Example complaints

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

“Heated seat module failed and instead of just not working it stayed on, ran my battery down, caused my seat to get really hot to the touch and I was concerned about it catching fire. If a module is faulty it should shut off not stay on and caused the possibility of a fire and run your battery down. Gm had to disconnect the seat module to get it to go off. They want $481 to fix and could not guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. I paid them $150 to disconnect and this way I know it won't happen again. …”
