TRACTION DID NOT KICK ON OR ABS LEADING ME OUT TO M-24 FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD GETTING HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER BY A CHEVY TRACKER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND TALKING WITH ASE TECH'S.

WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN.HAD NO CONTROL OF BRAKES, STEERING .LUCKY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT .THIS IS THE SECOND 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SAW UNDERNEATH VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FLUID. CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID, WAS LOW SO ADDED MORE AND BABIED VEHICLE HOME. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING UNDERNEATH VEHICLE, FOUND A CRACK IN A LINE THAT GOES TO THE RACK AND PINION. REPLACED THE LINE FOR $200. BEGAN TO DRIVE VEHICLE AGAIN, VEHICLE WAS ACTING NORMALLY. THEN, 3 WEEKS LATER SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. WAS DRIVING, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE EXACT SAME SPOT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEGUN TO CUT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES, THEN COME BACK ON. IF NOT FOR MY FOG LIGHTS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. *TR

BOTH HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY. REPLACED RELAY WHICH FIXED PROBLEM. BOTH HEADLIGHTS AGAIN STOPPED WORKING SEPTEMBER 2014. BRIGHTS WORK BUT NOT LOW BEAM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65MPH DOWN I-35 IN AUSTIN, TEXAS AND SUDDENLY MY CAR DROPPED TO ABOUT 40MPG AND THE "STABILITRAK OFF" MESSAGE APPEARED. A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD HAVE, AND ALMOST DID, REAR-END ME. I HAD TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN MY CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. RESTARTED AND MADE IT HOME OK. TODAY, AUGUST 28, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN.. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS. I'M SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MAJOR INCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

LEAVING A RESTAURANT I WAS UNABLE TO PLACE MY CAR IN REVERSE OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY GEARS. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SHOWED ME A LITTLE PLASTIC PEACE THAT BROKE AND ADVISED ME IT WAS THE SHIFT LINKAGE. I REVIEWED THE INFORMATION AND WAS AMAZED TO FIND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE TO BREAK IN THE CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SHIFT LINKAGE IS NOT ONE OF MANY RECALLS WITH GMC AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO PLACE YOUR CAR IN PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL OR ANY GEARS. I AM A VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER AND WOULD LIKE FOR GMC TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A HEFTY FEE FOR A CHEAP PLASTIC PART THAT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT, INJURY AND OR DEATH. *TR

TO START OFF, WHEN YOU GO IN DRIVE AND START TO MOVE THE TRUCK LOST POWER TO THE MOTOR BUT STILL STAYED RUNNING. SEEMED LIKE THE TRUCK DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WANTED TO BE IN 4X4 OR 2 WHEEL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF GAS AND MIN LATER IT WAS FINE. KEEPS HAPPENING . THE DRIVER SEAT BACK SUPPORT FELT LIKE IT STARTED TO OVER HEAT THE MOTOR ON IT, NOW NOT WORKING AT ALL. AND SOMETIMES AS I USE MY BRAKES AND COME TO A STOP EASY IT FEELS LIKE I LOST BRAKES AS IF ABS KEEPS GOING NUTS. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE STATED THAT I HAD 300 MILES TILL EMPTY. WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY. I STOPPED AND TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES BUT THE MILEAGE AND GAS HAND WENT BACK UP TO WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. THIS MORNING I FILLED THE TANK UP AND NOW THE COMPUTER IS READING LOW FUEL AND THE GAS HAND IS BELOW THE RED LINE. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. *TR

