NHTSA complaint #11316836, filed 2020-03, 127,000 miles“When filling the fuel tank with fuel the pump constantly shuts off due to pressure in the fuel tank not being released. Took this in to the Gmc dealership and had the fuel tank and various component replaced under warranty. The problem did not go away. It does not matter what gas station I fill up at either. It can take up to 20 minutes to fill up the fuel tank due to the pump constantly shutting off due to the pressure in the fuel tank not being released. Gm dealership says there is nothing they can do for me at this point. …”
NHTSA complaint #10668450, filed 2014-12, 40,000 miles“Takata recall -I found no record of recall but passenger airbag warning light is on as well as cracks on the dashboard around where the airbags would deploy. Heated seats malfunction and turn on and are unable to be turned off. Fuel tank mileage to empty unreliable. Gauge can be at quarter tank and say 50 miles to empty and stall due to being out of gas. Gas gauge issue changes while driving...on road trips the gas gauge will suddenly change and say there is more gas in it than there actually is.”
