Example complaints

“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“I purchased my 2016 Chevrolet ss sedan in december of 2016. Part of the infotainment 'mylink' system is an app that controls pandora, an internet radio program, via a bluetooth connection on the touchscreen of the radio. With this system, the user is able to change tracks, change stations, view what's playing, and play/pause, all while the user's phone is stowed away for driving. Pandora is my primary source of music these days, as the car does not come with a cd player, and I choose not to pay for xm satellite radio, and rarely find anything to my liking on an fm or am station. …”
NHTSA complaint #10980557, filed 2017-04, 4,000 miles“A few days ago I was heading home from work and sport mode automatically turned on and the “service power steering” warning came on. Then the steering wheel stiffened up 2 times for a few seconds while I was driving. I looked into it and there was a recall before I purchased the vehicle and it was repaired also. But it is the same problem. I contacted the dealer ship but they said there’s no warranty on recalls. I did purchase the car from a used car dealership and still paying it. Car still isn’t running and seems like an expensive repair.”
