Vehicle stalls at between 25 and 32 MPH after coasting or braking gently from 50 plus MPH. Took to dealer on 09/28/00 who said it was dirty fuel injection system, system cleaned. Dealer wanted owner to drive the car for 500 miles to see if the prblem was fixed. At 300 miles,owner's son and wife both had condition occure 10/01 and 10/02/00 during a turn which did not result in any problem but the potential for an accident is high. Owner was able to recereate the problem 5 times in one day (10/03/00) sent to dealer on 10/04/00 who indicated that there was a service bulletin to replace a crank shaft sensor. This was done on 10/04/00. Problem is back on 10/06/00 same condition. Dealer informed awaiting response to the stalling problem.
First problem was the battery short on 5-26-99, then on 6-15-99 air bag light came on, stating to service air bag. Vehicle was taken to dealer and I was advised that there was no problem with airbag system. On 7-7-99, air bag light came on again. Vehicle taken to dealer and again advised that nothing was wrong,l just a faulty light. They also stated that the air bag would never deloy unlesss there was an accident. On 7-29-00 while stopped at a red light. Airbag service light came on, and air bagsdeloyed immediately on drivers side door. Vehicle taken to dealer and left for 27 days. Gmc stated this has never happened to another vehicle. As I can see they lied to me, it has happened. I have a lawsuit pending with them since 11-29-99 requesting they buy back my vehicle. Nothing has been heard from since. On 11-1-99 fuel gauge sensor went out and had to be replaced. All these problems started with a battery short on 5-26-99 and the computer has a mind of its own. Please note: the air bag has only deployed once. However, I had two previous warnings.
On-going / intermittent problem with engine stalling, but will restart. Vehicle been to three defferent dealers. First dealer informed consumer of a loose negative cable, which did not correct the problem. But the other dealers were unable to locate cause of the problem.
When the ignition key is removed the vehicle rolled back ward striking a passenger with open door and causing injuries. Yh
Remote control for power doors/locks does not open the door. Also, windshield wipers do not come on unless turned on high, and when car is put in reverse the power doors do not lock. Dealer cannot fix.
Dealership replaced ignition and electronic control module twice. But problem still exists.
