CAR LURCHES WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT, INTERMITTENTLY FEELING LIKE YOU ARE LOOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE.
PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY GOT UP TO SPEED OF ROADWAY THAT IS 50 MPH FELT A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END, SLOWED DOWN IT WENT AWAY, SO I STARTED TO SPEED UP AGAIN TO SEE IF IT CAME BACK, THEN BOOM MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE LITERALLY BLEW UP, THE TREAD SEPARATED AND THE TIRE ALMOST BLEW COMPLETELY OFF THE RIM. I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SKIDDED TO HALT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TEARING UP A LAWN AND ALMOST TAKING OUT A GUARD RAIL. THE TIRE BENT MY FRONT BUMPER AND RIPPED MY RUNNING BOARD PARTWAY OFF. I AM VERY LUCKY NO OTHER TRAFFIC WAS AROUND ME... I CHANGED THE TIRE TO MY SPARE AND AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF REMOVING THE REST OF THE CORNERSTONES FORME MY TRUCK, IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK

THE IGNITION SWITCH STARTED TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. FIRST THE HEATER FAN WOULD QUIT AND THE ABS LIGHT WOULD INSTANTLY TURN ON, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD FAIL TO OPERATE. WHEN THE ABS LIGHT WOULD BE ON THE ABS WOULD FAIL TO OPERATE. THEN SUDDENLY ALL OPERATIONS WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. IT WOULD BE UNPREDICTABLE WHEN THE HEATER FAN AND THE ABS WOULD FAIL AND COME BACK. THEN YESTERDAY, THE SUBURBAN STARTED AND DIED 3 SECONDS AFTER STARTING. I RESTARTED THE SUBURBAN AND ALL SEEMED GOOD. I PUT THE SUBURBAN IN DRIVE AND ROLLED AT ABOUT 5 MPH AND THE TRUCK DIED. I STOPPED AND PUT THE SUBURBAN IN TO PARK AND RESTARTED. PLACED IT INTO DRIVE AND MADE IT HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TURNED OFF THE SUBURBAN AND TRIED TO RESTART IT. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT FIRE THE ENGINE. THE RADIO AND HEATER AND ALL OTHER ELECTRONICS WOULD OPERATE AS NORMAL, BUT THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON I.E. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON", "BRAKE", "AIR BAG", "ABS". THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS FAILED ON IT AND NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

