Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear taillight randomly going on and off. Interior light randomly flicker, theft deterrent system often activates, vehicle dash systems randomly reset and most recently vehicle steering wheel locked and car turned off while I was driving with my kids in the car and in a school zone!!!!! This could have been tragic and was very scary!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11218199, filed 2019-06, 76,000 miles“Within the last year on my 2015 my AC compressor has gone out, radio screen quit working, brake pump/booster faulty, and now rear brake light quit working. All seem to be very common in this year model. My car has less than 70000 miles on it!! Gm is either doing a crappy job on their $60000 vehicles or a recall needs to be done.”
NHTSA complaint #11193726, filed 2019-04, 68,000 miles“Car was parked in front of our house and combusted in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. Car was exploding and engulfed in flames...completely destroyed via fire and the worst damage was in the engine compartment. Cause of the fire is unknown although based on research sounds like NHTSA campaign #14v007000 or 14v152000. Fire department extinguished the fire and police were on the scene.”
NHTSA complaint #11286278, filed 2019-12, 72,800 miles“Wiring to radiator fan caught on fire. I was driving the car when I smelled smoke. When I pulled over smoke was coming from the hood I opened the hood and there was open flames on the fan wiring wiring.”
NHTSA complaint #11173813, filed 2019-02, 42,000 miles“I was driving down the road and someone clearly (due to the loud screeching of the tires) almost rear ended me. Thankfully they were able to stop just before hitting my vehicle. He caught me at a stop light and informed me that both of my brake lights were out unbeknownst to me. I have since taken the vehicle to the dealership, but there is an issue with the brake light system/parts for this vehicle. The brake light will work sporadically (without any knowledge of an issue). …”
