Example complaints

2009: “I went to replace /repair my vehicle and there was a 5 month back order for a hybrid battery from china. If I have to wait that long for GM to produce parts they should recall the vehicle. I tried to use an aftermarket program and I'm still having issues with my truck. Hybrid is important for the car as the vehicle goes into limp mode with limited power or no throttle response at all.”
