1995 GMC SUBURBAN Power Train Problems

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. SUDDENLY VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK THE CONSUMER HAS REPLACE THREE TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS LAST FAILURE CAUSED TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE NEARLY CAUSING A FIRE. *NM

Mileage: 146,329

IGNITION SYSTEM FAILED TWICE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AND REMAINS IN 2ND GEAR. THE SPEEDOMOTER DOESN'T WORK AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP. THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT ALSO GOES OUT. I CONTACTED TWO LOCAL GM DEALERS. BOTH MACHANICS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG, AS THEY HAVE MANY COME IN LARELY WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY KNEW THE EXACT PRICE AND TIME IT TAKES TO PUT THE PART IN BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE SO MANY OF THEM LATELY. IN FACT, ONE OF THE MECHANICS REPLIED THAT HE IS SURPRISED THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED THIS PART YET. HE'S REPLACED SO MANY OF THEM.*AK

WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND BEING DRIVEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FAILS TO REGISTER AT ALL, ONCE SPEED REACHES 30 TO 40 MPH THE VEHICLE PERFORMS NORMALLY BUT THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER STILL DOESN'T WORK . THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. *AK *NLM

WHILE DRIVING GAUGES STARTED TO WORK ERRATICALLY. PULLED OVER, AND NOTICED SOMETHING LEAKING UNDER CAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A CRACK IN CASING. *AK

DURING WINTER VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. ALSO, HAS A JERKING MOTION WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. *AK

TRANMISSION REPLACED BY PITRE, UNDER WARRANTY. SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED THIS SUMMER. REASON? CRACKED HOUSING. NOTHING WRONG WITH MECHANICAL. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONCE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION. I FEEL THE HOUSING IS FAULITY. NOW THE A/C UNIT FAILED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC PRODUCT.

4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED, FIXED BUT FAILED AGAIN.

THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE IS RUSTED THROUGH, CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF THE TRUCK. TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *AK

TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP ON OCCASIONS.

EVERY WEEK IN THIS MONTH A TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. *AK CONSUMER ALSO STATED THAT STARTER WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE TORQUE CONVERTER.*JB

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INDICATER CAN BE MOVED WITHOUT KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION SWITCH.PLEASE DESCRIBE. *AK
