PARKING BRAKE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, SUSPENSION, SEATS
MY PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT HOLD MY VEHICLE ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST GRADE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. MY ENGINE HAS A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I START IT UP IN THE MORNING. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL PER GMC. MY FRONT PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT BACK MOVES FORWARD AND BACK (WOBBLES). MY REAR END WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A LOUD HUM. THAT WAS MISDIAGNOSED TWICE BY ALFRED MATHEWS. MY FRONT END FEELS LOOSE AND SQUEAKS WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING. REAR LEATHER BUCKET SEATS RATTLE ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AND THE LEATHER HAS RIPPED @ SEAMS TWICE. ALFRED MATHEWS REPLACED ONCE AND TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO FIX SEAT RATTLE. MY NEWEST COMPLAINT IS A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOORS. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****761455

#757253January 23, 2002
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
HORRIBLE ODOR EMITTED THRU VENTILATION SYSTEM. DON'T KNOW IF ASSOCIATED BUT MY FAMILY HAS BEEN ILL WITH ALOT OF RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, WALKING PNEUMONIA (2OUT OF 4) IN SAME WEEK , AND MY 5YR OLD HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY VIOLENT VOMITING. I TOOK YUKON TO MARTIN GMC SAID ODOR WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY EITHER MOLD/FUNGUS IN THE EVAPORATOR & COILS. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG AND NAUSEATING . THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS THRU GMC ON THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILIES HEALTH SINCE I HAVE CHRONIC ASTHMA AND MY CHILDREN HAVE ALLERGIES. THE DEALER IS GOING TO PUT A COATING OF CHEMICALS ON THE EVAPORATOR COILS THAT WILL (KILL?) MOLD AND FUNUS, THEN THEY WILL INSTALL AN ELECTONIC EVAPORATOR DRYER. I HOPE THIS IS GOING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND NOT BE JUST A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE MOLD IS VERY HARD TO ERRADICATE IF YOU DO NOT GET TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM UPSET THAT A NEW CAR CAN HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY HEALTH RISKS DUE TO THIS? THE SMELL IS AWFUL AND STRONG EVEN WITH THE A/C OFF. PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY OTHER POSSIBLE REMEDIES TO THIS PROBLEM. YOU CAN EMAIL ME @ [email protected] .*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
WHILE DRIVING, REAR CARGO DOOR OPENS. DEALERSHIP STATED GAP AT THE TOP OF THE DOORS WAS NOT CAUSING THE PROBLEM; GAP WAS JUST AN ADJUSTMENT. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. ONCE PROBLEM DUPLICATED, PARTS ORDERED INCORRECTLY. AUTO OUT OF STATE FOR 4 MONTHS. RETURNED IN APRIL 2001 AND LATCH REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE DOORS RATTLED/CHATTERED. BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES AND DEALERSHIP FAILURE TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS, GMC CO REP CONTACTED AND ALL ITEMS WERE COMPLETED EXCEPT THE ISSUE RATTLE/CHATTER. CO REP STATED NEW WEATHER STRIPPING. 6 MONTHS OF ADJUSTING, WEATHER STRIPPING AND WAITING ON PARTS THE GAP IS STILL APPARENT AND CAUSING THE RATTLE CHATTER. 11/30/2001 DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE RATTLE/CHATTER IS TO PULL IN ON THE PASSENGER CARGO DOOR AND PUSH OUT ON THE DRIVER CARGO DOOR. INDEPENDENT EXPLAINED THAT UNTIL YOU KNOW WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DOORS, HINGES OR BODY OF THE VEHICLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE DOORS TO STOP RATTLING/CHATTERING. BECAUSE OF TIME RESTRAINTS AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP, PROPOSAL OF EITHER TRADING ME OUT TO A NEW VEHICLE (PAYING $8,150.07 DIFFERENCE) OR BUYING BACK CAR FOR $28,500. NO RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP. 01/03/2002 GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED CO REP SAID NO BUY BACK OF VEHICLE AND THE ONLY THING THE DEALERSHIP WOULD DO IS TO CONTINUE ADJUSTING THE DOORS TO LATCH TIGHTER. I QUESTIONED WHY THAT WOULD BE DONE AND NO ANSWER GIVEN. THIS CAR HAS A MARKETABILITY ISSUE. NO ONE WILL WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT RATTLE/CHATTER DOWN THE ROAD.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
TWO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEIR WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE FAILED. ALSO WITH LOW MILEAGE. THESE ARE SHIELDED BEARINGS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE LUBRICATION. BEARING ON MY TRUCK WAS HALF GONE WHEN THEY REPLACED IT. IT WAS MIS DIAGNOSED BY J.P. THIBODEAUX GMC IN NEW IBERIA, LA. AND CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED BY COURTESY GMC OF LAFAYETTE, LA. I HAD MADE TWO TRIPS TO J.P. THIBODEAUX COMPLAINING ABOUT THE NOISE AND WHEEL LOCKING UP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A WHEEL SENSOR, CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TOLD TO DRIVE TRUCK HOME WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES EACH WAY AT 70 MPH. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW. THESE BEARINGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED BY A QUALITY BEARING.*AK
