Example complaints

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

“Was driving and stabilization got turned turned off. The engine power got reduced. Decreasing the car's power dramatically then eventually not drivable. This is very very dangerous because was driving on the freeway. I was fortunate enough to make a smooth lane change to the side to stop the car. But if I couldn't and there was a lot of cars, this would of caused a massive accident. I feel from my research, Gmc should be responsible and fix this! Very angry because it had happened twice now!!!”

NHTSA complaint #11257208, filed 2019-09, 210,000 miles

“I went to the mall yesterday and my car stared shaking the mall is 4 miles away from my house. I was driving through this intersection on the way home and I heard a horrible pop and saw something fly in the air and fall off of my car. It was the driver shaft and that part was laying in the road about 4 feet long and if someone would have ran over it I believe it could have caused injury to someone. This car has had so many issues. From tail lights going out at one time, the door knob falling off, the arm of the seat broke and now the head light just went out. …”
