| This is just a few of the many problems experienced from time of purchase. any time i'd turn on air/heat/defrost entire car would shake violently enough to make it difficult to drive. dealership found both problems and so far are corrected. had to bring out another model identical to my to find the all the problems. also had left rear speaker replaced twice, got stranded due to generator low voltage light not coming on when my battery cable bolt was stripped out. had to have brakes reburnished at 913 miles due to squealing and am currently taking it in for problems with the anti-lock brakes being engaged at all times.*ak | |||

| Car has had numerous problems since day one. brakes chatter, overheating, service engine light, cd player and speakers did not work. now it stalls with no warning at all. stalls at 70 mph going down highway. has stalled while driving 3 or 4 times in the past two days. checked out at service station on computer, and shows no problems. have read many complaints here about the exact same problem. bad fuel pump or something is causing car to stall. then it takes from 10 to 15 minutes to start again. some days it just won't start at all. have had car checked many times, and no one can seem to find the problem. anyone that can help here??? i think gmc owes many, many consumers an explanation and repair of this very serious and potentially dangerous problem! *ph | |||
