“The gasket on a rear light deteriorated causing a leak in the trunk of the car. First addressed it with the dealership in the fall of 2019. They said they couldn't find anything. Happened again as covid began. When the dealership was able, they tried to repair the car and to remove the mold that had grown & did an ionizing treatment. They said it didn't work. Asked us to contact chevy customer service. We've been waiting since may 8 for resolution to the mold issue. The car is now beyond repair. We've sent numerous emails and called repeatedly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11340963, filed 2020-07, 26,500 miles“I started noticing a very bad odor of mold and mildew coming from the A/C vents. I took the car into the dealer I purchased in early 2014. The dealer said they looked at it and could not find anything wrong. After I took it in again for a bad odor, they said there was a recall on the rear tail lights letting water in the trunk.

I started checking everywhere and found the carpet in the front driver seat very wet. …”

The airbag on light stays on. There is no code triggered in the system. This also causes the unbuckled passenger seatbelt warning to chime with no passenger in the seat.”
NHTSA complaint #11516150, filed 2023-04“GM had sent a letter in March 2020 about a known defect with the passenger presence module that wires could become disconnected over time, leading to a service airbag message and the passenger airbag failing to deploy when commanded.
