“Abs stablility traction lights come on and the car dies I have no power steering or breaking power and my car is still moving. Gm did the petal recall to it thinking that would fix it, it did and has not. This is a death trap I have lost faith in driving this car. How is this not a safety issue??? Has happened twice.”
NHTSA complaint #10789568, filed 2015-11, 110,000 miles“Takata recall.. All of my warning dash lights are on at times or the whole dash, radio and everything go out then comes back, the ignition has been pausing before it turns over, the front end of the car rattles, ABS, t/c and air bags warning lights are almost always on.. I have replaced 1000.00s of dollars to fix the problem and nothing changes. I have replaced the wheel hubs, ignition module, the 700.00 part for the ecbm, nothing changes, I believe its an electrical problem that no one has been to find. It doesnt matter if the car is stationary, in motion or where I am driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #11152270, filed 2018-11, 112,000 miles“Abs stability tracking lights come on, car dies no power steering or brakes seems like a safety issue driving a car that is still moving with no steering or brakes. In the past the fuse box under the hood caught on fire and my electric seats would not shut off and burnt out.”
