Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Poor design and lack of clamping of the shift cable assembly has caused the shift cable to rub against the suction line, also creating a hole which has released the r12 to leak into the atmosphere. There are also environmental implications caused by this problem. This has also caused the A/C system to become inoperative and has also made the shift cable to weaken. Although this automobile is out of warranty, I believe it should be (GM) Buick's responsibility to make the necessary repairs at the company's / manufacturer's cost.”
