ENVOY 360 SPEEDOMETERS 2004 READS IM GOING 150 MPH ALL THE TIME. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 62,700 MILES. *TR

ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM STARTED AT 110,000 MILES ON 2006 GMC ENVOY SLE AWD AND WAS NOTED ON A DEALERSHIP VISIT. UNFORTUNATELY NOW HAS 150,000 MILES WHEN THE . VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL ON FREEWAY WITH WIFE AND CHILDREN, AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. IT HAS REQUIRED NUMEROUS AAA CALLS FOR FUEL OVER THE PAST YEARS AND HAS CREATED A MANY HOURS OF INCONVENIENCE AND LOST OF WORK. ME AND MY WIFE HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE OVER 15 TIMES DUE TO FAULTY FUEL READINGS. PROBLEM HAS BEEN TOO COSTLY TO REPAIR SO WE HAVE TO NOW RELY ON RESETTING THE TRIP ODOMETER. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN A SAFETY BULLETIN FOR ONLY VEHICLES UP TO 120,000 MILES. THIS IS A FARCE TO THE GMC AND CHEVY OWNER COMMUNITY. IS THE NHTSA WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE MAKING THIS A TOTAL RECALL TO PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR ALL OWNERS OF THESE PRODUCTS? THIS IS A FAILED DESIGN THAT MUST BE CORRECTED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SAKE. PLEASE WORK WITH THE MANUFACTURERS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FAIRLY, EQUITABLE, AND HONESTLY. THANK YOU. AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THOSE WITH THE POWER TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CONSUMERS OF THESE PRODUCTS. THANK YOU AGAIN. *TR

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT GAS GAUGE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE,WAS ON THE EMPTY MARK WITH ABOUT 1/8 TANK GAS LEFT BUT GAUGE READ FULL OR MY GAUGE TO NOT READ CORRECTLY; AFTER FILLING, THE GAUGE WOULD NOT MOVE THE OPPOSITE WOULD OCCUR ALSO; THE GAUGE WOULD SHOW THE TANK WITH MORE GAS THAN WHAT I ACTUALLY HAD. HEY REPLACED THE FLOAT AND STILL NOT WORKING IN FACT IT'S WORSE. *TR

A BLOCK FROM MY DRIVEWAY I REALIZED MY BRAKES WERE GONE. I HAD JUST ENOUGH FLUID REMAINING TO DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS TO A MECHANIC. AFTER CHECKING THE LEAK I WAS ADVISED THAT ALL BRAKE LINES NEEDED REPLACING DUE TO RUST. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN DIFFEREBT CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

FAULTY FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, AS WELL AS A FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS NO FUEL WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP MY 2006 GMC ENVOY. STARTED WITH FILLING UP MY SUV AND AFTER I GOT GAS, THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WITH THE BELL CHIMING LOW FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. IT GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

GMC YUKON XL, FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WE HAVE A YUKON XL AND OUR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE FOR YEARS. SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND THE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS ARE ALL NOT WORKING FOR YEARS. WE HAVE A RISK OF RUNNING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT AND ALL THE OTHER INCONVENIENCES OF THE THE OTHER GAUGES THAT WORK ON AND OFF. PLEASE CHECK ON LINE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A WHOLE INDUSTRY TO FIX THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. THAT IS PROOF ENOUGH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND LOST POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT. VERY STIFF AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME GET ME, AFTER WAITING 20 MINUTES, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE WHEEL WAS FREE TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS OCCURED A SECOND TIME LAST WEEK WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY IT WORKED. THE CAR IS VERY UNSAFE AND I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN GOING A FASTER SPEED. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS NOW AT THE SHOP LOOKING AT THE POWER STEERING MECHANISM THAT IS BAD. IT IS A RECALL AND ALREADY REPLACED AND IS BAD AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR CAN STOP WORKING AT ANYTIME WHICH GIVES YOU NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER LTZ. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS GOING ALL CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON A LOT OF THE VEHICLES. WE AHVE TWO CHILDREN AND HATE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ONCE A MONTH AT FIRST AND NOW IT IS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FLUXUATE SPORADICALLY, WRONG SPEED SHOWING. TOOK TO DEALER, DIAGNOSIS AS COMPONENT FAILURE. GMC ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO RECALL. DEALER WILL REPLACE ODOMETER IF LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. *TR

