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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR EXTERIOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLES BECAME FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME HANDLE WAS PEELING AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

THE REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAD BROKEN OFF. IT WAS ORIGINALLY REPAIRED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER; HOWEVER IT BROKE AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT HAS SINCE BROKEN ABOUT 10 TIMES AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS WAS A $55K VEHICLE BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2007. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AS PEOPLE CAN BREAK IN. IN ADDITION, IT'S NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOOR AS THE HANDLE SEPARATES FROM THE BODY AND PUSHES BACK IN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CHILD'S HAND TO GET CAUGHT IN BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HANDLE. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2007 TAHOE IN AUGUST 2012. SINCE THIS TIME, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL STARTING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. A JUMP START OR BOOST WILL OFTEN ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND AN AVAILABLE BOOST. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS, FAMILY VACATIONS, WORK, AND OUR KIDS GAMES OR PRACTICES. AS NOTED IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, THE STARTING PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THERE ARE TIMES A BOOST WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, WE EVEN BEGAN TO LOSE POWER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING A FAMILY VACATION THIS PAST SUMMER. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING ISSUE FOR GM AND THEIR APPARENT INABILITY OR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE STARTING / LOSS OF POWER PROBLEMS, A CRACKED DASH AND FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE. BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINTS, IT MAY LIKELY BE A BATTERY CABLE ISSUE. GM MUST RECALL THIS KNOWN PROBLEM!!! *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK IS NEAR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SPACE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RUNS FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG HAVING DIFFICULTY DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT OR PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD BREAKING AWAY IN IT'S CURRENT STATE THAT MAY TURN INTO PROJECTILES. *TR

VEHICLE DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE BETWEEN DEFROST VENT AND PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG. THEN IT CRACKED ABOVE THE GAUGES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WHICH NOW HAS STARTED RUNNING TOWARD DRIVER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WILL SHATTER IF EITHER OF THE AIR BAGS EXPLODE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG 2007 GM TAHOES, SUBURBANS AND YUKONS. THE LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AFFECTING VAST NUMBERS OF VEHICLES. *TR

MY CHEVY TAHOE HAS HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE IN 2007. THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER 2500 MILES AFTER A RECENT SERVICE AND STATED THAT THE LEVEL IS LOW. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO STATE IT IS "NORMAL" OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM.
Steering, Power train, Electrical system, Sep 8, 2013
I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A KNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. I JUST HAD MY TAHOE AT THE DEALER LAST WEEK FOR STRANGE CLACKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THEY STATED I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT DID IT AGAIN. YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE AND MY TAHOE APPEARED POSSESSED. DOOR LOCKS, GEARING SHIFTING WAS AFFECTED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND STEER DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS RISK TO OTHERS AROUND ME AND MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. TURNING TO THE INTERNET AND FINDING THAT I AM ONE OF WHAT IS PROBABLY THOUSANDS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE MAKES MY EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT GM IS NOT LOOKING OUT FOR ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, NTSB AND NOW WITH THE STATE OF NC IMMEDIATELY. NOT ONLY HAVE WE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE LONG DEALT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT GM CONTINUES TO SAY IS "NORMAL" CONSUMPTION. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN GM AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING MAJOR COMPONENT ISSUES. WE ALSO OWN A JEEP WRANGLER AND THEY ARE BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANYTIME WE HAVE AN ADDRESSABLE ISSUE. *LN

THERE WERE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AND GM REPLACED AT NO CHARGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEW DASH DEVELOPED ANOTHER CRACK...THIS TIME IT IS A FAIRLY LARGE PIECE THAT HAS SPLIT AND COULD FALL OUT. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE IT IF I WOULD PAY A $200 DEDUCTIBLE. I REFUSED AS THE INITIAL DASH PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY PERIOD. THE FACT THAT IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN WHILE BEING NO MORE THAN 2 YEARS OLD IS INDICATIVE OF A MATERIAL DEFECT ON THEIR PART. I HAVE "NEVER" HAD A DASH IN ANY VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED (FORD, NISSAN, MAZDA) CRACK EXCEPT FOR GM. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT PIECES OF A GM DASH WILL NOT FLY INSIDE THE CABIN OF A VEHICLE AND STRIKE SOMEONE SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE. THERE ARE WELL OVER 200 PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK COMPLAINING ABOUT THE INFERIOR DASH QUALITY OF SOME GM VEHICLES AND ARE FRUSTRATED THAT GM HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE ALSO MEANS THAT I TAKE A FINANCIAL HIT SHOULD I TRY TO SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DASH. GM IS WRONG. *JB

THERE ARE DASHBOARD CRACKS IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS 2? LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF ITS AN ANOMALY. IT ISN'T. I AM A MEMBER OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WHO CURRENTLY HAS 250 MEMBERS AND HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION AMONG HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS. I AM WORRIED THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH IS A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. I CAN IMAGINE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP WHO HAVE HAD 3 DASHES REPLACED BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECT. PLEASE REFER TO THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO WHERE IT SHOWS THE CRACKS ON SEVERAL GMC AND CHEVY AUTOS. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8 PLEASE SEE THE FACEBOOK GROUP FOR MORE CONFIRMATION AND INFORMATION ON THE DEFECT. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ CURRENTLY THE NHTSA HAS 98 COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE RELATING TO THE DASH CRACKS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHVEHICLES ALSO MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME UP AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I ASKED IF THE CRACK IN THE DASH ON AIR BAG AFFECTS THAT AND THEY ALSO REPLIED THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CODE JUST SAYS SOMEWHERE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BRAKES. *JB

