BRAKE ROTORS
The brake rotors on my 2008 GMC Sierra with 16, 000 original miles still under GMC bumper to bumper warranty warped. I took it to Newby GMC in St.George Utah first told me it was not covered because I was past 7, 000 miles. I said what? Show me where it says that. The service writer then said it had to be under 12, 000 miles. I said I have a 3 years 36, 000 bumper to bumper warranty. After one hour I was told the mechanic found no problems when he drove the truck. I asked him to check it again.. Well this time he said the rotors may be warped. Another hour later I was told I was right. The mechanic has to run two passes on the lathe to fix the warped rotors. At the cashier I was charged $ 155. I complained. I called and complained to GMC corp. I was told by GMC complaint dept. that they called Newby Gmc and they said it was caused by me. I told the I wanted to move this complaint to arbitration because it should be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. He put me on hold, and read the warranty book. He came back, and said you are right. I next got a call from a GMC field rep who said he would contact Newby GMC. He called me back and said Newby GMC said I warped the rotors. I said I did not agree. He called be back a few days late and said NOW Newby GMC said warped rotors are normal wear item. What a bunch of baloney. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH NEWBY GMC, AND GMC CORP.

diagnostic repairs estimate
My SUV would not start, so I had it towed into C Speck Motors. When the completed the diagnostics on my vehicle, they quoted me a price of nearly $1, 500 to conduct a "tune-up, " which I thought was over priced. After contacting my brother, who lives in Alaska and my regular mechanic who lives in Washington, both stated this price was too high. I called C Speck to confirm the bottom price that would get my vehicle running, that I did not need to have all of the work done, that they insisted I needed. Bottom price $1, 100, and I asked them again, if this was the least amount that needed to be done to my vehicle, that would get it started, and they said yes. After speaking with my mechanic and my brother, they said I only needed a distributor cap and rotor and that would start my vehicle, until I could afford to work on the rest. After purchasing the parts from another GMC dealer and driving to my mechanics location (2 1/2 hours away), I was able to fix the issue with my vehicle and it only cost me $120.
Amazing how a company can do more than what is warranted to get a vehicle running. My vehicle may have a couple of issues currently, but none that would keep me from using it for a couple more months. If you were to speak with both my brother and my mechanic, they would tell you how well I keep my vehicle up and how I conduct regular maintenance on it including oil changes. So, to be treated like 1) I don't know anything, 2) that I don't take care of my vehicle and 3) try to discriminate against me, by ripping me off, because I am a woman, is down-right disrespectful.
For the record, I come from a family of auto racers and I am very much aware of what is necessary to take care of my vehicle, which has over 180K miles on it and it is in very good condition for a 1999 GMC Yukon.
Thank you for reading my complain,
Sincerely,
Marina L. Martin-Welton

Didnt't keep promises
I purchased a 2007 CTS Cadillac from Betten Chevy in Muskegon MI 8 months ago and they have yet to keep their promises. I would like them to finish
fixing the scratches that were on the car when I bought it. I had to bring the car back after the purchase to have scratches removed but it was too cold and have to bring it back. They (salesman and even the owner) refuse to answer my calls. I also need the key and remote (they gave me a wrong set)and the air bag in passenger side light is on. Once I left the showroom, they refuse to help me with anything! The salesman even said that the car is good in the snow and I called him back the very next day and said I couldn't get up my hill. He knew that could be a problem from the beginning and lied about the capability. The CTS cadillac is worthless in snow. He lied and he knew the truth! I am so discouraged with this company! Lie after lie after lie! All promises with no results.

