1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2016

The trucks been handling fine and all of the sudden the oil pan blows out on the truck and I think it threw a rod. Which is not my fault a piece came apart or came out of the engine causing all that pressure to build up and mess it up. The vehicle was in motion not going over 60.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2001

The passenger seat does not lock in place at all. Seat frame, and seat tracks replaced several times without any luck. I bought this truck as a certified GMC truck with 17k miles. The passenger seat would not lock from day 1. Dealer has no idea how to fix the problem. Afraid of possible injuries/fatalities to a passenger if involved in a collision. The seat slides all the way forward, and all the way back freely, and will not lock. When repairs have been attempted, the seat stays locked for an hour or so, or until it is adjusted any amount forward or reverse. In the 11 months of ownership, it has lost $6000 in blue book value, and so I owe more than it is worth. So I am stuck with a defective truck. My next vehicle is not going to be a GMC. This is not the only complaint for this problem to NHTSA, and the dealer admits there is a problem. Need a recall badly! help!.

6 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2000

Windshield wiper delay is defective. Big oak pontiac/GMC in bartow, FL tried to repair and claims to have replaced the necessary component, but the repair was never effective. The problem is that the delay sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work at all and sometimes works but with erratic time intervals between wipes. The problem with the seat is the passenger seat does not lock in place after the seat has been tilted forward. ***** dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/03 cut-over to artemis*****750084.