STEERING SPEED SENSOR FAILS CAUSING THE STEERING TO SUDDENLY JERK WHILE TURNING UNDER SPEED. IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS HIT "SLIPPERY ICE". I HAVE REPLACED THIS ITEM 3 TIMES ON MY OWN AND THE SENSOR KEEPS FAILING. THE ONE IN MY CAR CURRENTLY IS EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND WILL NEED REPLACING. *TR
SPRING OF 2008 WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THEN IN NOVEMBER 2008 THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AGAIN. THE MECHANIC SAID THEY WERE BOTH BRAND NEW FUEL PUMPS BUT HE WAS UNSURE OF WHY THEY BOTH FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK IN MARCH 2009. 3 NEW FUEL PUMPS ALL WITHIN ONE YEAR SOUNDS LIKE A PROBLEM TO US. THE MECHANIC ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE HARNESS. EACH TIME WHEN THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T START. IT WOULD DRIVE FINE AND THEN JUST NOT RESTART ONCE TURNED OFF. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 GMC SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V159000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER), ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 01/07/09. *LJ UPDATED 01/12/09. *JB
PARKED TRUCK NEAR DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING TROUBLE STARTING IT, TRIED TO RESTART, IT DIDN'T. DEALER TOOK IT IN AND CALLED TO SAY THAT FUEL PUMP IS SHOT AND THEY HAD ONE IN STOCK TO REPLACE IT. THEN FOUR HOURS LATER THEY SAID THE WIRES TO IT WERE MELTED AND THE SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP FOR THIS TRUCK IN 264,000 MILES. FIRST WAS AT 50,000 MILES. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 GMC SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT WIRES WERE ROTTED OUT, WHICH BURNED OUT THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 151,000.
FUEL PUMP FAILED MORE THAN THREE TIMES, ONLY IN THE SUMMER. REASON UNKNOWN, MANY SIMILAR VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GENERAL MOTORS HAS DONE NOTHING. *JB
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 1997 GMC SUBURBAN WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN 03V159000. I CONTACTED GMC, AND AFTER A LENGTHY PHONE CALL TO COLLECT ALL RELEVANT DATA, THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME AT MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTED THE WIPER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND INFORMED ME THAT THE FAILURE WAS INDEED DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE WIPER CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD. HOWEVER, MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED PRIOR TO 70,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED IT AT NO CHARGE UNDER A "WAIVER SYSTEM?", BUT NOW IT WOULD BE $120 TO FIX. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH GM CONTINUES TO SEND ME MARKETING MATERIAL TO TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE FOR A NEW ONE, THEY FAILED TO INFORM ME AT ANY TIME OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD RECALL. THEY ALSO WASTED SEVERAL HOURS OF MY TIME ON THE TELEPHONE AND ARRANGING TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALER PRIOR TO TELLING ME THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. HOW CAN THIS AUTOMAKER HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY IN MIND WHEN THEY DENY CONSUMERS A REMEDY TO A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC SAFETY HAZARD BASED ON THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THEIR VEHICLE? THIS IS A $30 RETAIL PRICE CIRCUIT BOARD! APPARENTLY MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS AROUND ME IS NOT WORTH $30 TO GMC. THE "ICING ON THE CAKE" IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT GM INVESTED TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO, AND THEN BACK PEDDLING ON WHY THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE CARD UNDER THE RECALL. WHAT WOULD THE COST BE IF I WAS CAUGHT IN A RAINSTORM DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY UNREPAIRED VEHICLE AND HAD A CRASH? I HAVE PERSONALLY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A REPLACEMENT THAT I PURCHASED AT AN AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLY STORE. *JB
WHEN BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE ABS KICKS IN AND INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE NEEDED. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO DEALER (AND OVER $500 IN REPAIRS) FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THEY CHECKED THE RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED. I HAVE SINCE SEEN THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES AND THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THE "REGIONAL" RECALL DIDN'T COVER THEM. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THIS BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THIS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT (OR WORSE). *JB
ABS BRAKES DO NOT AND HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED (STILL ORIGINAL OWNER). SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING DOES NOT AND HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY AS WELL. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS $$$ HAVE BEEN SPENT AT THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AND AT QUALIFIED AUTOMOBILE SERVICE REPAIR CENTERS CONTINUALLY REPLACING PARTS AND SOMETIMES THE SAME PARTS OF THE YEARS, THIS CONTINUES TO THIS DAY EVEN THOUGH THE SUBURBAN IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THIS INCLUDES MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE PADS, CYLINDERS, ETC. THIS BRAKING DEFECT SEEMS TO BE EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS OF THE 1997 GMC SUBURBAN C1500. WHY HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE BY GM ENGINEERS TO LOCATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM? *NM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AT SPEEDS BELOW 5 MPH, THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS THREE TIMES AS FAR AS IT SHOULD BE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THE ABS SENSORS WERE REPAIRED.

I HAVE A 1997 GMC SUBURBAN. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING COMPLETELY AND UNPREDICTABLY. THIS HAPPENED ONCE OR TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2001, BUT IN RECENT MONTHS HAS HAPPENED VERY FREQUENTLY, MOST MEMORABLY WHEN I WAS TRAVELING IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, BUT WAS DEFINITELY IN DANGER. I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE ON 1997 GMC SUBURBANS (GM RECALL #03023; NHTSA RECALL NO. 03V159), MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BASED ON THE VIN. I HAVE SCHEDULED THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR, BUT FEEL STRONGLY THAT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL. *NM
THERE IS ALREADY AN APR 28, 2003 RECALL BUT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME I SHOULD FILE THIS ANYWAY SINCE THE MANUFACTURER (GMC) WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL (BELOW). THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE QUEBEDEAUX GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN TUCSON, ARIZONA. GMC REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM (THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK AND MY WIFE WAS ALMOST IN A BAD ACCIDENT AS A RESULT). AT FIRST, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE WORK WAS ALREADY DONE SINCE THE 2003 RECALL. IT WAS NOT. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THEY COULD NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY AND MOVE RESIDENCES EVERY 2 YEARS. THEY PROBABLY JUST CHECKED IT OFF AS DONE OR THERE WAS A TYPO. EITHER WAY, THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. MAKE : GMC MODEL : SUBURBAN YEAR : 1997 MANUFACTURER : GENERAL MOTORS CORP. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 03V159000 RECALL DATE : APR 28, 2003 COMPONENT: VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED : 1755876 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. CONSEQUENCE: IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING BAD WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY WOULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 19, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537.

