Example complaints

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

“The vehicle was parked overnight (stationary) in a driveway. In the morning, there was a large crack in the windshield. I was not a particularly cold night (florida). I do not know the fault that caused the crack. It could be faulty tempering, faulty installation, or something else. It is unlikely for a windshield to spontaneously crack in a modern car without a fault.”

“When the vehicle is in motion an intermittent foul chemical type odor emits into the car through all of the A/C vents. I have been in contact with the general motors customer assistance, my dealership service department and the bbb autoline whom are all aware that there is a problem with the vehicle stated in a technical service bulletin and in a recall for the issue but GM states there is no repair to completely eliminate the condition at this time. …”

“Once I have warmed the car and put it in motion whether in reverse or forward as I slow down to come to a stop light or yield the car either starts to die or dies completely. I can try to push the drivers pedal and sometimes it will crank back up and continue in motion and sometimes, in the middle of traffic I might have to put on the brake, put it in park and start it all over again. This is very scary, very dangerous!!! Doesn't matter the type of road I am on. …”

“Two weeks after I purchased the brand new car it started acting up making loud screeching noises, and turning off on its own. The dealership said their was nothing wrong with it. Toom it in 4 times and yet nothing was wrong with the car according to them it was me. Finally they had to tow the car because it turned off on me good thing I was barely leaving my home and it's now been 8 months and nothing has been done to fix the car it's just sitting at the dealership because they can't figure out why it turns off on it's own. …”

“At seemingly random times the vehicle's cameras stop working. When this happens and the vehicle is in reverse gear, a blue screen with the message ' service rear vision system' appears. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer, but the problem has not occurred while there. I consider this problem a safety hazard. None of the cameras function when this problem occurs. I do not know if it impacts other safety features on the vehicle. This problem occurs when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly forwards or backwards.”
