“It had rained the night before and I came out to start my car and noticed that my driver side airbag was leaking water and there was a puddle of water on the floor board and water was dripping from my emergency brake. It has done this several times since then and I'm afraid my airbag won't work properly if I was ever in a wreck.”
NHTSA complaint #10704424, filed 2015-04, 86,000 miles“I have had to replace a transmission on a car with just over 55000 miles. The windows leak when sitting outside in the rain. The power steering locks up when you drive thru a puddle. The braking system makes some god awful noise when going on or off a ramp. This was our very first brand new off the line car. Really wish we had waited until the bugs were worked out.”
NHTSA complaint #10632664, filed 2014-09, 58,000 miles“Going down the high way the stabilitrack light comes on after turning off the car turning it back on it goes out the light hasn't came back on its been a couple months it only comes on when driving far. Also have a problem with the brakes they go all the way to the floor hard to stop the car. My girlfriend told me about the problem I drove it myself to see if it would do it to me never did till today I almost hit 2 cars”
NHTSA complaint #10821952, filed 2016-01, 197,600 miles“My vehicle began giving a stabilitrak notification. I took the vehicle in to identify the issue I was told by the GM service department that the master cylinder was leaking into the booster and would eventually cause the brakes to fail. Upon further research I have found several individuals who have dealt with the same issue. This is obviously a factory issue that is eventually going to cause injury or possibly fatality.”
NHTSA complaint #10722085, filed 2015-05, 65,000 miles“My power steering groans and moans when turning at low speeds. Turning the wheel is very difficult even for me being a male. The noise is very annoying and may affect the steering. The car is for my family of three kids and wife --- not sure they should be driving this anymore. I called the a Gmc service dealer and they said they have heard of very similar issues waiting back to hear if they will repair this. …”
