“I bought a brand new 2016 chevy TRAX on 10/31/16. One week later, I went into the garage, got into my new car which stated right away but I had no dashboard lights so I had no idea what speed I was traveling. I had no radio or rear camera back up. I had no onstar service or telephone service. The only thing that worked was my heater. When I turned my turn signal on to make a turn I couldn't hear it clicking but could see the reflection of the flashing front turn signal light on the bumper in front of me as well as my headlights shining on the car in front of me. …”
