Example complaints

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

“6 months ago my infotainment screen started flashing and the cd would occasionally pop out of the player on its own. The music would turn itself off then come back on, startling me as it would be accompanied by a loud static or popping sound. It started off intermittently, then the screen went completely black and the music stopped working completely except for the constant buzzing/static sound accompanied by clicking as though something is trying to turn on. …”

“Brake fluid reservoir leaking and dripping over engine internals. This is a known issue with GM: see service bulletin: 09-05-22-005c. However, GM is stating this will not be repaired unless the vehicle is still under warranty. Upon encountering some braking issues with the vehicle, I inspected the reservoir and discovered the leaking fluid, which has started to eat away at the paint in the engine bay. I'm very concerned the fluid will leak out and cause a fire, or cause my breaks to stop working completely. …”

“I have a manual v8 model. Whenever stopped on an incline, the hill start assist (hsa) engages. The first time I gave it plenty of throttle and the brakes would not disengage and caused me to stall. The 2nd time, I had the RPM very high and again the brakes would not disengage. My car was jumping up and down under the strain. When it finally released the car, I was greeted with the smell of burning clutch. This cannot be normal. I don't think hitting 2000 RPM and dropping the clutch should be a normal method to overcome teh hsa system. …”

“The high mount LED brake light is mounted on the rear windshield at an angle that receives direct heat from the sun causing a slim crack on the brake LED board. The crack will shift back and forth sometimes illuminating when braking but at times the slim crack on the LED board will prevent the lamp from illuminating causing an immediate safety hazard to passengers of insufficient brake notification to traffic following behind. A replacement LED lamp will suffer the same fate based on the angle of the lamp positioned facing the direct heat of the sun. …”
