Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving within the city in winter, the windshield suddenly became fogged over and the smell of coolant was noticed inside the vehicle. I was unable to see out the windshield and had to pull over. After parking I noticed a small drip of coolant under the center console. A local independent garage found the heater core to be ruptured. The heater core was replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10310439, filed 2010-02, 84,150 miles“The defroster failed when needed. This condition resulted in a completely obstructed windshield with reduced visibility while driving. The lost visibility could have resulted in an accident, injury or death. The A/C electrical circuits were found to have a blown fuse. A TSB was found by the dealer, and this is a known defect by GM. The fuse was replaced.”
