GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2009 BUICK, LUCERNE; CADILLAC DTS; HUMMER H2; MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 BUICK ENCLAVE; CADILLAC CTS; MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT; CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, TAHOE; GMC ACADIA, SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL; SATURN OUTLOOK; AND MODEL YEAR 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM (HWFS). A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

MYSELF AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING ON THE I75 TO CINCINNATTI, OHIO AND MY TRUCK WAS FINE, NO ISSUES, NO PROBLEMS, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HALFWAY THERE THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION SIGNS AND MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE HAD TO HURRY UP AND SWITCH LANES, IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING OVER MYSELF AN OTHERS HIT THIS POTHOLE THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANES THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY BEING WORKED ON ,BUT THERE WERE NO CONES OR ANYTHING AROUND IT. AS SOON AS I HIT IT AND WAS TRYING TO GET OVER MY STABILITRAK AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND MY TRUCK STARTED JERKING REAL BAD, BY THE TIME I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO WHERE I WAS GOING MY ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON TOO AND MY TRUCK WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF , IT STARTED SMOKING AND I STOPPED BY A GAS STATION AND PEOPLE THERE TRIED TO HELP ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS BEST FOR ME TO TRY TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH IS XENIA, OHIO OR I WAS GOING TO GET STUCK IN CINCINNATTI. IT TOOK A COUPLE DAYS FOR ME TO ACTUALLY GET IT IN THE SHOP WHICH IS LANG'S CHEVROLET IN BEVERCREEK, OHIO AND WHEN I TOOK IT THERE NONE OF THE BODY SHOP MEN KNEW WHAT IT WAS, THEN BECAUSE OF THAT THEY SAID WE CAN TAKE THE ENGINE APART BUT YOUR GOING TO BE CHARGED $1500.00 AND IF IT'S NOT THAT THEN I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO DO. NOW BEING THAT YOU ARE A CERTIFIED AUTO MECHANIC ISNT IT YOUR JOB TO KNOW WHAT IT IS? I'M BRINGING MY TRUCK BACK TO WHERE I PAYED CASH FOR IT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. TO ME THAT IS CRAZY AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH IT BEFORE. I'VE TOOK IT TO SEVERAL BODY SHOPS AND HAVE PAYED MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR SOMETHING THAT IT WASNT AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHATS WRONG. SO I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET HAS FAILED ME AND SO HAS GM SINCE THEY OWN THEM NOW. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT THEN WHY SELL THEM? EVERYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM IS BEING IGNORED AND ITS SAD. *JS

THE R/F DOOR HANDLE CAUSED A LACERATION TO THE PASSENGER'S HAND. AN INSPECTION OF THE DOOR HANDLE REVEALED THAT THE CHROME PLATING IS PEELING AT THE MOLD SEEM, RESULTING IN A RAZOR SHARP EDGE ALONG THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE HANDLE. INSPECTION OF THE OTHER DOOR HANDLES REVEALED SIMILAR PEELING THAT CAN CUT ANYONE WHO COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE PEELING METAL PLATING. *JS

FRONT DIFFERENTIAL STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. IT BECAME EVEN LOUDER IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE. WHILE IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED WATER GOT INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL, AND IT HAD TO BE REBUILT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. ALL 3 TIMES, INCLUDING THIS ONE, WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE PINION SEAL. THE FIRST REPAIR ON 11/06/09 WAS COVERED UNDER GMS MANUFACTURERS FACTORY WARRANTY. THE NEXT 2 REPAIRS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, COST ME A TOTAL OF $1,435.49. I CAN ONLY WONDER HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS DRIVING AROUND IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH A DIFFERENTIAL THAT WAS READY TO CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL? *TR

TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING MY WIPERS HAVE QUIT ON ME. AFTER FIRST TIME IT THREW A "NO START" CODE AND THE TRUCK LEFT ME STRANDED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AN AGENT WITH GMC AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I FILE A CLAIM WITH YOU. IT IS VERY SCARY AND I AM LOOSING CONFIDENCE IN MY TRUCK. LUCKILY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED BUT IT VERY WELL COULD. GMC DOES NOT HAVE RECORD OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHERS BUT I WOULD ADVISE THAT IT BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE MY COMMENTS TAKE A MORE SERIOUS DIRECTION. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. THIS CRACK IS DIRECTLY BESIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IS ABOUT 1-2 INCHES LONG. THE OPPOSITE END OF THE CRACK (NOT CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG) HAS SPLINTERED OFF INTO MORE THAN JUST ONE CRACK. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WILL THIS CAUSE SHATTERING AND DEBRIS TO FLY INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF? *TR

OK- JUST TO LET U KNOW WE NO LONGER HAVE THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TO SCARED THAT MY FAMILY WOULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE STABILITY TRACK WOULD CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO DECREASE ENGINE SPEED. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON A HIGHWAY, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESET UNTIL I COULD BRING IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER SEVEN TIMES AT DEALERSHIP AFTER SEVERAL YEARS, I COULD NOT TRUST IT. IT WAS NOT VERY DEPENDABLE. PLEASE NOW THAT THE LIGHT HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON REGARDING GM AND THE CRUZE VEHICLE, PLEASE RECALL THIS YEAR MODEL. SO SCARED SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE ALL RECORDS ON THIS VEHICLE. ( SOLD IT AND MOVED ONTO A HONDA PILOT) NEVER EVER WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS YEAR VEHICLE TO ANYONE. PLEASE TAKE MY INFORMATION SERIOUSLY. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AN ALARM I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE STARTED GOING OFF IN MY CAR AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO HIT A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN/POLE IN THE PARKING SPACE NEXT TO THE ONE I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF. I COULDN'T GET MY WHEEL TO TURN TO GET IT OFF THE SIGN AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF MY FENDER WOULD BE DEMOLISHED. WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE, IT ONLY TORE THE PAINT OFF THE FENDER AND A SMALL DENT, IT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE, BUT I WAS HARDLY GOING ANY SPEED AT ALL SINCE I WAS BACKING OUT.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING STILL NOT RUNNING, NOT IN USE. VEHICLE WAS SETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WEATHER WAS AROUND 45-50 DEGREES AND THE DASH CRACKED IN 3 SPOTS, 2 SPACES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ONE OVER THE AIR BAG AREA., I HAVE DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND VERIFIED THAT THERE IS SEVERAL CASES OF THIS HAPPENING IN THIS PARTICULER MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THE MATERIAL FROM THE DASH CRACKING COULD CAUSE CUTS/OR EXTENSIVE WOUNDS BY PRODUCING FLYING DEBIS FROM THE AIR BAG GOING OFF SINCE THE DASH IS CRACKING OVER THE AIR BAGS.

THE CHEVROLET TAHOE AND YUKON BOTH HAVE DEFECTS IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT HOUSES THE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY FACTOR THAT GMC IS AWARE OF. AFTER WRITING TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS REGARDING MY DASHBOARD, THEY SENT ME TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS, THE NEW DASHBOARD CRACKED IN THE SAME LOCATION. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT GMC BECOME LIABLE FOR REPAIRS.
