Service Brakes · at 137,500 miles · reported Jul 6, 2020

Please investigate! Approx. 3 days ago I was coming to a stop sign in a residential area & applied brakes. Speed limit is 25, but I was going slower, just to the corner past my home. Not only did brakes not work- the car began to accelerate on its own to about 35-40 MPH- no gas applied. Tried pumping brakes, shifting the car into neutral, reverse, park- all while at an unexpected accelerated speed. I plowed into a residential yard which had a small hill thinking maybe I could stop the car that way. That didn't work. I swerved back into the street; car still revving and moving forward. At that…

We purchased the vehicle february of 2018. We called GM and spoke with representatives that said there was in fact a recall for our exact make, model and year for the…

Engine · at 148,000 miles · reported May 10, 2018

2 timing chains within 8 months just put the second one in on saturday and 4 days later the car is making the same noise again. I have spoke to many people about this and they are telling me this is a problem with this motor. The second time the timing chain went I was driving down route 55 in nj and the car shut off and would not start the first time it went I was in the driveway and would not stay running. I do not have the money to keep putting in this or the funds to get another car I expect when I pit money into the car I don't expect it to start running the way it was when the timing…
