| Gmc admits that there is a major problem with the 5 cylinder motor. they know that there is documented evidence with the cylinder head leaking air, causing trouble with idle, and truck speeds, but they refuse to produce a recall even after allthe money that is dished out for this truck. the truck will go died at stop signs and is in cnstant misfire state while driving down the interstate, not to mention the gas mileage that is wasted because of this issue.!!! my vin number is 1gtcs136748118728. truck has 142000 miles now and is consently going dead when the wheels are turned hard, or just sitting at stop signs or red lights.!!! | |||

| My truck is failing to start at intermittent times. have checked the starter and alternator but the lights work and the battery checks out fine. after about 15 minutes the truck will start and run normally. i had the fuel pump changed as i was told this was the problem but the problem persisted. i changed the fuel pump again thinking i received a defective fuel pump but i am still having the same starting issues. i have reset the computer in the truck hoping this would help but it has not. this starting issue occurs about every day and usually when i need the truck the most (i.e. to and from work) please help with any suggestions or solutions you may have! *tr | |||

| There is a high pitched whining coming from the engine whenever i use the air conditioning. the whine is not constant. it sounds like it makes the noise when the air conditioning compressor kicks in. i bought this vehicle on 4/29/2004. *ak | |||

| Notified jof defect by gmc that engine intake valve seats are subject to abnormal wear, possibly resulting in misfiring and rough engine idling. they did not issue a recall, merely advising owners to take car to dealer if problem occurs. i maintain this is a safety issue. what if the misfire ignites the air filter? what if the vehicle stalls in traffic? what about pollution and cafe issues? *tr | |||
