| 2000 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL | ENGINE CHECK LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE DEALER REPORTED AN ASSIGNED REASON FOR THE FAILURE EACH TIME. THEN ON THE LAST OCCURRECE THEY DID NOT EVEN TROUBLE-SHOOT THE FAILURE. INSTEAD THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PROM FOR THE ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS MY FUEL ECONOMY WENT FOR 12-14 MPG TO 8-9 MPG, THE ENGINE IDLE IS ROUGH (SOMETIMES ALMOST STALLS) AND ON OCCASION THERE IS A FUEL SMELL. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE ITEMS THE DEALER "CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG" GMC HAS REFUSED ALL MY ATTEMPS TO HAVE A REGIONAL SUPPORT MANAGER CONTACT ME. IN ADDITION TO THIS THE FUEL PUMP HAS MADE A LOUD BUZZING NOISE ( YOU CAN HEAR INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITH THE WINDOWS UP). THE DEALER SAID THIS WAS "NORMAL".*AK |

MY VEHICLE LOST ALL SPEED CONTROL, DECELERATING FROM 65 MPH TO 20 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT MY TRUCK OFF. ONCE I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND MY TRUCK WAS FINE. IT WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT NOT BEING ABLE KEEP THE RIGHT SPEED FOR THE CONDITIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR |
