What owners wrote

While pulling into a parking area the vehicle stalled without warning. As a result the steering column and brakes locked up. The dealer claimed that a power steering pump was installed on the vehicle. The power steering column is still whining and the brakes are still grinding and the starter is still hesitating.

The gauges messed up first none of the gauges work sometimes the speed odometer will move but does not work . The car also when accelrating the gas it wont go the way it should it takes along time to build up speed. I have spent a lot of money on this car trying to get it to run proper I have replaced the transmission and I have had it in the shop at g.m.c to have the issue with the fuel system issue they replaced a part but it did not resolve the problem they had no idea what the problem was and this was teague…
