Example complaints

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

“This has happened on more than one occassions and after doing a search on the interenet I have found others who have had the same problem. My car starts but it does not turn over all the way. It will do this several times then it finally starts. The battery is brand new and is very strong, and like I mentioned it starts and is strong it just does not turn all the way over. Alternator is fine, etc. Believed to be some type of electrical issue.”

“I went to get out of my car and the door handle wouldn't let me out(drivers side). My car shows its unlocked, yet it will not open the door. Finally, the door opened up. But again, after grocery shopping, my car failed to let me in!! I was stranded at walmart for a good 20 minutes before the door decided to start working again! This is a serious malfunction with GM cars! I looked up my problem, and it seems to be a reoccuring thing with GM. Why are they not recalling this?! …”

“Low traction light and ESC lights have come on at random during low speed with-out applying the brake, while the car is in park and while driving on dry pavement at low speed without the wheels losing traction. No code error detected when the code programmer was ran and the code error automatically self clears after turning the ignition off then turning back on. The problem has occurred during times of extreme heat greater than 98 outside uncertain if a computer malfunction. The brakes operate normally while operating the vehicle when the code error occurs.”

“When turning left onto street, mid turn without any warning my wheel semi hardened/lock. After regaining control of my vehicle to park. I noticed my power steering ESC indicator on my dash was showing plus the off road and a smell of burning.this was a scary moment due to the fact that I felt not in control of my vehicle and the high possibility of a accident. This should be a manufactured priority to notify and defects especially involving safety.”
