| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY SPEEDOMETER SHOWED MY HUSBAND DOING 60 MPH WHEN IN REALITY HE WAS DOING ABOUT 10. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS FINE. JUST THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN - ONLY THIS TIME IT IS REFLECTING ANYWHERE FROM 80 - 120 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING OR IF YOU ARE STOPPED. SINCE I FIRST REPORTED IT AT THE SECOND OCCURRENCE - AT WHICH I WAS 306 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY - THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME $575 TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER. *JB |
| 2006 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I NOTICED A GASOLINE ODOR COMING FROM MY FUEL TANK AREA, I IMMEDIATELY HAD A MECHANIC INSPECT THE ISSUE AS I WAS FEARING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. UPON INSPECTION HE FOUND THE FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED AND SPEWING FUEL . THE FUMES AND FUEL WERE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND I FEAR THAT I JUST NARROWLY AVERTED DISASTER. FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO ABOUT TO RUST THROUGH AND THE EFFECT OF THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC IN A HIGHWAY OR ANY HARD BRAKING SITUATION THAT COULD INITIATE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO CAUSE THE LINES TO BURST. I AM VERY UPSET THAT GMC HASN'T APPRISED OWNERS OF THIS HAZARDOUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE REPLACED ALL AFFECTED COMPONENTS AND FEEL THAT THIS IS CAUSE FOR A RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM GMC BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT TAKES PLACE DUE TO BLATANT NEGLIGENCE OF THE MANUFACTURER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS MANY PEOPLE HAVE VOICED CONCERN OVER THIS AND GMC HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE. *TR |
