Example complaints
Electrical system: “I was driving down the road and my knee accidentally hit the key and it fell right out of the ignition switch. I have to fumble around for it on the floor while the car was running and moving. I also have noticed in the last few months that I have to jiggle the ignition switch quite a few times back and forth in order to start the car. This happens alot some weeks and other weeks, just a few times.”
NHTSA complaint #10662655, filed 2014-12, 100,260 milesAir bags: “My son and his friend were involved in a collision that completely totaled our 2007 Saturn vue. Neither the driver or passenger side airbags deployed in this accident where the vehicle ended up upside down in a ravine after hitting a sign at approximately 55 miles per hour. The airbag light had been going on and off for quite some time but I had no idea that meant neither of them was operational. Thank goodness no one was injured but what a horrible turn out this could have had. Definitely a safety hazard!”
NHTSA complaint #10865432, filed 2016-05, 110,000 milesBrakes: “I bought this SUV in feb of 2015. It had 92.000 miles on it at the time. I paid $8k. It has been nothing but trouble since I bought it. First, the steering was bad. Apparently it's a common issue for GM vehicles to have a rack and pinion issue. It needed to be regreased, which was an easy fix, and the dealership didn't charge me. The next month I moved from mn to ga and when I got down here (it's hot) realized the AC didn't work. I took it in and was told that the AC compressor was bad and needed to be replaced at the tune of $1200. I decided to be sweaty all summer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10788989, filed 2015-11, 92,000 milesOther or unknown: “The ignition was not turning over properly. The battery light was on. The brake light came on. The traction control system came on. The (ABS) light came on. The check engine light came on. The oil pressure light came on. I drove my car from fresno to yosemite and right in front of the park garage it broke down and I managed to roll it off the road and into a stall. I requested professional advice. The professional said it appeared to him to be a faulty altenator, a failed electrical system, and a battery problem, as well as a problem with the ignition switch. …”
