Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have to have the electrical computer replaced - the car drops to 1st gear and doesn't move up, the door locks lock then unlock and continue to do that, the engine light comes on, the power steering alarm comes on (but I don't lose power steering) and the speedometer stops working! This happens while driving with no notice except the door locks start first them the other issues happen simultaneously.”

I received a recall letter on march 14, 2014 #14v-047 -- I am requesting the reimbursement in the matter.”

Your system is useless if the manufacturer is not agreeing to the recalls under the year/make/model and assigning the recalls to the VIN to grant approval to dealers to repair, a dealer will not complete a GM recall unless GM approves of the recall for a particular VIN. …”