PONTIAC V6 - 2008 - POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. POWER STEERING ACTUALLY QUIT COMPLETELY A COUPLE TIMES. OTHER TIMES, THE STEERING WHEEL WITH TRY TO TURN BACK AND FORTH BY ITSELF EITHER WHEN DRIVING OR IN PARK. PURCHASED BRAND NEW. HAS RUN WELL UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2010. NO REPORTS OR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FOUND ON VEHICLE. NO RECALLS WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP. *TR

2006 MALIBU MAXX LT. POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE HARD ACCELERATION. HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST DAY IT WAS PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP CANT DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM. WE ALMOST HAD 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE CAR SYSTEM INFORMATION.. THE CAR ALWAYS PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT IF THE ACCELERATION HAS TO BE DONE FAST. THE VEHICLE HAS CURRENTLY 75,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS AND IT READS EMPTY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT IN 2006 , THEY SOLD ME THE VEHICLE THAT THEY USED FOR TEST DRIVING, WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS OUT OF LINE AND THEY STILL MADE ME PURCHASE IT. I BOUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND THEY HAD TO LINE IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. A MONTH LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $1200.00 TO GET IT FIXED UNTIL I NOTIFIED THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND HE MADE THEM FIX IT.THEN THE SECURITY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THAT. I HAVE BEEN SPENDING MONEY ON TIRES ALL THE TIME, SPEND MONEY ON BRAKES ALL THE TIME, HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNITS TO THE RADIO KEEPS GOING OUT, BEARINGS IN THE WHEEL IS GONE, AND IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I GOT A LETTER FOR THE RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING AND WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THEY MESSED UP MY BOOT AND NOW TELLING ME I NEED TO FIX IT WHEN THEY HAD SOMEONE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR 12 MILES. NOW ALL I GET IS A LOT OF DISRESPECT FROMTHEM AND THEY DON'T WANT TO REPAIR WHAT THEY MESSED UP. I ALSO WANTED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR LAST MONTH FOR MY SON WHO GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE AND I HAD TO LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOWS TO SEE VEHICLES INSTEAD OF THE SALESMAN OPENING THE DOOR AND LETTING ME LOOK IN THE INSIDE. MIND YOU I BOUGHT A 16,000.00 CAR FROM THEY AND THAT'S HOW THEY APPRECIATE MY BUSINESS. I AM HEART BROKEN BECAUSE I FEEL AS

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY MALIBU WHEN STARTING VEHICLE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ENGAGES AND THE CONSOLE INDICATOR CHIMES READING POWER STEERING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR NOW. I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN 2 TIMES SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2008. BOTH STEERING COLUMNS WERE GENUINE GM PARTS INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. WORK PERFORMED IN 5/08 AND 10/08 TOTALING SOME $3000.00. PAID ANOTHER DEALER $51.56 TO ADJUST AND CALIBRATE SENSOR. IT WAS OK FOR THE SUMMER. LATE FALL 2009 BEGAN COMING ON INTERMEDIATELY AGAIN. NOW IT COMES ON EACH TIME YOU START THE CAR AND YESTERDAY I ACTUALLY LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I HAD LOST THE POWER ASSIST STEERING A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES NOW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT HERE. *TR

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS USED 2001 SATURN IN 2001. I HAVE PUT 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, STEERING RACK, STABILIZER BAR, FRONT STRUTS, HAD A HEAD GASKET MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED TWO OTHER NEW SATURN'S WITH NO PROBLEMS...I AM ROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. ALSO MY DASH LIGHTS DIMMED WHEN SECURITY LIGHT FLASHED ON AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED ALSO MY TEMP GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE WOULD GO FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND THEN BACK QUICKLY. I HAD TO HAVE A MODULAR REPLACED. AGAIN, I AM SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THIS I HAD TWO INLINE FUEL FILTERS AS THE CAR JUST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING...SPEED WENT DOWN AND DOWN AND NOTHING. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS *TR

WE HAVE TAKEN OUR DAUGHTERS COBALT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT. IT IS PLACING OUR DAUGHTER IS SERIOUS DANGER. WE HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $1000.00 ON THIS ISSUE. IT WENT OUT IN DECEMBER AND WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT WENT OUT AGAIN TODAY. *TR

