Example complaints

“My wife and I were travelling south on I-95 in philadelphia in our 2014 Verano t w/keyless ignition. I was driving, and reached up with my right hand to adjust the center left vent. After adjusting the vent, I noticed that the A/C had turned off, and that the tachometer had fallen to zero. …”
NHTSA complaint #10725050, filed 2015-06, 5,175 miles“This is my second complaint. My wife forgot to press the stop engine button again because of a distraction. As a result she burned a quarter tank of gas while she was gone from the vehicle. Why is there not a safety shut off like the ten minute shut off in remote start mode? If this was in my integral garage I could be dead from carbon monoxide. Is this another shove it under the rug like the GM key scandal. Since so many vehicles are going to this technology why hasn't this been looked at? My wife is only 61 and in good health. What of the older folks with problems to do?”
NHTSA complaint #10577648, filed 2014-04, 7,000 miles“While driving at approx 70 MPH my knee bumped the key/ignition and the car turned off. I believe the key actually turned in the ignition. This appears to be the result of the combination of the location of the ignition switch, the design of the key fob and the key chain and tag that the rental car company uses. I was driving on the interstate in moderately heavy traffic. I had the cruise control engaged so my foot was not pressing the accelerator. I had the sole of my shoe flat on the floor and my knee bent. I was approximately 3 hours into a long trip and idly shifted my position. …”
NHTSA complaint #10637193, filed 2014-09, 15,600 miles“Engine cut off with no warning sign, symbol while driving down the road. Coasted off the road, had vehicle towed to mechanic. Took three quarts of oil to register on stick. Oil and filter was changed about a month and a half ago. Again, no low oil pressure, engine service light, etc. No warning just stopped running. Was on a rural road, had this happened on the interstate or highway it would have been horrible. The mechanic says the engine has lost compression and recommends a new motor. …”
NHTSA complaint #11100455, filed 2018-06, 123,000 miles“Actuator has gone out at 28,000 miles which has to do with the timing chain. It sounds like this is a design issue with the Verano. It is in the shop and has been for two weeks.”
