Vehicle nearly lost control while doing so. Auto shop cannot duplicate the issue nor any codes pop up . Very dangerous for a family while we are driving and saw many complain about this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11458259, filed 2022-03“Monday 5th 2022, (2pm)I was driving with the AC on high as I had just left the mall. The interior was hot. As I left the mall and came to a stop light...the car would rev at stop, and continue to do so until the light changed. I had the oil and transmission fluid changed at 135000. It is currently at 138000. I turned off the AC because it did not seem to work (to cool the car down) and rolled the windows down and open the sun roof. Tuesday 6th, I was leaving the store (4pm) and again I turned the AC on and approached a stop light. …”
NHTSA complaint #11483232, filed 2022-09“I have been having issues with the electrical components of the stabilitrak and ABS systems. I have also been having problems with the electrical system that runs the instrumentation for the air,heat and blower. The main problem is that there is a crack on the dash in the left hand corner of the passenger air bag. This has been well documented by thousands on the internet. I called GM and they said there are no recalls but they issued a case #. This case # applies to all three problems for my vehicle.”
