Bought an 06 GMC Sierra 2500-vin#1GDHC24U16E127219 from Eagle GMC of Homosassa 1/26/07-"for my business"-3 mos after purchase-power sources started to fail-replaced them twice, steering box went out twice-replaced-A/C resisters repeatedly going out & replaced-then the major problem-ticking came from underneth-truck wasnt running right, took it into-Eagle-they COMPARED it to another just like it-they didnt put up on stand & check noise or pull the transmission-said nothing was wrong with it-took it to Sullivan GMC of Ocala-2hrs away & more fuel to get there & back-they found it had a CRACKED FLYWHEEL-they replaced it-approx 15,000mi later it broke again-they replaced it temporarily til the modified part came in, which was over a month later, they replaced it-approx another 15,000mi later-it breaks again-yet another modified part was installed-this is the 4th time-GMC did extend our warranty on the first modified part-as we complained about it going to happen again-which it did-now we are getting close to that warranty running out-and will have to pay out of pocket for repairs and still owe 4 more yrs on this defective truck.
This last time we asked GMC to compensate my missed work-replace the truck or refund our money for the defective truck they sold me-but they have refused to do anything further-"keep in mind this truck was purchased for my business and it cost me over $200 everytime its in the shop, for not being able to do my job"-they said I am out of my manufacturers warranty and they are sorry-is all they could say.
The only thing that is going to happen is that it will eventually break again & maybe it will be under the extended warranty and might be covered or NOT-also the modified parts are NOT GMC parts and are NOT covered under such warranty(LIFETIME GENUINE GMC PARTS) in the future. This is a defective power train and I was sold a deffective truck and shouldnt have to keep it or pay for it either-THIS TRUCK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD BE REFUNDED OR THEM ABSORB THE BALANCE DUE TO THE BANK! ALSO-GMC DOESNT CARE-THEY GOT PAID-SO THEY DONT GIVE A DAMN IF I DONT PAY FOR IT OR THAT I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A DEFFECTIVE TRUCK OR IF THE TRUCK FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY-I DONT OWE THEM FOR IT-I OWE A BANK!
DAMAGES CAUSED BY PROBLEMS:
I LOOSE MONEY WHEN I DONT HAVE MY TRUCK TO WORK FROM & IT IS A DANGER TO MY LIFE IF I WERE TO BREAK DOWN IN AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE NO CELL TOWERS FOR ME TO CALL FOR HELP OR IN AREAS OF CRIME-MY LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER IN THOSE CASES!ALSO IT IS GOING TO COST ME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR FUTURE REPAIRS-WHICH WILL HAPPEN-I HAVE NO DOUBT OF THIS-IT HAS BEEN CONSISTANT FAILURE OF THE FLYWHEEL APPROX EVERY 15,000 MILES