2007 SATURN ION HAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM WHICH CAUSE THE STEERING TO LOCK AND HARD TO STEER IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED BY PUTTING IN POWER STEERING FLUID, IT DOESN'T WORK THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH. THIS OCCURS AFTER ONLY 33,000 MILES, AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO PUT A NEW MOTOR MODULE AND SWITCH WITH A REPAIR COST OF $997.00. AFTER SURFING THE INTERNET, WE ARE ONE OF MANY WHO ARE EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM. I ASK IF A DEATH HAS TO OCCUR IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BECOME A RECALL VEHICLE. INCIDENTALLY, MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS UNDER THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPEN TO OUR CAR. PLEASE DO NOT LET A DEATH HAPPEN TO HAVE A RECALL. I WILL CONTINUE WRITING MY CONGRESSMAN, SENATOR AND WHO EVER WILL LISTEN. DURING MY FIRST COMPLAINT TO THE GM COMPANY, I HAD SPOKEN TO SOMEONE IN CANADA A SALES SPECIALIST WHO INFORM ME THAT ITS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT AND HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF EVEN AWARE OF THE VEHICLE MAKE OR MODEL. IF ANYONE GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, WE WILL TAKE EVERY LEGAL MATTER NECESSARY. ALSO, AFTER HAVING THE REPAIRS TAKEN CARE OF WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WEEK. ANOTHER NE POWER STEERING MODULE AND MOTOR HAD TO BE PUT BACK ON AGAIN. LOOK AT YOUR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVORLET COBALT WITH APPROXIMATELY 76,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THE MESSAGE DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHES " POWER STEERING" AND THE CAR BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY TIGHT. IF I CYCLE POWER THE PROBLEM RESETS BUT RECURS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR

HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY BURN OUT. REPLACE EVERY MONTH! JUST REPLACED ON 2 DAYS AGO AND ALREADY OUT AGAIN! SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. *TR

LEAK PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR WHEN HEAVY RAIN ON HHR 2006. *TR

MY NAME IS CRYSTAL MARIE TORRES, AND I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND IT'S BARELY GOING TO BE 2 YEARS IN DECEMBER THAT I'VE PURCHASED IT! THE POWER STEERING IS ALREADY GOING OUT AND THE LIGHT APPEARS. I DON'T BELIEVE IF I'M PAYING FOR PRACTICALLY A NEW VEHICLE IT SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS SO SOON. I'VE ALWAYS DONE MY BEST TO TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE, SO WHY IS THE POWER STEERING FAILING!!! I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION WITH OTHER COBALT CUSTOMERS, THEY TOO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE LAWSUITS GOING INTO ACTION FOR FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ON SUCH A GREAT CAR! NOT FAIR TO THE PUBLIC WHO HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT LOYAL CUSTOMERS!!! HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SOON!!! HERE IS THE SIGHT WHERE OTHERS ARE POSTING THEIR ISSUES WITH THE SAME CONFLICT ON THEIR COBALTS! HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM. *TR

2003 CHEVY SILVERADO - POOR STEERING- I HAVE REPLACED THE GEARING BOX W/FRONT END ALIGNMENT DUE TO HAVING 4 ESTIMATES AND ADVISED THAT THE GEAR BOX WAS DEFECTED. 6 MONTHS LATER - I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY SEVERAL CERTIFIED MECHANICS THAT THE GEAR BOX THAT WAS PUT IN IS ALSO DEFECTED. POOR STEERING CONTROL, TRUCK PULLS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. IF THE STEERING BOXES FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE VEHICLES ARE DEFECTED, WHY NOT COMPENSATE THE OWNERS FOR ALL THE EXPENSES. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THESE PARTS FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE IS IN FACT DEFECTED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS/ACCIDENTS/INJURIES DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THESE ISSUES ARE ACKNOWLEDGED? I HAVE SPENT OVER $1,500.00 JUST IN THE BRAKING AND STEERING REPAIRS AND YET FACED AGAIN WITH MORE COST OR EITHER GET RID OF MY TRUCK THAT I HAD FOR 1 YEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 07 CHEVY COBALT AND I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY WHEN MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAN ON AND AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL IT LOCKED UP. I WAS VERY AFRAID DO TO THE FACT THAT MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT I COULDN'T STAY ON THE EWAY. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP THE WHEEL LOOSENED UP BUT SURE ENOUGH A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE SAMETHING. I AM SENDING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO TURN A CORNER OR EVEN SWITCH LANES. IN DOING RESEARCH ABOUT THE PART I LOCATED A SITE "TOPIX CHEVY COBALT STEERING FAILURE" WERE THERE IS OVER FIVE HUNDRED POST ABOUT THE SAME THING. BUT YET RECALL ON THIS CAR. WHEN WILL THEY RECALL IT WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED!!!! *TR

VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POP NOISE. STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED AT 35,000 MILES DUE TO A DEFECTIVE STEERING SHAFT. VEHICLE IS NOW AT 70,000 MILES AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND WAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER. THEY ADVISED ME A CHEVY DEALER DIAGNOSTIC WAS REQUIRED. CHEVY DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED STEERING SHAFT AGAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER HEAD OFFICE DENIED MY REQUEST. A STEERING SHAFT ALMOST NEVER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN A VEHICLE, SINCE THE TIME OF MY REPLACEMENT AT 35,000 MILES ALTERATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THEIR REPLACEMENTS. THIS WOULD INDICATE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2004 USED FROM SATURN OF FAYETTEVILLE NC. IN FEBRUARY OF 2006 WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO FIND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAD A USED ENGINE PUT IN MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY LASTED ME JUST OVER A YEAR AND COST ME OVER 1,800.00. IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY VEHICLE TO FIND IT WOULD NOT START, THINKING THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD I REPLACED IT, IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THINKING IT MIGHT BE THE SPARK PLUGS THEY WERE REPLACED AS WELL. FRUSTRATED I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE PLACE THAT REPLACED THE FIRST ENGINE AND AGAIN TO MY SURPRISE GUESS WHAT BAD TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 4 YEARS STILL OWING ON THIS VEHICLE I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. I HAVE CALLED SATURN AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM. *TR

JUNE 2006 THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I WAS TOWED TO THE GARAGE WE NORMALLY USE FOR MAINTENANCE. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WE DID NOT PURSUE THIS UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE - BIG MISTAKE! IN JANUARY 2009 THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND AGAIN WE STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS TIME IT WAS THE FUEL GAUGE. THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AS THIS WAS JUST FOR ONE YEAR. WE WERE ADVISED TO USE THE TRIP MILEAGE TO FILL FUEL TANK. WE HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES BOTH AT APPROXIMATELY 30MTHS. *TR

AUGUST 2008 - FAN CLUTCH FAILURE, $800 DEALERSHIP CHARGE TO FIX OCTOBER 2008 - BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE, NO HEAT OR AIR ON SPEEDS 1, 2 & 4, ONLY ON SETTINGS 3 & 5, NOT SURE IF IT IS BLOWER MOTOR OR SWITCH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 GMC JIMMY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE CAME AROUND A CORNER AND HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, WHEN SHE HIT THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND SHE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. AFTER THE INCIDENT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND THE STEM THAT COMES OFF THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BROKEN OFF. HE CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND THE AGENT AGREED WITH HIM THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE OFF. MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED SEVERELY AND IF THIS PART DID NOT BREAK AND THE PARTS WORKED CORRECTLY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. *TR

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007 I HAD NOTICED POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS MY STEERING SHAFT. THAT ALL WAS NEED WAS A LUBE JOB. JUST RECENT IN AGAINST OF 2008 SAME PROBLEM SAME FIX. THIS RECURRING PROBLEM HAS ME WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

THANKS TO A FRIEND WHO HAD INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS WEBSITE I HAVE LEARNED SOME NEW AND INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT MY CAR. I HAVE ALSO DECIDE TO SHARE WITH YOU AN ACCIDENT WITH YOU THAT NOW I AM NOT SO SURE WAS AN ACCIDENT BUT YET A POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF MY CAR. IN DEC. OF 2007 I WAS IN A PASSENGER SIDE IMPACT. MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM NEVER CAME ON. WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON MIGHT OF BEEN BECAUSE IT WAS SNOW AND ICE NOT RAIN. WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW MY CAR THE BACK TIRES SLIDE SHIFTING MY CAR SIDE WAYS INTO OTHER LANE. MY CAR WAS THEN FIXED BY TOM GILL CHEVROLET AND SENT BACK TO ME. ONE WEEK LATER I HAD A FRIEND RIDE WITH ME AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT MY SEAT BELT HAD BEEN BROKEN. IT WAS TAKEN BACK AND FIXED. *TR

