Fuel/Propulsion System · at 78,000 miles · reported Oct 25, 2014
After filling up with gas and then proceeding to start the engine, the fuel gauge indicates a false reading of no fuel and the yellow light is constantly on.
Electrical System · at 54,000 miles · reported Oct 24, 2014
The speedometer has been an ongoing problem, with it not working properly. It will go out of wack while driving, and you do not know what your speed is when it drops past the 120 MPH range, then when vehicle is stopped, it may read 60 or 70 MPH range. People are making complaints all over about this as well as the gas gauge doing the same thing. Gmc dealer states that there are no recalls on these problems. These are safety related problems, and need to be recalled. I have an extended warranty on my vehicle (Still in force), with a $100 deductible, but why should the warranty company pay for…
Electrical System · at 91,000 miles · reported Nov 20, 2013
The speedometer has gotten stuck at 120 MPH & will not reset... This has happened off & on & I was usually able to reset the speedometer by turning on and off the vehicle several times... But now, it has officially stayed at 120mph. I AM unable to tell how fast I AM actually driving. I know gmc had similar issues with their chevrolet vehicles - & that resulted in a class action lawsuit to have them issue a recall.... I would really like to see a recall on this... It is unsafe to drive this way!!
Suspension · at 62,000 miles · reported Jul 5, 2013
After having the car serviced at the dealer I noticed the rear suspension was sagging. I had this checked at the dealer but they could find no problem. The rear suspension still will sag but not with any regularity, sometimes in one night, other times 3-4 nights.
Visibility · at 82,100 miles · reported Jan 29, 2013
Car was parked in driveway for the afternoon and the rear glass shattered for no reason. No evidence of anything hitting rear glass. Half the glass was inside vehicle and half the glass was blown backon the hood and bumper of my second car which was parked directly behind said vehicle. Neither one was in motion.
