Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The NHTSA website shows that for our VIN campaign 14v827000 calls for its ignition switch to be inspected and possibly replaced. Pitre Gmc in albuquerque says that their internal list (vis?) does not include this recall, so they will not do the inspection. I have had no symptoms of a problem. I just want to prevent a possible future safety issue. Is the NHTSA database or the GM database correct? What can be done to fix the one that is wrong? I noticed the discrepency on 10/29/15.”
NHTSA complaint #10787847, filed 2015-11, 60,575 miles“I am having issues with the antenna in my truck. The radio is constantly going in and out. My onstar has stopped working completely. My bluetooth drops calls within a few min of taking the call if I can even get it to answer the call. Cosmetically the issues I am having is the dash has a huge crack right behind the steering wheel it goes all the way across to the passenger airbag. If I was to have a front end crash shards of plastic would go flying this is a safety hazard. I just purchased this vehicle about 2 weeks ago 3/11/17 and have had these issues since purchased. …”
