NHTSA complaint #11343430, filed 2020-08, 38,400 miles“Squealing sound, mostly after taking a left turn, as if it were coming from left rear tire and also a sound coming from steering wheel. Notified by onstar I may have an issue with both ABS system or stabilitrak system. Sound is intermittent so when I brought to my mechanic it did not make the sound so he could not diagnose where it was coming from- no charge. One day later it started again. It sounds scary and I hope nothing happens if it is the brake system. This is why I sent this complaint in. …”
NHTSA complaint #11297856, filed 2020-01, 48,000 miles“Steering to the left, but not always, there is a squealing noise. Continues to squeal driving straight and then stops. It is intermittent so when brought to my mechanic, he couldn't resolve. Charged me nothing. Didn't do it for a day and then I received a notification from onstar that there was an issue with my ABS system and a second notification that stabilitrak system had an issue. It is very loud at times. I also have a squealing noise coming from the steering wheel and that is intermittent also.”
NHTSA complaint #11297852, filed 2020-01, 48,000 miles“Issue # 1-the wiper blades stopped working during a rain storm and were stuck midway on the windshield right in my site line while on o long 9 hour trip. I checked the engine compartment area after stopping the vehicle in a safe area. The turned on the wiper control inside the car and could hear the motor but no viper movement occurred. The control unit for the wipers seemed to be inaccessible as there is a large sealed housing over the area covering the wiper motor so I was unable to access or try to repair myself. …”
NHTSA complaint #11297307, filed 2020-01, 94,000 miles“I've attached my final repair notice to GM and it has all of the details. I have since taken my car back to the dealership to have the final repair done. They still say nothing is wrong with it. I am terrified to drive my car. I asked GM to take the car back and they say they are not willing to do anything at all to help me. The transmission is jerky and the brakes barely work. Please investigate. Its like GM would like to wait until there is a huge accident and loss of life before doing anything.”
