Example complaints

“I was driving on a nicely paved road (no bombs, potholes, etc...) when all of a sudden my dashboard cracked! It is now rattling and jiggling and causes a distraction to my line of sight as I'm driving. I went to my dealership and was told that it is not covered under my warranty and I will have to pay the whole amount out of pocket to have it repaired.”
NHTSA complaint #10907969, filed 2016-09, 99,000 miles“The dashboard on my vehicle is cracking in two different places. One area is right in front of the drivers seat and the other is in front of the passengers seat where the front airbag is located. I just noticed this problem on november 18, 2018.”
NHTSA complaint #11152330, filed 2018-11, 104,309 miles“On my vehicle brake oil was leaking my mechanic find that master cylinder leak. After changing the master cylinder when I start driving my brakes got locked. I park the car when it's cool down brake released but same thing happened when I start driving . So my mechanic changed the brake booster but now strange thing happening that brake pedal goes all the way down to floor and it's barely brakes. Just left the SUV on a chevorellet dealer ship see what they will say. But this is definitelya safety issue because there is no way brake should go all the way to floor and barely brake.”
NHTSA complaint #11233577, filed 2019-07, 280,000 miles“In september 2014, I noticed my dash above the instrument cluster cracking. I purchased this car as a GM certified used car with original factory warrantee in april 2013 with 60081 miles on it. In less than 5 months of ownership it developed this crack while still under factory warrantee. I took it to my local dealer with all my paperwork and they said it was not covered, nor would they replace it. This crack has developed due to no fault of my own from neglect, excess wear and tear, excess sunlight or anything other than manufacture flaw. …”
NHTSA complaint #10762712, filed 2015-09, 73,581 miles“Got in my SUV this morning to leave for work and noticed a huge crack middle way of the dash coming up to the top hump where controls are located. As I have researched I see there are many complaints regarding this issue. When paying over $30,000.00 for a vehicle, you should not have to be reporting cracks on your dash. I feel this may cause an issue with airbags going off as they should if ever in an accident. This should most definitely be repaired by GM asap. If there are this many issues with all GM makes then there is obviously a problem that needs to be addressed.”
