VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
WE PURCHASED A USED 2000 GMC AND WITHIN A MONTH EXPERIENCED EXPERIENCED THROTTLE STICKING CLOSED SO SEVERE YOU COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. THEN IF YOU APPLIED A LOT OF PRESSURE IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD. WE TOOK IT IN AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO A LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS WARPED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION WHY IT WOULD HAVE BECOME WARPED. WE PAID 643.00. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE MY WIFE WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS AND CAME ACROSS A REFERENCE TO A TSB SO WE CHECKED OUT NHTSA AND UNDER DEFECTS WAS LISTED THE INVESTIGATION THAT IS STILL OPEN ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY( EA02-015) . WE WERE VERY UPSET AND TOOK IN COPIES OF THE TSB AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. ON OUR RECEIPT WAS LISTED ANOTHER TSB #00-06-04-007B AS TO WHY THEY REPLACED IT. BUT WITH A CHARGE. WE FELT THEY SHOULD HAD DISCLOSED THIS PROBLEM AND THAT ODI WAS INVESTIGATING IT . THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD CALL GMC AND WE RECEIVED A CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT GMC WOULD BE SENDING US A CHECK FOR 400 TO COVER THE PART. THAT SEEMS FAIR BUT WE DEFINATELY FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HAD WE NOT BEEN OLDER DRIVERS AND VERY CAUTIOUS WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT COULD HAVE STUCK OPEN AS WELL AS CLOSED. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE GAS PEDAL STICKS REGULARLY. IT STICKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A STAND STILL. IT IS VERY HARD TO PRESS THE PEDAL AT TIMES. WHEN I DO PUSH THE PEDAL IT TAKES A LOT OF PRESSURE TO GET IT PUSHED IN AND THE VEHICLE THEN DARTS FORWARD VERY QUICKLY. WHEN IN A TIGHT SPACE THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL IT. 8NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HAD TALKED TO DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES COMPLAINING OF ENGINE KNOCK ON START UP. BOTH SERVICE ADVISORS TOLD ME THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GET THE PROBLEM DOCUMENTED AN TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK OF IT. THEY INFORMED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GIVE MY SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER (1-64044981) AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ME PICK THE VEHICLE UP AND THEY TOLD ME THE SHOP FOREMAN LISTENED TO MY NOISE ALONG WITH TWO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND ALL MADE THE SAME NOISE. I CALLED GMC BACK TO LET THEM KNOW THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND GOT THE VOICEMAIL BOX OF THE REPRESENITIVE SO I LEFT A MESSAGE TO PLEASE CALL ME BACK. I HAVE NOT RECIEVED A CALL BACK SO I CALLED AND TALKED TO TWO OTHER REPRESENITIVES AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME THEY JUST LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE ORIGINAL REPRESENATIVE THAT I TALKED TO. I GUESS THAT GMC DOES NOT WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT MY COMPLAINT.
