“On 8/6/2019 around five in the morning as I was leaving work on a city street, my right signal light just came on and hasn't cut off yet, no matter what I do it won't cut off. I checked all fuses and checked the whole car and found nothing”
NHTSA complaint #11253595, filed 2019-09, 78,652 miles“My radio which controls everything regarding charging and bluetooth, it has a touch screen which has now become completely unresponsive. The only time it will ever let you touch like normal is if the car sits under the hot summer sun. And even then the screen starts touching random parts of the screen messing up settings . It had issues calibrating every now and then when I purchased it also. That was in winter.”

The battery rapidly depleted without warning, causing the vehicle to decelerate dangerously in moving traffic. A Stabilitrak warning appeared on the display. I was fortunate to reach the shoulder safely, but this failure created an extremely hazardous situation that could have resulted in serious injury or death. Following this incident, the vehicle became completely inoperable and required towing to Stewart Chevrolet for diagnosis. …”

Also overhead light is unresponsive and flickers when it wants to. Subsequently these issues have required me to have 5 new batteries replaced since owning this car.