Defective Vehicle Dashboard
Hello our names are Rigoberto & Concepcion Marentes our email is: [email protected]
Our vehicle is a 2007 GMC Yukon XL 1500, with in the past 3 months we noticed a crack on the dash board where the passenger airbag is located and a second crack right on the dashboard above the instrument panel, my husband took the car in to the dealership on 10/27/10 where it was purchased and the service manager said it is not a covered item, that it is considered wear and tear on the vehicle, well that is a very disappointing answer to us, we understand wear and tear if we sit on it but this is a dashboard we are talking about with defective material cracks on it. We would like GMC to replace our dashboard with a new one at no charge to us, the one crack on the passenger airbag worries us, if there was to be an accident, would the airbag deploy?
We have purchased a total of 7 GMC vehicles within the past 20 years and had never had issues like this and for them to tell us, we have to pay and replace this defective dashboard leaves us exteremly disaapointed and would not recommend GMC vehicles to anyone nor will we purchase any more vehicles from GMC in the near future. Enclosed are photographs of the defective dashboard.
Thank you for your time in reading this complaint,
Rigoberto and Concepcion Marentes

Robbed me of thousands of dollars, and they don't honor their warranties!
I was having problems cranking up my 97 Chevy Tahoe. I didn't know what the problem was, so I took it to the GMC dealership. I took it to GMC because I thought that I could trust them fixing it, over someone on the street. I paid them their money, and not even two months later...my truck is doing the same thing it was doing before. It was making the same noises, and it was doing the same exact thing. I took my truck back to the shop, and they kept it for a few days. They called me back and told me that they didn't have a problem starting the truck, and that I could come pick it up. I picked the truck up, and just a few weeks later it was doing the same thing. I took it back again, and they kept it for a few days again. GMC called me and told me that the truck cranked right up. They said that they added some fuel cleaner, and everything was okay. I pick the truck up again, and again, shortly after, I find myself having the same problem. I send my truck there again for the simple fact that I believe I have a "warranty" on the services done to my truck. This time, they tell me that I need a distributor and it's gonna cost $600.00. I tell them I'm not paying them anything, because I have a warranty. GMC tells me that they'll call me back. About three days later, GMC calls me back and tells me that I need a distributor, and it's gonna cost $900.00.
It's ridiculous...they want me to pay them another $1, 000 to fix a problem that I shouldn't be having two months later after spending $2, 000 two months ago. I believe they're trying to take advantage of a woman with kids that's just trying to make it. They should be ashamed of themselves. So in closing, I have no choice but to take them to court, because I "thought", that I had a "WARRANTY".

duramax diesel
i have a 2003 3500 with the duramax diesel. it started smoking out the tailpipe. took it to the dealership to have it tested. milage is 178000. there was a special extended coverage due to bad injectors. I paid for this test twice, almost 200 each time, my report says, 1 injector is sticking open, 2 injectors slow to open, no injectors leaking. I'am not the smartest guy in the world but if you have a water faucet that won't turn off, you have a leak, brain surgery or rocket scientist, ? Been told by 3 mechanics that the only way it is sticking open is normally due to a crack at the plate of the end of the injector, therefore covered. Called gm to complain and nothing. Then the real truth came out, general motors won't pay the dealers for their work or parts, so as an owner of my last gm product, it is going to cost me almost 4 grand to fix something gm should be paying for. gm should go out of business and they have seen the last buck from me today. Hello Ford, hope you stand behind your products better than gm. Anyone else having this problem with gm? Class action law suite might just put the last nail in their coffin

