“The drivers side of the car suddenly started blowing only hot air, while the passenger side was cold. The air-conditioning was set on maximum cool with both temperature sliders set to their maximum coldest setting. After checking on the internet, I found numerous message boards with thousands of GM owners complaining of the same issue.”

“Purchased the option called driver info center which gives you gal of fuel used, range you can drive on the remaining fuel in tank, mile per gallon, temperature features. The unit was off by 4 gal with a 17 gal tank. Gm admits it is 18% off and refuses to fix the unit because not enough people know it doesn't work the way it should yet they continue to sell it.”
