Example complaints

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

“If you are driving in the rain and you have your high beams on the doors will unlock. The wipers will turn off, the RPM's race high accelerating the car into almost a spin if you do not counter correct the steering. The engine and radio shuts off at random times as well. Had a diagnostic check done, nothing wrong with the engine, electrical systems, battery or alternator. Was told it is a manufacturer is with the computer system, but NHTSA will not address the issue until someone get's killed, so general motors will not fix it, until they are in probate court. …”