ONE EVENING I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND MY INSIDE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE SWITCH BUT IT WAS ON AUTO. I TURNED IT OFF BUT THE LIGHTS STAYED ON. THEY WERE STILL ON WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED TURNED OFF THE IGNITION THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR COULDN'T START BECAUSE IT HAD RAN MY BATTERY DOWN. ANOTHER INCIDENT WAS MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE. MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON LIKE I AM OUT OF GAS. THE LAST TIME I FILL MY CAR UP WITH GAS IT HESITATED. IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. THE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN MY CAR IS FULL OF GAS. I SMELL GAS. I SAT AT THE GAS STATION FOR AN OUR BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START. THE SOUND OF MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT. MY LIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN NOT DRIVING. ONE MORNING I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK, WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE SWITCH WAS OFF. I COULDN'T GET THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN I GOT TO WORK. THEY STAYED ON AT LEAST FOR 4 HRS. SOMETIME THE LIGHTS DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I PUT THEM ON. I REALLY HAVE SOME WEIRD THINGS GO ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I DID GET THE MODULE CHANGED AND THEY DID SOME RE-WIRING IN THE DOOR. ONE YEAR BEFORE THE MODULE, I GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CAR FOR A SHORT AND I WAS TOLD FROM THEM THAT MY WIRES WERE OVER HEATED. I PAID ABOUT $900 TO FIX IT. I STRONGLY THINK IT IS A DETECT SOME WHERES OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE MY WIRES TO OVER HEAT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT ABOUT 11PM, GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, MY HEADLIGHT JUST WENT OUT. I TURNED THE CONTROL SWITCH ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECK TO SEE IF MY OTHER LIGHTS WERE WORKING (BLINKERS, FLOOD LIGHTS, BRIGHTS) AND THEY WERE. MY HEADLIGHTS HOWEVER WEREN'T. I TRIED TURNING THE TRUCK ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. AFTER SITTING THERE WITH THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THEY CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME IN FEAR THAT I COULDN'T FINISH MY TRIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT, MY LIGHT GO OUT ON A DAILY BASIS AND AT RANDOM. THEY HAVE GONE OUT WHILE MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AS WELL AS WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AND AFTER THEM HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 9 HOURS, THEY TOLD ME THEY WORKED THE WHOLE TIME WHILE THEY HAD IT (GO FIGURE). I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK IN THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO SHOW TO THEM THAT MY SWITCH WAS REGISTERING MY HEADLIGHTS AS BEING ON WHEN THEY WEREN'T. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO AND THAT I JUST NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED. HARD TO DO WHEN NO ONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I AM LIMITED WHEN I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES -8/2012, 2/2013, 3/2014 - SO I AM ON THE 4TH IGNITION SWITCH IN THIS CAR, MILEAGE NOW APPROX 108,000. THE 4X4, STABILITRAK, ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON THEN IT BEEPS REPEATEDLY. SOMETIMES CONCURRENTLY, SOMETIMES NOT THE AIR BLOWER STOPS WORKING AS WELL. THIS 3RD TIME, AFTER THE LIGHTS HAD BEEN COMING OFF/ON FOR A FEW DAYS, TURNING THE BLOWER ON WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. FOR EACH OF THE 3 TIMES, THE GMC DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH (2X AT MY COST) ON THE MOST RECENT REPAIR A VOLTAGE SPIKE WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BUT THE OPTION TO TRACK THIS BY INSTALLING INLINE FUSES WAS NOT EVEN OFFERED UNTIL I HAD TAKEN MY ISSUE TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY. I DECLINED AS I DON'T CARE TO PUT MORE MONEY IN A CAR THAT EVEN ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS EMPLOYEES RECOMMENDED I JUST SELL AND BUY NEW. MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO ME AND OTHERS? THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID WHEN THIS OCCURS THE IGNITION IS ESSENTIALLY OFF AND THE CAR COULD STOP BUT ANOTHER PERSON TOLD ME THAT NO, IT'S ANOTHER LEG OF THE IGNITION AND ITS OKAY. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE. ....UPDATED 08/12/14 *BF UPDATED 11/12/2014 *JS UPDATED 8/28/2017*CN

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY READ EMPTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE, THEN THE PANEL SAID LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY PASSING LANE ALMOST CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AS I COULD NOT TELL MY FUEL LEVEL.
