Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Intake manifold gasket leaking at 38,000 miles. Replace by GM under warranty. Intake manifold leaking again at 70,000 miles. Needs to be replaced again. I contacted GM customer assistance and they basically said they wouldn't help me because they already paid for it once. This problem is in addition to brake cylinder problems and other coolant system problems. I also have considerable leaks in this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10053033, filed 2004-01“Dt: the consumer stated while driving he lost power to his vehicle because the cable was touching the belt and eventually it frayed the belt. The dealership replaced the cable and made sure it was properly supported so that it would not touch the belt. He noticed that the A/C was not working properly and the voltage was really low.”
NHTSA complaint #10128599, filed 2005-07“The audio control unit reaches external temperatures of 150f (130f internal) when the instrument lights are on. Cd manufacturers warn that temperatures over 120f are dangerous for cds. Gm says 150f is okay and presents no fire hazard or equipment hazard. Gmcwill not respond to my letters regarding the cd mfg specifications.”
