“I took my vehicle in for the seat belt recall. The recall was performed, leaving questions. How does removing the sleeve on the seat belt and replacing it with shrink wrap plastic make this safer? There is now nothing to prevent the seat belt cable from rubbing on the sides of the now hole where the sleeve was. Not to mention this leaves this area looking terrible and unfinished.”
NHTSA complaint #10618265, filed 2014-08, 40,000 miles“On august 6, 2014 we had our vehicle serviced by the dealer due to an airbag recall and at the time the vehicle had 38,000 miles. Shortly there after we noticed a grinding noise when we made a right hand turn. At first it happened intermittently but eventually it became noticeable at low rates of speed (5 - 10 MPH). Today we took the vehicle to the dealership for the third recall this being the power steering pump. We were informed that this was covered by GM but we also had a leak in our rack and pinion and it would cost $1200 to repair. …”

NHTSA complaint #11390875, filed 2021-01, 111,729 miles“Drivers side seat belt has started to frey. The car radio doesn't shut off when it's supposed to. It stays on even once door is opened. You must sit in the car and wait for it to turn off. Thinking there may be some type of electrical problem, but no one seems to know how to fix it....not even the dealership.”
