Engine non-start problems -- waiting 15-20 minutes seems to correct. Wandering side view mirrors. Rubbing noise when turning tightly. Driver's side door movement noise when turning over bumps. Side mirror air noise. The 1st. Two (2) problems have been ongoing, and the most concerning, since the vehicle was purchased new in 2001. It has been in for repairs to two (2) gmc dealers numerous times, and an ignition recall repair was done and the dealer assumed it would correct the non-start problem. It did until yesterday. More importantly however, shortly after this vehicle was purchased, gmc's owner assistance help has been sought for these (2) problems assuming they may inform the dealer of engineering fixes, but to no avail.
Vehicle's air bag light keep flashing/ vehicle running on high RPM's. *mr air bag sensor replaced and calibrations had to be updated. Additional problems included faded window moldings, loss of power and steering. Ignition switch and fuse block was replaced. Inoperative power mirrors. Parts had to be ordered. Consumer was upset with the number of problems experienced with vehicle and the number of recalls on this new SUV. *tt
Spot welds failing on door hinge assembly due to flexing of metal adjacent to hinge. Door check rod not performing restraining function. Broken spot welds could allow a door to fall off moving vehicle. Dt
Memory mirrors do not return to the correct settings. Consumer was orginally told there was no problem; however, two dealerships had duplicated the problem and could not fix it. Had it in a total of 8 times, and several parts of vehicle have been replaced, including mirrors/ mirror actuators/ liftgate control module , and driver's side door control module. This mirror defect was similar to the ones mentioned in odi id numbers 755966, 757526, 757914, 759042, 759973, 760504 and 8000646. Consumer's file number with gmc has been 1-11855349. This was very unsafe because when thinking that mirrors were set, they were not. At night or in the dark consumer must wait to see a light to set them. Dt.
While driving at any speed on flat surface and with no warning, hatchback window will open. Consumer will have to pull over to close the window. Dealer notified.*ak there is a popping sound heard when the window opens on it's own similar to the same noise heard when actually pushing the button for the window to open.
While driving at 30mph headwind and topping out a large hill, front end lifts and swerves due to a large air pocket formed by the front of the hood, the top of the radiator and grill 'fins' or 'bars', the pocket is five inches deep, 4 inches high and 4 feet wide. Driver filled the pocket with nylon foam cut to fit and glued into place. The pocket caused the vehicle to lose traction for the front (steering) wheels and pushed the front end by wind gusts to an excessive and dangerous amount.
Air conditioner failed.
Power steering rack failed at highway speeds, making it difficult to steer vehicle. Dealer has inspected vehicle and determined that steering rack would need to be replaced.*ak there was a loud noise due to no fluid in the power steering reservoir. Rear differential leaks. Driver side front and rear doors rattle and flew over large bumps. Interior courtesy lights do not come on when passenger side door is open.