CONSIDERING THIS IS A $55,000+ VEHICLE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL. *TR
Power train, Aug 23, 2013
WENT TO DINNER AND DROVE HOME WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, STOPPED AND BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD. SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE RPM'S RACED TO 4K AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN. NO DRIVE, OR 3RD. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE IT IN REVERSE AND SLIGHTLY IN 2ND BUT HAD TO STRAIN UP HILL TO GET OUR CAR AND KIDS HOME IN THE DARK IN 1ST GEAR. GOT HOME AND CHECKED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN FLUSHED 14K MILES AGO AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION NOT CAUSING THIS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS PINK, CLEAN AND MEASURED WHERE IT SHOULD ON THE DIPSTICK. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET IN WHICH PEOPLE HAD THE SAME NO FORWARD MOVEMENT IN 3 OR 4 BUT 1, 2 AND REV. OK. FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE 4L60E TRANSMISSION THAT GM HAS PRODUCED DUE TO A FAULTY FORWARD SPRAG COMPONENT THAT WAS BUILT WITH CHEAP STAMPED METAL AND THEY RELEASED A TSB PERTAINING TO AN UPDATED COMPONENT! I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING WITH TAHOE AND HAVE MADE IT TO 113K MILES ON MY TRANSMISSION. IM BEING CHALLENGED TO PROVIDE RECORDS OF MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE BEING DONE. I HAVE WORKED FOR A CAR DEALER AS A SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 10+ YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED ALL OF MY PARTS FROM A GM DEALER TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WOULD RUN AND DRIVE PROPERLY. I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH THOUGH TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP LABOR RATE AS I HAVE ONE OF MY TECHNICIAN TO PERFORM MY SERVICES REGULARLY. I JUST PURCHASED FLUID FROM OUR GM DEALER AND HAD A COMPLETE TRANS FLUSH AT 100K MILES LIKE RECOMMENDED BY GM. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2008 AND VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS CAUSING A TSB RELEASE WERE NOT DUE FOR TRANS SERVICE YET! IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE BUT FROM POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT GM CLAIMS ARE BUILT TO LAST! JUNK! *TR

THE MONITOR OR SENSOR OF THE CAR WAS NOT DETECTING IF THE VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING ACCURATELY. IT IS NOT DETECTING THE PRESSURE OF THE TIRE. SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP PARTICULARLY TO SALESPERSON WHO SOLD US THE CAR. HE SAID, IT DOES IT SOMETIMES. WHEN WE ARE FILLIN IN ITS GAS TANK, IT SHUTS OFF THE GAS NOZZLE AFTER A GALLON OR TWO, WHICH IS ACTUALLY STRANGE, SO WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT'S PROBABLY THE GAS STATION. WE TALK TO THE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY ARE NOT SHUTTING THE GAS NOZZLE OFF. WE OCCASIONALLY HEAR ITS CREAKING SOUND WHEN WE DRIVE IT, AND WHEN WE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT IS JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T USE A BRAKE PAD THAT'S WHY. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SOMETIMES MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNING, BUT THEIR COMMENT IS UNABLE TO VERIFY THE CAUSE AT THIS TIME. I CONTACTED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH THE CAR EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER DIDN'T LIKE IT, AND UNTIL NOW THEY STILL CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP US OUT. THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAS ALREADY EXPIRED, BUT WHY THEY DIDN'T FIXED THEM WHEN WE FIRST CAME TO THEM A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. THE CAR IS JUST 23,000 MILES THOUGH IT'S A 2007 MODEL, BECAUSE WE CAN'T USE IT ALL THE TIME. WE ARE NOT THAT CONFIDENT TO BRING IT ALL THE TIME AND PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. RIGHT NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, I HAVE RENEWED ITS REGISTRATION ALREADY, BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD HOPING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL DO SOME CORRECTIONS WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ALREADY EXPIRED. WE KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS THE EMISSION TEST BECAUSE ITS ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE'VE BEEN TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES BUT THEY ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, EVEN IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND JUST WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO EXPIRE SO THEY WILL HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO US. *TR

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE COMING HOME FROM A 15 HOUR TRIP TO OKLAHOMA WHEN THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF. THE NEXT THING THAT CAME ON WAS SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, THE VEHICLE DIDN'T LOSE POWER AND THEY DROVE ON TO A GAS STATION FOR FUEL AND RESTROOM BREAK. WHEN SHE GOT BACK IN THE CAR SHE TURNED THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE JUST KEPT TRYING TO CRANK ITSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE WHOLE TIME THIS WAS GOING ON THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE SHE GAVE UP AND CALLED SOMEONE TO DRIVE 2 HOURS PICK HER AND MY DAUGHTER UP SO THEY COULD GET HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO GET THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND GM AND THE DEALERS HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIX IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM HASN'T RECALLED THE VEHICLES AS THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. BUT HOW CAN GM GO ON KNOWING THAT THIS IS A ISSUE WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO LAWSUITS WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. *TR
