Purchased truck in 2006. Mileage at 48,000. Trouble starting, fuel pump replaced. Oil cooling lines replaced. Subsequently, automatic transmission slips from 2 wd to 4 wd for no apparent reason. I have noticed that this problem occurs when accelerator is not depressed, and wheels are turned, to turn a corner or to turn into/out of a driveway. Usually there is a depression in path as well, I.e. Curb/dip at driveway entrance, pothole, etc. Engine is not always cold; sometimes shifts at end of trip, sometimes at beginning, no adverse weather conditions.

Dt*: the consumer stated the fuel gauge suddenly stopped working in 2002. The dealership determined the fuel gauge and fuel pump need to be replaced. The manufacturer recommended the replacement of these components, based on other vehicles with the same problem; the wires could overheat and cause a fire in the gas tank. *jb updated 02/07/06.

The gas gauge does not work. It ia part of a fuel pump-gas gauge assembly located in the gas tank of my vehicle. The service advisor, at one of their shops in winston-salem, north carolina told me, in the fall of 2002, that there is no recall on this item so I need to get it replaced for two reasons. 1) it needs to be repaired and 2) the findings on previously vehicles with the same problem is that the wires connected to the gauges in the gas tank show excessive electrical scorching. Because the dealership would not repair it as 'covered under warranty'(truck had 39000 miles on it at the time of my first complaint) and because they wanted so much money($800) to fix it, I decided to take it elsewhere to see if the repair can be done at a more reasonable cost(to me). I have taken my truck to other repair shops since, and have been told the same story...the electric wires are overheating , burning excessively at the switch located in the gas tank. I have been advised several times to contact the federal safety agency and finally I have. My service advisor at firestone has told m that this fuel pump-gas gauge assembly fails on all gmc trucks that they service for the stated reasons and that I should complain to you folk or continue to drive it using my 'trip meter' as m gas gauge. So here I am....thanks for helping me and /or trying to help me. A retired school teacher. Tom.

Fuel pump, repairs costing over $2000.00 in the past 2 years. Still having problems. See that there is a history with this vehicle part so why hasn't there been a solution for all of us out here. This is ridiculouos. It's always the fuel pump when the check engine soon light comes on. Very fustrating for such low miles.

Complaint covers sat oct 9th thru 10-14 2004 radio malfunctioning-1)took vehicle to jonesboro rd gmc dealer and complaint about radio first. Digital display showing one station and playing another. The panel gets very hot . Radio was showing issue at the time. Mark service advisor reached inside vehicle and began to press the buttons. They refused to document my radio problem at the jonesboro dealership. I called back and spoke to mark about documentation. He said he couldn't because the tech didn't see it. I advised him that he did and I asked him why did he push any buttons. At marietta, my truck had radio replaced twice during this week due to malfunction. 2) ABS braking failure, normal soft braking, truck will swerve to side and then correct itself, roll forward and then stop. Was told this is normal braking for ABS. Was duplicated at dealership but they have tried to minimize problem (team pontiac, gmc jonesboro rd of union city ga) they did document issue 3) emergency brake ) light not working when depressing emergency brake pedal. Illuminated during start of truck however didn't work when depressing pedal . Marietta pontiac gmc repaired issue. Can now depress emergency brake and it will light up . See previous notes, to date, my truck has had since purchase 12/29/2004 1) new battery, headlight bulb , daytime running light bulb , turn signal switch, new radio 1,2,3,4. New o2 sensor, fuel pump, (lost power on interstate) ABS issues, my truck just isn't safe. With this consistent ABS problem.

Noticed a pull on the vehicle and noticed engine had stopped I was driving on the interstate going 285 north about 60 miles per hour. Had just turned on the air conditioner. Was able to coast and safely pull over to the exit. *ak engine would turn but not start. Had to be towed to dealership. Was safe because it was saturday afternoon, no traffic, per tech fuel pump sensor failure, thereafter had other problems ie, headlights out, daylight running lights out, had radio/cd player problems b4 engine failure, with intermittent changing of stations, radio comming on and off, service engine light on. Rt turn signal light fast blinking, since I purchased the vehicle there has always been a concern about the brakes. When hitting a bump in the road and braking, the car seems to roll instead of slowing or stopping,and I always feel if a vehicle was in front of me I would hit them. I have avoided many incidents being careful when I brake but during a passing conversation with a tech during oil change I discussed this problem. It was never documented. I mentioned my brake issue after the tech found the brake light on after engine service my brake concerns have never really been documented. They have checked the brakes and actually repaired them, they are working okay today. I am still having problems with blinking light on my radio,(new radio/cd by dealer) and daytime running lights going out again. I believe it is a computer problem or electrical short. This week my vehicle has been checked 3 times. Please note this vehicle did not overheat, have battery problems, the engine just cut off. Tech thinks I ran out of gas, defect in gauge. I dont think so. I keep all of my receipts. My vehicle was built april 2002 I purchased as new vechicle with 127miles can you tell me if there was a previous problem with this vehicle