SPEED SENSOR WENT BAD AT 45,000 MILES ON A 2005 IMPALA. REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND IT CAUSED THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL TO BE IN-OPERABLE AND NEED TO REPLACE THAT. WIPERS ALSO PARK IN UPRIGHT POSITION. NO DEFECT CODES FOUND. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU ON AUGUST 10, 2004. THE MILEAGE WAS 45,281. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD 2 PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. 1.GM DEX-COOL/INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. 2.ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER CAR HAS BEEN STOPPED, THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART AGAIN. WITH REGARD TO ITEM NUMBER 1 ABOVE, I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING. WITH REGARD TO ITEM NUMBER 2 ABOVE, THESE ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONCERNING MY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM. FROM AUGUST TO OCTOBER 2006 I HAD TO TOW MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF MY CAR NOT STARTING. IT WAS TOWED 4 TIMES, THE FIRST 3 TIMES AND ALL THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE CHARGED. ON THE LAST TIME, OCTOBER 13, 2006 THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEIR ?EDUCATED GUESS? WAS THE NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER SWITCH AND IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FOR WHICH THEY CHARGED ME FOR A STARTER SWITCH - $96.15, AN IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER - $154.79, RECODE THE LOCK CYLINDER - $15.00, AND $46.00 TO CORRECT THE PASS LOCK SENSOR DATA, PLUS A $10.00 ENVIRONMENTAL DISPOSAL FEE. MY SON LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SAME MODEL CAR. IT APPEARS QUITE A FEW OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ANTI-THEFT PROBLEM FIX WAS TO ALLOW THE CAR TO SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, AND IT WORKED, SOMETIMES AFTER 2-3 ATTEMPTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALSO SAID TO TRY THE SAME FIX PROCEDURE, IT MIGHT WORK. IT APPEARS THAT GENERAL MOT

HAZARD LIGHTING SYSTEM, BLINKERS, CRUISE CONTROL ALL WORKED "GREAT" UP UNTIL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPLACEMENT PART. I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND THE PART REPLACED, EVER SINCE THEN THEY SHORTED OUT WHEN USING MY BLINKERS OR CRUISE. WHEN MY BLINKER WAS GOING AND JUST STOPPED..I HAVE TO PUSH THE HAZARD BUTTON IN AND OUT AND THEY START WORKING AGAIN. I SEVERAL TIMES TOOK CAR BACK AND DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET IT TO MALFUNCTION, UNTIL FINALLY THEY TOLD ME TIME HAD EXPIRED FOR FIXING, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HISTORY OF REPEATEDLY BRINGING IN VEHICLE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY PERFECT CAR UNTIL, I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. *TR

SECOND INCIDENT WITH FAULTY ABS MODULE. THE DEALER CHARGED OVER $2000 TO FIX IN 2005 AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATES THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY GM IS PUTTING DEFECTIVE PARTS IN CARS CONTINUOUSLY AND OVERCHARGING CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

2007 TAHOE NEW JUST OFF THE LOT HAD A SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 70 MPH, DIDN'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE OUTFITTED WITH AFTERMARKET RIMS AND TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE FACTORY TIRES PROBABLY HAD A FLAT SPOT FROM SITTING ON THE LOT. WITH THE NEW AFTERMARKET WHEELS THE STEERING WHEEL STILL HAD THE SHAKE AND A VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH STILL REMAIN AND THE TIRES HAVE FEATHERED AND CUPPED. THEY ROTATED THE REARS TO THE FRONT AND THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO FEATHER. THE VEHICLE HAS 15000 MILES AND GOING INTO IT'S 12TH MONTH WITH NO RESOLVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER THAT RECENTLY HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I FEEL THAT A RECALL ITEM SHOULD COVER COST OF THE REPAIR. THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IN A NUTSHELL, THE SYMPTOMS THAT THE CAR HAD ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THOSE MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 01V364000. BOTH REAR, OUTSIDE STOPLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE CENTER STOP AND THE TURN SIGNALS WORKED FINE. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AT A COST OF $470.29. ON THE INVOICE THE ITEM REPLACED IS A MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH? *TR

I ACCELERATED ONTO THE FREEWAY TO CATCH UP WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON. WHEN I HIT TOP SPEED IN THE 3RD LANE NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AT 65-70MPH, THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK MAKING MY VEHICLE TRAVEL AT 80-90MPH ON ITS OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TOOK THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. I WAS BLOCKING THE EXIT WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY A FEW GOOD SAMARITANS HELP ME PUSH MY VEHICLE TO SAFETY. I USED ONSTAR TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THUS BEING A SUNDAY, ALL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WERE CLOSED. MONDAY MORNING 8/20/07 I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT THE ACCIDENT AND IT WASN'T UNTIL 8/21/07 TUESDAY I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER AND AM VERY UPSET THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MAIL OR BY PHONE CALL BY GMC. I AM VERY SHAKEN UP AND TRAUMATIZED ABOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL AND VERY THANKFUL THAT THE WORST DIDN'T HAPPEN. *TR
