1996 GMC C15 User Comment / Complaint

2003 gmc envoy with a list of problems ** the consumer began to hear a knocking and pinging in the engine on cold starts and felt a hesitation when the automatic transmission shifted into gear. after many complaints, it was finally discovered the engine knock was due to shorter pistons in the re-designed engine and the hesitation in the transmission shifting required reprogramming. the consumer was told he would have to live with the engine knock, because it could be more trouble taking the engine apart. on a separate occasion, the engine stalled due to the battery dying. from april 2004 to october 2004 the battery failed several times and had to be re-charged. during that same time the engine light illuminated and each time it happened, the dealer would have to reprogram the engine computer. the radio was not functioning properly which primarily consisted of static. the driver information center control knobs as well as the radio knobs wore out. the front center console was loose. it was discovered that the engine light was coming on because the third stop light that's on the top of the liftgate malfunctioned. there was a short circuit in the stop light. the cooling fan broke, the brakes and the left front head lamp had to be replaced. the rear tail lights, directional and signal lights have been replaced several times. the lug nut broke while a replacement tire was being mounted on the vehicle. the front stabilizer linkage was replaced. the gas tank had to be replaced along with the fuel lines and a seal on the tank due to a leak. the seat belt was designed poorly and the belt cuts into the consumers neck. the drivers side door didn't close properly, the windshield wipers were replaced within the first 2 years.  view

On or about september 26, 2004, purchased a 2004 kia amanti. since that time, the vehicle has undergone a multitude of problems, many of which kia has been unable to fix. since its purchase, the vehicle has exhibited air conditioning problems, electrical circuit problems, battery problems, water leaks, recurring engine light problems and, most recently, shaking and lurching issues which have rendered the vehicle unsafe to operate. although some of these issues were rectified, it appears that the vehicle continues to exhibit additional problems one right after another. in fact, the rear brake light and windshield leak required six separate visits to ontario kia due to the fact that kia could not locate the source of the problem. although the car is still relatively new, dr. oh has already purchased a car battery, two brakes, and four new tires (excluding other repair costs not covered by warranty). over the course of the past month, the air conditioning unit fails to operate satisfactorily. over the course of the past several weeks, dr. oh has continued to drive the vehicle notwithstanding the air conditioning problems and the continuous shaking and bouncing issues.  view

I own an 05 kia sedona, bought new, has had brake problems from the beginning. the dealer, that services - not the one i bought from, has serviced the vehicle from the first, told me that the manufacturer was working on getting replacement parts and that as soon as they came out i would be one of the first to receive the part. now, my warranty has expired and i am having to cover the cost of replacing the parts every 3-4000 miles when i get oil changes and the dealer says they cannot cover it any longer because the warranty has expired. i am concerned because i have had transmission issues (that the dealer cannot "find the problem") they say that if a problem occurs they will cover fixing it because it's been ongoing but that's what i was told about the brake problem. the brakes are so bad that the whole van shakes and doesn't feel like the brakes are grabbing or are going to stop the vehicle and my children are learning to drive in the van.  view

This complaint is about a saftey issue with the 2007 harley davidson road king i purchased in dec 2006. the bike has a very loud clatter emitting from the engine, sounds like the valve train or transmission. it appears that this problem has the attention of many 2007 owners with late 2006 production release motorcycles. the bikes also run very hot and are not ridable in weather over 70 degrees. im concerned that there is possible mechanical failure eminent wich could result in fatal consequences. halrey davidson customer service proclaims that there is nothing wrong and will not take responciblity for these problems. they did issue a tourqe smoothing recalibration that did nothing fr the loud clatter emitting from the engine, and ultra hot temps. we need your help.  view
