Example complaints

“Ok- just to let u know we no longer have this vehicle. I was to scared that my family would get seriously injured in this vehicle. The stability track would cause this vehicle to decrease engine speed. I would have to pull over on a highway, shut the vehicle off and reset until I could bring it to the dealer. After seven times at dealership after several years, I could not trust it. It was not very dependable. Please now that the light has been brought on regarding GM and the cruze vehicle, please recall this year model. So scared someone will be seriously injured. …”
NHTSA complaint #10577475, filed 2014-04, 140,000 miles“My 2007 Tahoe has had a transmission/slip/bumping problem and it was first noticed by me about a month after I got it back in april. It has gotten worse the more that I drive it. It has 5900 miles on it and has been to the shop once for the problem. It was not taken care of and now it has been brought to my attention that this is actually a common problem and that it has been made aware of years ago in the older versions. I'm not at all happy about this.”
NHTSA complaint #10205798, filed 2007-10, 200 miles“We have had several problems with this vehicle. We've had tires replaced twice, rotors, and brakes resurfaced, and rear-end dropped so the springs could be adjusted. But the biggest problem has been with the roaring in the motor. The dealership has had the vehicle for more than 20 days on and off looking for this noise. I've had it to them 8 times or so trying to find it. The noise didn't start until around 3,000 miles, and gets worse and easier to duplicate with more miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10236017, filed 2008-07, 3,000 miles“I have a 2007 Tahoe. I have 5,700 miles on it and my tires are feathered and ruined. Took it back to the dealer, and they said to rotate to back and drive it another 5000 miles and see if the front tires do the same thing. I feel like there should have been more done, but they did nothing. I now would like to know my options. I fear for the safety of my family while driving in this vehicle. The dealership said this is the first reported case and they want us to be the guinea pigs and see what happens.”
NHTSA complaint #10163987, filed 2006-07, 5,736 miles“After only one month of purchase auto start feature does not work unless you were 3 feet away. The vehicle once sat over night would make a really loud clattering sound when you would turn on the engine. I took the car into the dealer and told them about the problems the dealer indicated that they had to reprogram the software in the Tahoe to reprogram auto start. The next morning I was called and informed that they were unable to reproduce the clattering sound and that nothing wrong was detected with the vehicle so that it was ready for pick up. Everything was o.k. …”
