Example complaints

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

“Tire pressure monitoring system failed repeatedly during warranty by not showing one or two of the tires pressure. Was never repaired at the GM service, only reset. The defect reappeared in 3 days to 6 months after the reset. Initially would appear while driving on highway. Now at over 100,000km it failed for all 4 wheels. I did not attempt to do anything about this yet. The absence of tire pressure information may cause accidents due to lack of information about loss of pressure in tires.”

On four occasions, the vehicle would not defrost and heat up at temperatures between 45-59 degrees. The dealer stated that nothing could be done. …”
