE. GM LEFT IT AT THAT. NO OTHER INVESTIGATION WAS DONE. AFTER TWO YEARS, I HAVE YET TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE, BECAUSE IT STILL IRKS ME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I HAVE JUST READ A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT AN ISSUE I AM HAVING NOW, AND HAVE HAD 3 TIMES IN THE PAST. WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, I HAVE HAD MY SUV BECOME VERY SLUGGISH AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. LIGHTS COME ON SAY LOSS OF POWER, STABILITRAC PROBLEM ETC. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS VISITING ORLANDO FLORIDA. I TOOK THE SUV TO A DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ECM AND REPROGRAMMED IT. I LEFT BACK THE NEXT DAY FOR ATLANTA. NEARLY 80 MILES AWAY IN OCALA FLORIDA, IT STARTED DOING THIS AGAIN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND HAD IT TAKEN TO AN OCALA DEALERSHIP. THEY IN TURN TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD ECM, AND AFTER SPENDING AN ENTIRE DAY IN OCALA, I WAS BACK ON MY WAY TO ATLANTA. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I HAD THIS OCCUR AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I HAD IT TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP IN ATLANTA. THEY RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS ON IT, AND SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN ECM PROBLEM, AS THE CODE COMING UP WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR IN THE FLOOR BOARD THAT READS THE DISTANCEOF THE GAS PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR BOARD. AS IT IS A DRIVE BY SENSOR VS DRIVE BY WIRE. THEY REPAIRED THIS, AND ALTHOUGH I FELT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE TIME, THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY DIAGNOSED WRONG WERE DONE SO WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ENDED UP CUTTING THE COSTS IN HALF. I HAD NO CHOICE, AS I NEEDED MY VEHICLE BACK. NOW IT HAS OCCURRED THE FORTH TIME. I HAVE RESORTED TO THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT I'M FINDING THROUGH THIS RESEARCH, IT SOUNDS AS IF MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. WHILE RESEARCHING, I WAS ALERTED TO THIS SITE, THUS THE REASON I'M POSTING HERE. MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS IT SEEMS THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, AND GMC IS KEEPING IT UNDER WRAPS. *TR

THERE ARE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASH THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DUE TO THIS VERY COMMON ISSUE, BUT THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. MY MAIN CONCERN IS ONE OF THE CRACKS IS BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WHICH COULD BE A HAZARD DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. WITH A POSSIBLE CHANCE OF SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. THE OTHER CRACK IN THE DASH IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO THE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER I SUSPECT THE DASH WILL CONTINUE TO CRACK IN MORE SPOTS AS TIME GOES ON. I FEEL LIKE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS THIS IS A FLAW IN EITHER MATERIALS OR DESIGN. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, MY TRUCK WAS DRIVING FINE. THEN THE STABILITRAK CAME ON. WHEN IT CAME ON THE ENGINE SLOW DOWN, AND ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND CALL THE GMC DEALER, TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND THEY ASKED COULD I BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AFTER THEY SERVICE THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THAT THE STABILITRAK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HADN'T EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A FULL YEAR. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALER I ASKED COULD I STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THAT I COULD. SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT MOVED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO IMMEDIATELY START IT CAUSE I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER CAR AT A LIGHT. I WAS GLAD THAT IT DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. MAYBE TWO MINUTES IT STARTED AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PRESS THE GAS IT TOOK OFF FAST. WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS GONE. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER, THE SPEED WILL DROP BELOW 20 MPH. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE OFF, WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GAS. HELP AM SCARED THAT IT MIGHT TAKE OFF AND HIT SOMEONE OR SHUTOFF AND HIT SOMEONE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT I FEEL GMC SHOULD LOOK INTO BEFORE SOME DIES OR REALLY GET HURT. *TR

STARTED THE MOTOR IN THE MORNING NOTICED A LIGHT TICKING NOISE COME FROM THE MOTOR. SOUNDS LIKE THE LIFTERS ARE TAPPING. THE NOISE USE TO ONLY BE IN THE MORNING BUT NOW IT IS CONSTANT. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSIS WAS INFORMED THAT THE LIFTERS ARE GOING BAD!!!!! WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST AROUND 3000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY OTHER GM OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE A RECALL PLACED ON THESE MOTORS I THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT WE HAVE TO PAY OUT SO MUCH MONEY TO OWN A NICE CAR JUST TO HAVE IT TURN INTO A BIG PILE. MY LOW MILEAGE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS 200000 MILES ON IT. *TR
