Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My ignition also switches off due to the key chain being to heavy, I would like my vehicle fixed as well. I think GM is not telling the whole story on how many vehicle are affected by the ignition switches. I can prove my claim by attaching my two key chains together again and the problem will occur again.”

NHTSA complaint #10577755, filed 2014-04, 80,128 miles

“A/c does not cool properly. I have been to the dealer twice for this problem. First time vehicle was still under warranty. There is a TSB out on this problem and dealer insisted that A/C was cooling properly. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty, it still has the same A/C problem. The vehicle now needs a $175 A/C service, TSB still not performed. My vehicle met all the criteria to have this performed before my warranty ran out, and still does.”
