Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I contacted the local dealership in elk grove, gmc and on 3 different occasions they state they do not service Saab vehicles. I told them that gmc is responsible for it and they stated there is only one location that we could take it to in central california by fresno if I want to get it fixed. Which it will be an undue hardship. I also told them that our car was spilling gas due to an original faulty unit. They stated there was a recall for that however, it somehow doesn't show on my VIN. Several times we ran out of gas and our kids got gasoline on their clothes. …”
