Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Two drive shaft failures of oem drive shafts. Would start as vibration then the u-joints would lock. Could have resulted in power train failure and a dangerous condition. Dt
The transmission completely failed while on the highway. I had the vehicle towed to a transmission repair facility, and was told that the transmission had water in it, which corroded all of the parts. The source of water in the system was the cooling system for the transmission fluid which runs through the radiator. The line had a hole, and pressure in the radiator forced water into the line causing the failure. I had the transmission rebuilt and an external cooling system installed. The cost for the repairs was approximately $1500. At the time, the vehicle was only three years old, and did not have especially high mileage, yet the transmission repair was not covered under the warranty.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
The shifter plate seal on top of the transmission failed. After the third attempt by the dealer to repair the seal, they informed me that the shifter assembly was re-engineered and that I would have to pay for replacement of affected parts. In my belief this should have been a recall since it can cause serious transmission failure due to los of fluid and possible personal injury due to transmission lock up. Please investigate this problem.
Transmission locked up on hwy. @ 65mph rear wheels lock for a second and then unlocked which destroyed trans. Paid to have a gm rebuild installed @39000 miles. Rebuild did the same this @42000 miles. Gm said so sorry. Sounds like gm has a major trans. Problem. Did not expect to have trans. Failure at this milage.
4-wheel drive assembly not working. Noise in front end due to 4wd locked and frequently does not disengage or engage.
Heat from driving causes the clutch to stick due to defective clutch master reservoir, this causes the truck to lunge forward or in reverse if consumer tries to disengage gear in traffic. Yh
Braking system malfunctioned. While driving from good traction onto bad traction, braking system will result in extended stopping distance which may cause a crash. Also on a regular stop vehicle loses all power brakes. There is a recall for this problem, but the manufacturer stated that this vehicle is not included in the recall althiugh it has the same problem.
Shift problems. Transmission replaced with srta.
