Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is an air vent located next to accelerator with fins slanted downwards. Shoes such as tennis shoes hang up on the vent as you try to release the accelerator. Have to pull your foot out of the hang up which causes delays and distractions. Dealer says no known fix and that this is not identified as a problem by GM.”
