“The headlights on my Impala have some sort of discoloration inside the headlight assembly it's beginning to block the amount of lumens coming through for my lights to see. I'm certain this is a safety concern because they were designed to put out a certain number of lumens for night driving and now they aren't”
NHTSA complaint #11317717, filed 2020-03, 40,000 miles“When my side detection monitoring system failed a few months ago I took it to a local dealer. They responded telling me that, unfortunately, the design for this sensor module/harness is completely flawed. The sensors are located in the rear bumper, with plastic housing. There is no weather protection, even though these are directly behind the tires and are exposed to all weather - plus I live in il so we're talking rain, snow, salt, etc. It's two sensors and the harness. …”
NHTSA complaint #11176241, filed 2019-02, 97,000 miles“I pulled into my garage and cut of my car. After opening the door my seat wouldn't move forward like it always does. That's when my dash board gave me an error message stating that I need to roll my driver side window down. So, I did that but the next day my navigation system was off along with my radio and on-star system. So I drove to the gas station before heading to work, and when I tried to get in my car the power was off. I went under-hood to see if the battery was loose but it wasn't. …”
NHTSA complaint #11343831, filed 2020-08, 97,864 miles“Around 3 years ago. 3 parts the lane departure modules control are the blind spot sensors, rear backup sensors and a front camera. My lane departure modules got wet and messed up my car where there were many things going wrong. While I was driving my car said the air bag went off, theft was detected, blower fan & temp controls where going on and off while I was driving. 2 years ago GM agreed to replace the modules. The dealership said they were having problems with the programming of the modules. They finally got them to program. …”
NHTSA complaint #11340416, filed 2020-07, 87,000 miles“While driving, several functions in the car will turn off. Functions include heating/ cooling system, lights (dashboard lights), doors lock/ unlock and collision systems turns off. I've researched online and found several other customers have had the same issues ranging back to 2018. I've taking my car to a GM dealership and found that the sensor malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. I also found the sensor is on back order, which makes me believe this is a larger issue than I thought and some one needs to investigate further. …”
