Example complaints
Electrical system: “All three of my door locks no longer lock electronically. They must be locked manually. I have two children and this is a major safety concern. Many complaints have been filed to GM indicating that this is a manufacturing error. My car has 85000 miles and many that have complained have far less. This is clearly an issue that should be recalled. I reached out to GM with no solution offered other than them basically saying I am on my own. They did offer to help me find a local dealer I could shell out my money to. Please help. This issue occurs when the car is at rest and in motion.”

NHTSA complaint #11232859, filed 2019-07, 64,000 milesBrakes: “In late may 2014 I started getting a brake error message & my brakes would not work properly. I would push down on the brakes & it would be hard to brake. I was barely able to pull over, however I made it to the side of the highway & turned off my vehicle, when I turned it on the brake error was gone & my brakes seemed to work. I took my car to the dealer on may 29, 2014 they said it was the master brake cylinder sensor, but I had to wait because GM had the item on back order. …”
