This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My car began leaking a significant amount of oil in front of and behind the left front tire. My local dealer suggested I bring the car in to be inspected. It was diagnosed as having a badly leaking oil cooling line. They said the parts for this repair are on a 7-10 day back order because the problem is so common. I am extremely concerned that this is such a common problem in vehicles of my class, but GMC has not recalled or sent out a service notice. I am really glad that I noticed the leak when I did. I was about an hour away from leaving on a trip. I am 7 months pregnant and would have been traveling with my 3 year old daughter. That would have been a very difficult situation for me to be in, had the oil line blown. I had noticed approximately 12 drips of oil on my garage floor where I park the car, over the last 30 days. That wasn't much oil compared the the grapefruit sized puddles now leaking from my car. I think that GMC is aware that this is a serious problem and they should send a service notice to their patrons.
