Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While traveling on the expressway at 70mph the reduce engine speed message came on the dashboard and the speed reduced to less than 50mph. At no other time have I received this warning until I was in a speeding position. Reducing speed while on an expressway is dangerous when it is not in the control of the operator of the car. I believe this should be a recall to all GM vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #10808091, filed 2015-12, 120,081 miles“Had Chevy manager call me to discuss why they replaced throttle due to hesitation in gas when applied to gas pedal. I just had replaced a catalytic converter due to not passing smog. Called local Chevy dealer about the throttle causing unnecessary wear of my catalytic converter. He asked why Chevy didn't repair catalytic converter at Chevy. I called Chevy and they said at that time they would have to order it and wouldn't be able to get it in till over the weekend. I went forward with local shop that actually had one. …”
NHTSA complaint #10659507, filed 2014-11, 98,821 miles“I have many things going on. It surges forward when I start it, service air bag light comes on/off. Uses oil and anti-freeze. Back brakes makes noise when I backup, leaks water through the driver door. Uncontrolable on snow. Front tires are wearing on the inside. My traction control seems to be acting up. I bought it with 48,000 miles on it, and it has 53,000 miles on it now.”
