Example complaints

Steering: “My vehicle recently experienced an electronic power steering failure while driving. The vehicle became significantly difficult to steer and I was fortunately traveling in a straight line and at a slow speed. If I had been traveling at highway speeds and in a corner the suddenness of the event could have quite possibly been catastrophic. The vehicle has 49k miles and I have owned the vehicle since new for approximately 25 months. …”

Seat belts: “I purchased a vehicle from a Chevrolet dealership, but I am not allowed to take it home. It sits on the dealer lot awaiting a fix for the seatbelt based on a recall. It's been almost a month since the seatbelt recall was announced but neither general motors, nor Chevrolet has given any indication of a timeline for the fix, or what the fix will be. The vehicle is currently stationary, parked on the back lot of the Chevrolet dealership near my house. …”

NHTSA complaint #10892578, filed 2016-08, 17 miles

Electrical system: “The blind spot sensor started not to work sporadically started not to work at 36,500 miles. Now they don't work at all and at least I am notified of this two to three times every use of the vehicle. Talked and researched this which is a common issue with GM cars and trucks of my cars vintage. Gm knew of the design issue before they built the car but didn't replace it.”

NHTSA complaint #11353118, filed 2020-09, 36,500 miles

Lane departure: “service side detection system and park assist unavailable , are errors due to water intrusion to proximity sensors. In addition sensor modules are physically bulging and there was some corrosion on my passenger side harness connector and visible rust inside both modules' connectors.
