ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET IN MAINE, I FIRST NOTICED MY FRONT, DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW GOING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN. THEN, WHITE SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM THE POWER WINDOW CONTROLS. I PULLED INTO A NEARBY DRIVEWAY TO PULL THE FUSE, BUT IT MUST HAVE BLOWN ON ITS OWN BECAUSE THE WINDOW CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR REPLACEMENT WAS MORE THAN $500. OUCH! I'M JUST GLAD THE ENTIRE CAR DIDN'T BURST INTO FLAMES. *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

IT MAY OR MAY NOT ADJUST WHILE DRIVING. 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 DEATHLY AFRAID THAT I WILL RUN OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM A LITTLE ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY, MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT THEY HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE, WOULD PAY HALF TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY FUEL SENSOR GAUGE IS FLOATING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR EMISSION COMES ON WHEN THE FLOAT STARTS. WHY MUST I PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECT ON THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINT ARE ANYTHING TO GO BY?! *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT STARTED MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND NOW GOES TO EMPTY UPON FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE MORE YOU DRIVE THE MORE FUEL IT READS. THE GAUGE FLOATS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND VEHICLE HAS NOW RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. GM WAS CONTACTED AND EXPLAINED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND AT FIRST OFFERED NO HELP. UPON TALKING TO SEVERAL 'MANAGERS' THEY AGREED TO COVER 50% BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE COST IS STILL OVER $250 FOR THE REPAIR. WHY DOES THE OWNER HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF A KNOWN PROBLEM PART? WHY IS GM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? *TR

AT 38,000 MILES ON THE MY SUV MY GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, AND RAN OUT OF GAS TWO TIMES. I'VE HAD TO KEEP AN EYE ON HOW MANY MILES I DRIVE AND FILL IT UP EVERY 250-300 MILES. ALSO I'VE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES MY BRAKE PEDAL STALLS FOR A QUICK SECOND. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PROBLEM IT HAS IN ITS EARLY YEARS AND TO FIND OUT THE THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND GM WONT ISSUE A RECALL ON THERE VEHICLES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU STILL HAVE IN THE TANK. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAGE HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON ALL YEAR. NOW IS SITS ON EMPTY A LOT. THE BELL GOES OFF TO REMIND ME IT IS EMPTY OFTEN, WHEN THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I HAVE TO USE MY ODOMETER TO KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GMC ON THIS. SAID SENSOR WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $500 TO REPAIR. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. THEN I GET THIS LETTER INDICATING THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAGE IN ENVOYS; AND THEY STILL WANT ME TO PAY $250 FOR HALF OF THEIR PROBLEM. SOUNDS A LITTLE ONE SIDED TO ME. MOST COMPANIES OFFER TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE, AND CERTAINLY NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CUSTOMER. SEEMS TO ME THAT GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICES WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO. SURELY TO GOODNESS THE PRESIDENT OF GMC WOULD HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THAT TOO MANY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT DROP OF SALES. . *TR
