Example complaints

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

“Driving anywhere day or night at any given speed, radio goes in and out, turn signal work on and off at random moments, headlights will dim for no reason, interior dash lights dim for no reason. Also will occasionally cause car to stall for no reason. Have been pulled over by law enforcement several times and warned about not using turn signals when I did, but car has never worked properly. I inform them of the complaints I have repeatedly made to GM to resolve and have been repeatedly ignored by GM. I usually am let off with warning. …”

NHTSA complaint #10717465, filed 2015-05, 74,000 miles

“The passenger side air bag was sitting up and away from the dash board. The consumer was able to see the air bag through the gap in the panel. The dealer was willing to repair the problem at a cost to the consumer. The manufacturer is aware of the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10055742, filed 2004-01, 65,000 miles

“Two car crashes - one at ~35mph colliding with a tree (in late 2006) nearly head-on and a second (january 21st, 2008) at ~65mph colliding with an interstate guard rail also nearly head-on - neither of which triggered a deployment of the air bags of the vehicle. The electrical system of the vehicle is questionable as the car experienced flashes of the headlights, temporary failure of the interior lights, and other electrical issues before the most recent accident.”
