Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was turning onto route 32 my car lost power, was shaking, and vibrating; the check engine light also came on. I took the car to the dealership. They told me the issue is being investigated under general motors and to continue to drive the vehicle even though it was a hazard to my life as it could happen again at any time.”
NHTSA complaint #11234339, filed 2019-07, 29,600 miles“After 3 months of having my new vehicle, my AC would blow hot air. I contacted the dealer brought it in and was told there was nothing wrong with the AC. Waited about another month and it still was blowing hot air. I brought it to a different dealer and was told about issues with the AC and sure enough it had to be repaired.”
NHTSA complaint #11276889, filed 2019-10, 5,000 miles“My 2018 chevy Traverse have an issue going in park every time I put it in park the dash indicates shift to park and I can't turn the vehicle ignition off I contact the dealer and they said there is an issue with the shifter that they'll replace it this problem is really annoying and I have to sit there and play with the shifter until it goes off. This is a know issue and a recall needs to be done.”
NHTSA complaint #11278058, filed 2019-11, 32,000 miles“I woke up this morning and my remote key do not want to connect with the vehicle. I thought my battery die but that wasn't the case. The car would not start, locked or unlocked. The car always in my garage. I had to put the key in the transmitter pocket in order for the car start. This is very inconvenience.”
NHTSA complaint #11109699, filed 2018-07, 15,438 miles“Shortly after purchase, my car would not acknowledge being put in park. I would shift the control to park but would get warnings park was not engaged. I took it in for repair. Now I am getting a message to service parking brake. This seems to be a problem with this vehicle. I do not use the parking brake, so I can't understand why service is needed. Both problems were when car was in park. The 'service parking brake' warning stays on while driving.”
