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.
Vehicle will stop without prior notice. At times, vehicle will not start. Dealership is aware of problem. The vehicle stall six times. The consumer would like to know if the vehicle can be declared lemon.
Valve seals on original/new engine seated improperly causing excessive oil use and engine misfire. Valve seals replaced by dealer per GMC notice socmp96C17. Two months later in January, 1997, valve seals #4 and #6 again failed with same symptoms but were replaced by dealer since failure took place within a year of original GMC notice. In 1999 same symptoms again showed up but when I took it to the dealer in June, 1999, they would not replace the seals because GMC said they were no longer covered. GMC dealer had assured me in January, 1997, that seals would be covered as long as I owned the vehicle.
