Example complaints

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

“A loud rattling noise was coming from under the hood and the had no A/C. After looking under hood, found the belt had split in two. I replaced the A/C belt on a 2002 chevy suburban and after doing this, noticed the belt tensioner was rattling a great deal so replaced it. When I received the belt tensioner from the parts store, enclosed was a warning/alert message to refer to GM tbs # 03-01-38-019a after reviewing this information, I don't understand why the customer should have to pay to replace the A/C compressor when they know it is a default on 17 vehicles from the years 2002 to 2004. …”
