Example complaints

Brakes: “When coming to a full stop in light to moderate 35 to 40 mile an hour traffic zones , usually when making a right hand turn, the brake pedal would over travel almost to the floor, their would be a loud scrubbing sound. This happened a few years ago, and I took my van to three separate GM authorized dealers/ repair shops on three separate occasions and they told me that their was nothing wrong with my brakes. This was vary frustrating. So I took it to a local shop and they discovered that the right rear parking brake was activated and would not release. …”

Electrical system: “The contact owns a 2000 Gmc SAVANA 1500. The contact stated that the speedometer sticks and displays inaccurate speeds.

The failure has occurred intermittently for years and the vehicle was never taken to the dealer. Through research, the contact recently found numerous complaints for the same failure. He called the manufacturer and was informed that they were only repairing the 2003 and 2004 models, but no recall had been issued. …”

Steering: “2000 Gmc savana van with conversion package. Power steering completely failed. I found a recall notice on the NHTSA site, called Gmc and was told there was no recall. After I told the operator the recall number she then found a customer satisfaction safety campaign . I was not notified of this serious safety hazard with my vehicle. My 17 year old daughter was driving the vehicle when the power steering failed. Luckily, she was able to park the car without incident. This is a large heavy car it is almost impossible to steer w/o the power steering. …”
