Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Windshield wipers came on an off by themselves once the knob was turned to the on position. Wipers were repaired at the consumer's expense by the dealership. A few years later, the same thing. Consumer feels GM should cover the cost of the next repair. She noted she can't drive the vehicle if there is a possibility of rain and normally there are children in the vehicle. One time it started to rain, she had to pull over and wait until the rain slowed down to drive home. This is a major safety hazard.”
