Air Conditioner problem #1

When the air conditioner (a/c) is used it takes at least eight minutes for the cool air to flow. There is a foul odor coming from the vents that smells like rotten eggs. Also, consumer is concerned with the sound of the engine. Although the vehicle is equipped with a gas engine, it sounds like a diesel engine. There is a irritating noise that occurs intermittently at any speed. The dealer claims that the noise is normal. Engine burns 3 qts. Of oil every 3000 miles and the fuel gauge isn't accurate.

Mechanical Jack problem #2

Jack that comes with vehicle has a head that is about one inch in diameter. Consumer believes that jack cannot properly lift vehicle. The consumer states that it was difficult to safely use and remove this jack.

Equipment problem #3

I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that has been losing coolant for about 2 years now. I was told it was a common problem with these trucks just wandering why nothing has been done.
