Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently took my 2007 G5 into a dealership for an oil change and mentioned that I had been hearing a very annoying sound going over any irregularity in the pavement, also sounded like the suspension was broken! They said the control arm and bushings were worn'. I searched and found numerous similar complaints with the G5 (and cobalt) and my car has just 35k and never been driven in rough conditions, mainly highway driving. I checked and was told it is not a safety issue , only an annoyance, but will be trying to verify it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10419463, filed 2011-08, 30,000 miles“When pep boys first removed the passenger rear engine cradle bolt back in march, the factory nut broke off from being welded to the car body. When a local mechanic recently removed the bolt for related service, he showed it to me. The threads on the middle of the bolt shaft were all seemingly chewed up. The local mechanics best guess was that the air conditioner condenser drains on to that area, which originally weakened the factory welded nut, and causing corrosion on the engine cradle bolt. …”
NHTSA complaint #10651763, filed 2014-11, 102,000 miles“I am complaining about the control arm bushings popping out. We purchased two brand new vehicles, both g5s on the same day. Both vehicles have control arm bushing problems! The one vehicle was still under warranty and the control bushings were replaced by the dealership. This vehicle was out of warranty at that time and the dealership would only replace them at our cost. I'm sure after reading online complaints that these vehicles have major issues with control arm bushings. I would probably understand if it were one vehicle, but to happen to both brand new vehicles? There is a problem!”
