| I rolled my window down part way and it would not roll up. the window switch on the driver side which includes the door lock for that door did not work. my key fob would not work also. i have been having off and on problems with the window not working properly but it never did this. i had to drive 10 mile to my local auto mechanic and it all of a sudden worked. i took my vehicle back to my mechanic today 2/11/13 and he said i have a defective switch and that there is a recall on this vehicle for this problem. i contacted lunghammer gmc and they said my vehicle is not part of the recall. i would like to know what my options are because the dealership said i have to pay $105.00 for them to look at it and maybe we can get gm to do something. *tr | |||

| While driving a neighborhood street in maine, i first noticed my front, driver's side power window going up and down on its own. then, white smoke started pouring from the power window controls. i pulled into a nearby driveway to pull the fuse, but it must have blown on its own because the window controls stopped working. i drove it straight to the dealership where the power window motor replacement was more than $500. ouch! i'm just glad the entire car didn't burst into flames. *tr | |||

| The fuel gage stays on empty with the low fuel indicator light illuminated once you fill the vehicle to full and then the check engine light comes on, after several hours the fuel gage will move to the full mark and the check engine light may or may not go out. leaving you unsure with the amount of fuel you have in vehicle. this occurs even after shutting the vehicle off and on. | |||
