Example complaints

Air bags: “We bought a used 2014 EXPRESS 1500 cargo van from Chevrolet of montebello on may of 2017. The service air bag indicatior has appeared in my dashboard off and on since the day we bought it. As I conducted my personal research I came across a couple of articles stating that there was a recall for this particular cargo van for the service air bag. I went to the dealership and they had told me I had to pay $130 for diagnostics, when they had found out what the problem was , they were charging me a little over $500 to fix the problem.”

Tires: “The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet EXPRESS 1500. While driving at approximately 60 MPH, the front driver side tire blew out and caused the contact to crash into a wall four times. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact and a passenger sustained unknown injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.”

NHTSA complaint #10726064, filed 2015-06, 50,000 miles

Brakes: “My spouse was driving our family south on Hwy 101 at about 50 mph near Arch Cape, Oregon on June 25, 2022 during 93 degree weather. Just before Falcon Cove state park as we were going up a hill and people were braking to turn into the park, my spouse yelled we have no brakes . The brakes were hard as a wall and he was using both feet to get us to slow down. I could not feel us slowing. It was utterly terrifying. He did finally get us slowed down likely due to the weight we were carrying and the hill. …”
