Description of the problem | Nothing specifically happened, but i'm wanting to make a complaint regarding issues with my car. At 30k miles, i had a power steering leak in which the pump was replaced under warranty. In for servicing today, now told i have another leak, but this time the gear assembly needs to be replaced. Cost is 1800. I have done some research online and discovered that this is an ongoing issue in which there have been numerous complaints and it seems that nothing is being done. So far i have been one of the fortinate ones and have not been injured or injured someone else. I have had ongoing issues since purchasing my car new. This is the one repeat issue thus far and definitely most expensive so far. I do not understand how gmc can put out a defective part/car without taking any responsibility. Some of us can not afford to keep buying cars. I buy a new car, follow all recommended servicing and it's still not enough. As a consumer what rights do i have? From my vantage point, none. I do not know where to go or what rights i have, but saw suggestions on the acadiaforum to file complaint here or at least have my voice heard. |
