2000 GMC JIMMY ENVOY DIAMOND EDITION 4DR 4X4 SUV, FUEL SENDING UNIT AND LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. FUEL GAUGE BOUNCING WHEN AT HALF TANK ( JUST WHAT IS SHOWING ON GAUGE BUT NOT ALWAYS CORRECT IN MEASUREMENT DUE TO INCONSISTENCY) GAS LEAKAGE NOW ALSO. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES DUE TO NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I ACTUALLY HAVE IN TANK. I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO TRAVELS COUNTRY ROADS & HIGHWAY FREQUENTLY & KNOW THIS IS DANGEROUS IF I RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN TRAVELLING AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD A FEW NEAR MISSES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ONLINE FORUMS WHERE THIS MAJOR ISSUE IS ONGOING WITH GM & HAS YET TO BE RECTIFIED BY A RECALL. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. WHILE DRIVING I AM PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER & OTHERS WHO ARE ON THE ROAD INCLUDING ANYONE WHO IS WITH ME IN VEHICLE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES GM NEED BEFORE THIS IS MADE INTO A MANDATORY RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 170,000 KM ON IT . I HAVE OWNED OTHER GM PRODUCTS 2000 & OLDER & NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL & THERE ARE OVER 10;S OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING LIKE THIS FOR A FEW YEARS AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT DUE TO THE OTHER MAJOR ISSUES I HAVE BEEN FIXING WITH THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL . GM DOES NOT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES & MECHANICS KNOW THIS TOO. MY SON IS A TECH & HE SAYS THE SAME .DUE TO THIS MAJOR ISSUE BOTH UNITS & SENSORS NEED REPLACING AS DOES THE TANK STRAP, ALL FUEL LNES,, GASKETS, ECT & POSSIBLY THE GAS TANK ITSELF. THE SENDING UNIT IS IN THE GAS TANK WHICH MAKES IT AT LEAST A 3 HR JOB FOR LABOUR PLUS. POSSIBLY MAY ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER DUE TO THE FLUCTUATIONS & PAY TO HAVE IT RESET BY A GM TECH. I WOULD NOT REPLACE WITH USED PARTS DUE TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE AND THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN ENSUE.

MY 2010 GMC ACADIA SLT ROLLS BACKWARD ON INCLINES EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE. I HAVE DRIVEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES FOR YEARS AND IN MY EXPERIENCE THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ROLL BACKWARD IN DRIVE. IF ANYONE IS BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS THEY COULD VERY WELL BE CRUSHED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR, BUT THIS IS NOT AND THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WILL NOT STOP GROANING ON ANY TURN. REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. WE ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. THE TOTAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH THESE WILL BE WELL OVER $5,000. IT IS EFFECTING THE TURNING PROCESS WHEN I NEED TO TURN THE CAR. ALSO HAVE A RACK AND PINION FAILURE. THE STEERING COLUMN COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND THE TOWING COMPANY HAD TO PUT OIL ALL OVER WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND SLIDE IT UP TO THE CABLE TO TOW THE CAR. ENTIRE STEERING MECHANISM REPLACED BUT NOW THE RACK AND PINION HAS TO BE REPLACED. I THINK IT IS DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN ISSUE. THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 GMC ENVOY SLT, WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM GRAND PRIX AUTO GROUP, HICKSVILLE, NY IN AUGUST 2008. SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR IT STALLED WHILE WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, MAY I MENTION IT NEVER STOPPED STALLING. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER BROKE AGAIN. IT CONSTANTLY SAYS I'M TRAVELING 120 MILES AN HOUR. ONCE AGAIN, BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TELL ME I NEED TO GO TO A GMC DEALER, I DO, THEY REPLACE THE INFORMATION CLUSTER AND SPEEDOMETER, HAD TO PAY A $ 300.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS WAS IN MARCH 2009. DRIVING THE OTHER DAY OCTOBER 2009 AND THE SPEEDOMETER ONCE AGAIN SAYS 120. GET PULLED OVER, GET A TICKET FOR A BROKEN SPEEDOMETER. THE OFFICER WAS AWARE I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THAT SPEED, AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN, WANTED TO HEAR NONE OF IT. SO NOW HERE I AM AGAIN, BROKEN SPEEDOMETER, ENGINE THAT STALLS OFTEN AND A SUMMONS TO BOOT. I NEED HELP AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN THE DEALERSHIPS ARE OF NO HELP. JACQUELINE KING *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT, AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING IT, I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT WOULD GO COMPLETLY OUT AND IN MY INFORMATION CENTER IT WOULD SAY POWER STEERING, THEN OTHER TIMES IT WOULD GET VERY LOOSE TO WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, MIND YOU THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT LONGER. PONTIAC CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK IT UP, THAT THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE, THEREFOR COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. A WEEK LATER IT GOES OUT COMPLETLY AGAIN, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME, I ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. I IMMEDIATLEY PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, I WAS TOLD THAT IF I DIDN'T LIKE THERE SERVICE TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE, SO I DID. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ELCTRONIC SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. NOW AT 9,600 MILES THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AGAIN. *TR