WHILE DRIVING A 1997 GMC SUBURBAN AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT NOTICE. IT RESULTED IN A VERY URGENT AND PANICY STOP ON I96 FROM HIGHWAY SPEED IN RELATIVELY LIGHT TRAFFIC. WE WAITED A FEW MINUTES BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEY RESTARTED ON THEIR OWN. I CALLED THE CORPORATION CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT NOWHERE. I WROTE A LETTER THINKING IT WOULD GET ACTION (DEC 1, 2003). I GOT A RESPONSE THAT BASICALLY SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. THIS IS ALL NEWS BECAUSE WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN JULY OF 2003. THE SERVICE MANAGER, ELIZABETH NAVARRO, SUGGESTED I GO BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL EVALUATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT EVALUATE IF THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING. SO THE FIRST TIME IT FAILED NEAR THE DEALER WAS YESTERDAY,7/27/04. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS AN AFTERMARKET MODULE (THE COMPONENT THAT EVERYONE AGREES IS FAILING) ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING. HERE IS MY CONCERN, I AM SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND UNDERSTAND THAT I OWN A VEHICLE THAT HAS NOW FAILED AT LEAST TWO MODULES, POSSIBLY THREE, AND IT IS AT MOST EIGHT YEARS OLD WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. IN TALKING WITH OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS OF SIMILAR AGE AND BRAND I AM TOLD THIS IS COMMON. EVERONE AT GM AND THE DEALERS TALK ABOUT A COMPONENT FAILURE. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A SYSTEM FAILURE. THE DESIGN IS FAILING. NAMELY THEIR RECALL FIX NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY OBVIOUS QUESTION TO YOU IS WHAT TYPE OF FOLLOW UP DO YOU DO AFTER A RECALL HAS BEEN EXECUTED? DO YOU PERFORM ANY STATISTICAL ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE EFFECTIVENESS? MAY I HAVE COPIES OF THOSE STUDIES? BELIEVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE A MANDATORY COMPONENT. I BELIEVE IF MY WIFE WERE DRIVING THAT NIGHT (OR MY MOTHER) THE PROBABILITY THE THE TRUCK COMING TO A SAFE STOP WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH LESS.*AK

I HAVE OWNED THE SUB FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW. FIRST OFF I REALLY ENJOY DRIVING IT. I NEED TO SAY MY VEHICLE IS MODIFIED AND NOT STOCK. 9 INCH LIFT 38IN SUPER SWAMPERS, AND A COUPLE OF ENGINE UPGRADES. I CAN VERIFY HOWEVER EVEN BEFORE I INSTALLED THE LIFT AND TIRES I HAD A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS. #1 ALWAYS HAD UNEVEN WEAR IN THE FRONT BRAKES, 1 CALIPER (FRONT) WOULD ALWAYS BURN UP THE BRAKES FASTER. I MADE SURE I USED GM PADS FROM THE DEALER. I ALSO MADE SURE THE CALIPERS WERE MOVING FREELY AND GUIDE BOLTS LUBED WITH GM SUPPLIED GREASE. #2 POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE EVEN WITH VEHICLE UNLOADED, I GUESS I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT BY MYSELF. NOT TO BE RUDE BUT WHY WOULD GM EQUIP A VEHICLE WITH A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT IS RATED AT APPROX 7,300LBS WITH A TINY BRAKING SYSTEM. IN MY OPINION SMALL PADS+SMALL ROTORS=LONG STOPPING DISTANCE. #3 DETONATION, GOING UP SMALL INCLINES 1/4-1/2 ENGINE THROTTLE. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED. EVEN THOUGH THIS MAY NOT BE GM'S PROBLEM I JUST WANTED TO GET MY 2 CENTS IN. I UNDERSTAND ALL GASOLINE IS NOT CREATED EQUAL, I HAVE TO USE 92-93 OCTANE WITH A FUEL ADDITIVE TO GET RID OF THE NOISE. IS THIS NOT A FUCTION OF THE KNOCK SENSOR? I MAYBE WRONG BUT SHOULDN'T THE KNOCK SENSOR BACK OFF IGNTION TIMING VIA THE ECU WHEN DETONATION IS PRESENT. #4 DOOR HINGES LOUD/NOISY BREAKING.
