Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Trouble starting: turn key, vehicle turns over fine,than shuts off. Been to dealer six times they can not find any problems. At first they (dealer) thought it was the key. Issued new key oem. Still problem exsisted.what we do now we flip the key and try to start vehicle and sometimes it will start.this problem does not always happen but when it does it's frustrating. The most recent problem happened before the new year 2004. But this time it was being driven.the loss of all power is scary but able to restart vehicle. Gmc why can't you figure this problem out.”
