Example complaints
Brakes: “Rusty brake lines lost brakes, think that a vehical should go 10 years without brake lines rusting away I was lucky when they broke I was home but just got back from another state and was at highway speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #10849684, filed 2016-03, 129,000 milesFuel system: “I was driving at 55 miles per hour and the truck just stopped running. There was no warning. I had to pull over fast to avoid an accident. The truck only has 40,000 miles on it. The dealership says that it is a fuel cell and that it is not covered under my 100,000 mile warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10314107, filed 2010-02, 40,000 milesElectrical system: “Engine shuts down, service brake system message appears in display, ABS light illuminates. Since engine shuts down, lose steering and braking. Latest incident occured on highway during rush hour. This also happened first year I owned the vehicle (I bought it new), they replaced the underhood fuse box. This happened again on march 13. They replaced a blown PCM fuse and said they could find nothing wrong. When it occured on 3/29, I replaced the fuse 5 times to try and get off the freeway. After each time it was replaced, I could drive 1-2 miles before it would blow again.”
NHTSA complaint #10323063, filed 2010-03, 33,800 milesEngine cooling: “Why is GM recall 14121 limited to new vehicles? It has been a recurrent, common problem since long before 2000. Long before I bought my 2007 Gmc Sierra Classic 2500hd which is on the third repair. I just replaced a transmission cooler line in my driveway. Today. Which is steadily eroding by way of continuous transmission cooler leaks. It continuously coats the underside of vehicle, reducing life of belts and hoses. Gm dealers feel its not covered by 5/100k powertrain warranty, or 36k bumper-bumper warranty because it's a long time GM problem as well as warranties in general.”
