was on my way home an smelled smoke, pulled over an the turn signal was smoking-an sparking fire, lights would not go off, also the next day, car wouldn't crank, called a mechanic,an he said that the car needed to be reported, when on line an say where there was several recalls on these cars, my mechanic stated that this could cause major damages an GMC, needs to pay for all repairs!!!!!!!!!!!
After replacing the battery, the car still wasn't holding a charge. No power, slow to turn over, etc. Took it to the dealership to see if they could duplicate the problem. Of course they couldn't... big surprise!! They had it all day, drove it around and couldn't find a problem. My husband drove it for 5 min. and decided to test the alternator. Guess what? It checked out "bad" and he called the dealership to see if a bad alternator could cause the problems he described. They said, sure, it could cause all kinds of symptoms/problems! Amazing that my husband had the car 5 min. and figured it out while they had the car an entire day and couldn't diagnose the problem. On top of that they charged us $72 for checking the car out!!!! Luckily my husband was able to replace the alternator himself and we only had to pay for parts.
