Example complaints

Suspension: “On july 2003 dealership replaced the upper and lower ball joints. Eight moths later, independent mechanic determined the need to replace the upper and lower ball joints again.”

NHTSA complaint #10061657, filed 2004-03

Transmission and drivetrain: “The problem started over five weeks ago. The car would not start once I put it in park. I've had the park neutral sensor switched changed and every time it happens which is after the forth or fifth time I put it in park. I've had the called towed over 10 times and my insurance has been canceled because of it. The dealership just keep tightening the gear shift but as I said when I drive it, it loosen up and the same thing happens. I think it doesn't start because the security systems kicks in when I try to put the car in gear.”

NHTSA complaint #10398613, filed 2011-05, 107,041 miles

Engine cooling: “Oil leak is found on all Gmc envoys, cost for replace in seals, $300. Also bushings on doors go bad causing doors to fail to close. Cost to replace bushings $125 plus labor. Which can be a safety problem. I have 30,000 miles with oil leak and both door bushings gone bad on the driver and passenger door. Time of problem is when dealership notified me of the problem.”