Overcharges
I am writing in regards to repairs done to my vehicle and the money I was overcharged for these repairs.
I bought my vehicle in Canada but the repairs were done in the USA, and that is why I am writing to both of you.
I bought my 1998 GMC Jimmy in Canada on July 13, 2007 for $9000.00.
After driving it for some time there was found several things wrong with it. Wipers won’t start sometimes unless you physically pull on wipers to start them. Back window leaks going through car wash. Dome light stays on unless you use the Dome Override button. When you shut engine off radio stays on until you open door, this only works sometimes. Floor on front passenger side is wet because leak some where, still looking for. The warranty was only good for 1 month and so I am trying to live with these problems. This was very disappointing.
I had $912.26 worth of maintenance done to the vehicle on Aug 30, 2007 at the start of my vacation.
Middle of September I went to put the vehicle in 4HI but it would not go in and it never did after that, although it would go in 4LO. I did not need 4 X 4, so I was going to get it fixed after my vacation.
During my vacation if I was driving at highway speed there would be a whining noise and it felt as if something was trying to engage in the 4 wheel drive system. I would have to pull over to the side of the road and something would disengage and the noise would stop. Then I would continue on my way.
This condition started out to be once per week and increased to almost continual, and so I stopped at the nearest GMC dealer for repairs, which was the ANCIRA dealer in BOERNE, Texas. On Friday Oct 12, 2007, at noon. Near the end of the day I was told it probably needed a new 4X4 motor which engages the 4X4, it would cost about $450.00, and the front differential seals were leaking. It was Friday and the vehicle would not be ready until Monday. I told them to go ahead and fix it. So I found a place to stay for the weekend.
On Monday, October 15, 2007, after lunch I got a call from the dealer. I was told that they were still working on the diagnostics, they were talking to GMC technicians, this was not a regular problem ( which seemed strange ), that I would need a control module, and a 4X4 motor, and it would cost about $1100.00. I gave the OK to go ahead with the repairs. After the call my wife mentioned that the diagnosis seemed to be taking quite awhile.
On Tuesday, October 16, 2007, around 10:00 am I got a call from the dealer. I was told the control module was changed, that I would need a new encoder motor, which was now $750.00 instead of the $450.00, a new vacuum switch, and new seals for the front differential. I was told this would now be $2100.00. I was very upset, but I was on vacation, had to have it fixed, and the dealer was not any help in fixing the problem of the high price for the repairs. So I picked up the vehicle at the end of the day, paid $1996.91 for the repairs and the dealer was still no help with the high cost.
I finished my vacation and am now writing to you as I am very unhappy and disappointed with the way the problem was fixed and the over charge of the repairs. What I am upset about is the following:
- I paid $9100.00 for the vehicle, plus $912.26 in maintenance = $10012.26. Then I was charged $1996.91, or 20% more. This is unacceptable.
- The diagnostics took too long. Friday afternoon and Monday still doing diagnostics, way too long, and I should not be paying for extra time to diagnose a problem.
- Price for 4X4 motor went from $450.00 to $750.00, Was overcharged or price is covering other time or costs.
- I was told this was not a regular problem, and that they were talking to other GMC technicians. Seems like the dealer was not fully qualified to fix the problem, and I should not be overcharged for this either.
I have been a loyal GMC owner for most of the 31 years that I have owned and driven a vehicle, and hope to continue this tradition, with your assistance in correcting this problem.
To fix this problem I should be reimbursed $900.00 that I was overcharged from the original estimate, and that I feel was in excess of the proper time and repair of the vehicle.

Terrible experience
My company has 6 GMC 3500 trucks. Most have had the accelerator cables replaced at least twice. The cables are cheep and fray easily therefore the trucks give no warning, the truck accelerators just stick wide open. I contacted GMC to report this and they were only interested in it costing them. I was only intending to inform them of the safety issue. GMC could care less. I found no recalls on this problem. GMC customer care was only interested in the problem if the trucks were still in warranty and had no intention of wasting their time on a problem that they weren't required to pay for.

What a joke
I drive a 2000 Jimmy GMC and have had most of suspension replaced after going to a sight that 2 mechanics told me about and saw the 13 pages of service calls and recalls on my truck I was floored no wonder no one can figure out why at highway speeds this truck shakes like crazy then going to the dealership and the guy says oh its your carrier bearing (lol) which my hubby called to get a price on and lol that truck don’t even have one (lol) and this person works for dealership where did he go to school? So I owe a few more payments and I’m getting rid of this headache!!! Between vibration and flickering interior lights and water on driver side floor board I’ve had enough!!!
