Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Air condition quit blowing cold air. Took it to the place where I bought the vehicle. They performed a dye test and found that dye was coming from AC drain from fire wall. Verified refrigerant leaking from evaporator. Judging from other complaints on here, I believe that the repairs should be fully paid for.”

NHTSA complaint #11322931, filed 2020-05, 80,000 miles“The left side warning system does not work or works less the 10% of the time. Will not tell me if I am in reverse if an object is coming from left side and will not tell me if a car is approaching me on left side either,”
NHTSA complaint #11205189, filed 2019-05, 60,000 miles“Closed the driver door on car, heard a what sounded like an explosion from over head. Discovered that rear sunroof panel had exploded, glass pieces had fallen onto sliding visor panel. Had been sitting stationary in the sun. I took it to the dealer. Without question they said it was a warranty item (car 2 months old). Was told by dealership personnel that this was the second exploded panel they have seen this week on a GM vehicle. While driving to the dealership, glass shards flew off the roof scratching the rear deck painted surface.”
