Well I first had a problem with my car under warranty and Bob Moore in Oklahoma City replaced my throttle body, and my power steering pump. Then at about 36,000 miles I went back again for my rpm gauge revving up and done in idle and same thing happened I took it back they worked on the same part, but said the problems was fixed. Then I take it back again because the same day I received my vehicle back it was worse, I thought I had put bad gas in it because it was idling so hard, and then it started shutting off. I called and ranted about my car being a lemon piece of crap and then they were so helpful that they took my car in to check the problem, which they still gave me a rental( since I drive 4 hours each way) to take home. I go to pick my fixed car supposedly and I get a block down the road, and put gas in my car and it shutters so hard my car almost cut off in traffic. I'm so pissed by this time that I just wanna trade this piece of crap, but they think they can find the problem. Well I just received my car back, and drove to Dallas which is about two hours and my car stats rpm jumping again. I am a mother of two kids and I need a dependable care. Do not buy this car, this is the worst investment I have ever made in a vehicle. I looked at this car because it had really good ratings on all the research sites, well i wouldn't use any of those sites again, my husband and I will be ok cause we can afford to trade this piece of sh*t car off and pay of our stupid mistake. Many parents and single parents cannot. This is a family vehicle, and this has cost my family a lot of time, and inconvenience to get it fixed. Again I can't say enough, stay away from this car.

When the vibration happened when I left my house. Then when I went to the store it happened again after starting the car back up and driving for a few feet. I called the Clarksville MD dealership and they told me to bring it in the next day. When I took it to the dealership they drove it and the service technician said they did not feel nor hear anything so there was nothing they could do. Stating that the car was so new, that it might be bolt sand nuts settling into place. The car had 7 miles when I purchases it on 7-31-15...BRAND NEW. I drove off the lot...SAME NOISE!

So I did a little research online and came up with nothing. I took it back to the dealership on 8/25 and requested a service manager to drive with me, he felt and heard the noise. Advised me to leave my car so they could run more tests because he had never heard nor felt this vibration in the gas pedal and gear shift. They have me a 2015 Buick Enclave loaner..guess what..LOL...that car made the same exact noise/vibration. My car was in the shop for 4 days.

The service manager said that they contacted GMC and there are no active recalls for the issue, no other drivers nor dealers have reported this issue. Due to lack of issues being filed for the problem there is no fix to an 'no existent issue', so I had to come and pick up my car.

I AM FURIOUS! This car is less than a month old, I haven't even made my first payment and this car is giving me issues that the manufacture and service department can not even fix. I called GM directly before going to the dealership to pick up my car and they opened a file number and said they were going to check on it and call me back. I of course had to call and call them back because they show no lack of concern for their cars with a defect and are not willing to fix it. To this very moment, I am still having an issue! I have documented every call to the dealership and GMC until I get this issue resolved.
