Example complaints

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

“I am responsible for purchasing vehicles for our company and we currently have a 2005 and 2008 Chevrolet express and we just sold a 2004 and all have the same problem- the instrument cluster panel stops working and we have no speedometer. I have a 2004 blazer with the same problem. The repair is $700 and GM refuses to recall the vehicles for a problem that has been going on since 2002 and of course driving without a speedometer creates a safety issue.”
