Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Plastic dashboard is cracking. Gmc dealer quoted a $1,000.00 replacement cost. Dealer proposed my cost would be $600.00. Same dealer replaced cracked dashboard once before at no cost to me. This certainly appears to be a manufacturer's defect but dealer disagrees.”
