“I have called my local dealer for my car will hit a bump shut off and come right back on. Also the air bag light will not go off. I have asked them if this was part of the recall they said even if it was its to long for them to cover it under the recall id have to pay myself. It sounds to me as this issue is part of the recall. What can I do to have this issue fixed under the recall statue?”
NHTSA complaint #11064559, filed 2018-01, 184,000 miles“I would be driving and everything would start flickering and the door locks would be going up and down, I had no control on the gas but I could brake. So I pulled over and turned the truck off and I was unable to restart the truck - this has now happened twice within 2 weeks. The first time this had happened on may 21st, 2016 - I was in a parking lot in san leandro, the second time this happened I was on the highway driving straight.”
NHTSA complaint #10872850, filed 2016-06, 121,000 miles“Right rear passenger door filled with water after rain, shorted speaker thus far. Unknown if other electrical systems compromised by water filled door. I fear that electrical switch in door can lead to electrical shock to child who seats rear seat because of water that was present. Seals appear to be in working condition with no tears or splits. Manually pulled bottom seal to drain water.”
NHTSA complaint #10916470, filed 2016-10, 138,000 miles“This vehicle continuously, when it feels like it, activates the check engine lite with the error codes, 2135,c2101,0300,1516. These codes puts the engine in 'reduced power mode' and at any time. It is very similar to the GM tech bulletin 11-06-04-007b and 11273, but this vehicle ' is not covered. It was in the shop several times with this problem with out a fix, but now I feel it is getting worse and is now a bad safety issue. This can happen at any time, while cruising, at an intersection or anytime it feels like it. And it happens frequently.”
NHTSA complaint #10779292, filed 2015-10, 60,000 miles“Putting any electrical ipod, phone, laptop or etc. On passenger seat sets off service air bag. I see a lot of people are having that problem. All I get from the dealership is that GM says don't do that. With a passenger in the seat there is no airbag protection for them. I have a chrysler also with problem as this.”
