ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ENGINE KNOCKS LOUDLY AT START-UP AND LAST FOR APROX. 2 MINUTES - DEALER SAID THIS IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE ENGINE ALSO HAS SPARK KNOCK WHEN ACCELERATING AND DEALER ALSO SAYS THIS IS NORMAL - DEALER SAID THIS IS DUE TO CARBON BUILD UP ON RING LANDS AND COULD BE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED BUT WOULD RE-OCCUR WITHIN 10,OOO MILES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 15,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DATE. I CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH ANY TYPE OF ADDITIVE ADVISED BY THE DEALER. DEALER SAID GMC HAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THEY TOLD ME EVEN IF THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE KNOCKING AND PINGING ON ACCELLERATION. THE DEALER CONTACTED GMC TECHNICAL ADVISOR DAN PRATNER CASE # 3970330 AND HE ADVISED THEM THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS ENGINE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE A PERSON CAN PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND BE TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW BEFORE THEY BUY THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT SO THEY DO NOT END UP WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT WILL CAUSE THEM ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE COSTS AND A VERY LOW RESALE VALUE NOT TO SPEAK OF THE EMBARRASSMENT OF HAVING A VEHICLE THAT KNOCKS LOUDLY ON COLD START-UP. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THIS ENGINE KNOCKING WILL DO. IF YOU DO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND FIND THIS TO BE CAUSED BY ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT CAN BE REPAIRED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION), SUSPENSION:FRONT
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THE DEALER LISTED 7 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR A CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK PULLING TO THE LEFT SIDE. IT HAS BEEN ALIGNED NUMEROUS TIMES, TIRES CHANGED, STEERING BOX CONTROLLER REPLACED, SENSORS REPLACED, ETC. WE STILL HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. WE NOW HAVE CONTACTED GMC ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS. SINCE THE TRUCK IS A COMPANY VEHICLE WE CAN NOT GET A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND UNDER THE LEMON LAW. EXCEPT THE APPLIED WARRANTY LAW? WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROBLEM WITH IT PULLING LEFT AND NOW BANGING EVERY SO OFTEN WHEN PUT IN GEAR. WE WERE INFORMED GMC PUT IN A NEW SYSTEM IN ALL THERE PICKUP TRUCKS STEERING ASSY.S THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO ALLOW THE TRUCK TO DRIVE AS SMOOTH AS A CAR. WE FEEL THIS IS THE MAIN COMPONENT THAT KEEPS ACTING UP CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS.IF WE CANT GET THIS TRUCK REPAIRED RIGHT ONCE AND FOR ALL WE ARE GOING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION TO EITHER HAVE THIS TRUCK REPLACED WITH A EVEN TRADE OR FULL REFUND AND DAMAGES WITH POSSIBLE.
