ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FEB. 2011 ABOUT MARCH 2011 SOMETIMES WHEN IT IS STARTED (NO SPECIFIC START TIME) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON (NOT ALWAYS) AND THE CAR WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS NOT A ALL THE TIME PROBLEM, AND I CANNOT FIND A REASON WHY SOME DAYS IT DOES THIS AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T. ALSO SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. . ALSO SOMETIMES THE WIPERS STOP IN MID SWIPE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE STAYS ON EMPTY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY. I FOUND COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER SITES.

THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM SUVS FROM 2005 -2007. THE NHTSA HAS GOTTEN 668 COMPLAINTS. GM AGREES TO PAY 1/2 THE FEE TO FIX IT. MY HALF WAS $194. THE DEALER STATED THEY WILL NOT PAID 100% BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOLD THEM -"TRY RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE ENTRY RAMP TO THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE AND SEE HOW SAFE IT IS". GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM . *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE LOW FUEL LEVEL LIGHT HAS COME ON, AND THE TANK WAS FILLED WITHIN 25 MILES. RESEARCHING, I FIND THIS IS A CURRENT ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY ALMOST ALL THE TIME, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW CORRECTLY AT ALL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN TANK IS FILLED, THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT IS ON. WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL BEGINS TO DECREASE BELOW THE FULL LEVEL FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN THE COMPLETELY FULL MARK AND THE EMPTY MARK. THIS FLUCTUATION CAN OCCUR DURING A TRIP THAT IS LESS THAN A FEW MILES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IT'S SEEMS CRAZY TO ME THAT THIS AGENCY THAT WAS CREATED TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM FAULTY VEHICLES CAN LET SO MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER THAT WAS BAILED OUT BY TAXPAYERS MONEY CAN BE SO BLIND TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON GMC PART. I HAVE SPENT COUNT LESS HOURS AND WAY TOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE LITERALLY SAT DOWN AND CRIED VOWING NEVER TO BY ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE PIECES OF JUNK (AND THAT IS PUTTING IT NICELY). I HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND ALL THAT GOES WITH THAT; THE CATALYST CONVERTER TWICE; THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND NOW MY RADIO DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THERE IS A SHORT THAT IS DRAINING THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF; THE SPEED CONTROL (MPH/RPM) DOESN'T WORK AND I ONLY PRAY THAT I'M NOT SPEEDING WHILE I'M DRIVING; THE REAR WIPER BLADE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT; MY CAR INTERIOR CONSTANTLY SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE AND WHEN I'M FILLING UP MY TANK IT THERE IS ALWAYS SPILLAGE; MY SES LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON AND SINCE MY STATE PRACTICES EMISSION CONTROL I HOLD MY BREATH AND PRAY THAT I PASS THE TEST SO I CAN LEGALLY DRIVE MY CAR. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I FACE WITH THIS CAR AND FRANKLY THIS YEAR I'M NOT WORKING SO COMING UP WITH THE MONEY TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE A MECHANIC REMOVE THE SES LIGHT SO I CAN GO HAVE THE EMISSION TESTING PERFORMED IS RIDICULOUS AND DRAINING A WALLET THAT IS VERY MUCH EMPTY. MY CAR NOW HAS MORE MILEAGE & I HAVEN'T HEARD MY RADIO IN OVER 2 YEARS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG SO THEY JUST DISCONNECTED IT. WHY HAVEN'T THE NHTSA/DOT REQUIRED GMC TO FIX WHAT THEY KNOW IS BROKEN AND A HAZARD ON THE ROADS? I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES CONTROL AND PEOPLE LIVES ARE LOST. DON'T LET THIS BECOME ANOTHER TOYOTA ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NEARLY 2 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE ACTING UP. I'D FILL THE TANK, AND WITHIN A MILE OR 2, THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO E, AND THE LIGHT WILL COME ON, BELL WILL SOUND. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, THE GAUGE IS SHOWING 1/2 FULL, THEN EMPTY, THEN 1/4 FULL. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL OR ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM A ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS SEVERE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRIED TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING AND DISCOVERED THE FAN DID NOT WORK. AFTER QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND AN EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSIS, WAS INFORMED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR WAS BURNED OUT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON, FREQUENT, AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM IF DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE SEVERAL POTENTIAL HAZARDS TO FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WHICH INCLUDE; THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE CAUSED BY THE HEATED & MELTED WIRE, LOSS OF AIR CONDITIONING IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY WHICH MAY CAUSE HEAT STROKE OR WORSE, AND LOSS OF HEAT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY WITHOUT THE WINDOWS ICING OVER AND INHIBITING VISION. A RECALL IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEMS WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR IS NECESSARY. MECHANIC STATES THAT BOTH CHEVROLET AND GMC MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2004 TO 2007 ARE BEING REPAIRED WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HE HAS REPAIRED 5 VEHICLES THIS MONTH IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA. MECHANIC ALSO STATES THAT MILEAGE IS NOT THE ISSUE AS HE HAS SEEN LOW MILEAGE GMC AND CHEVROLETS COME IN FOR REPAIRS WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS VERY EXPENSIVE SAFETY/ HEALTH ISSUE AS A VEHICLE RECALL.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
