Fuel/Propulsion System · at 210,465 miles · reported Apr 10, 2019
The initial time (3/14) it occurred, I was out of town with my family, embarrassed to say the least. However, mainly uncomfortable, tired, and frustrated because my 87 years old dad was stranded for hours as well as my 66 years old sister who is recovering from cancer. This problem was a serious problem because of our location. We had gone to get dinner and ice cream after getting ice cream we back in the vehicle for it would not start. I called 911 no police ever showed nor would even stop to assist. After 2 1/2 hours, we contacted a church member to find out about a mechanic in the area that…
Exterior Lighting · at 113,000 miles · reported Jan 12, 2019
Low beam headlights and daylight driving lights shut down after a few minutes. Lights will come on after engine cools down but not before. Cannot drive after dark. High beams continue to operate.
Exterior Lighting · at 157,000 miles · reported Aug 22, 2017
Last night I noticed at a stop light that I did not have low beam headlights on. Very disconcerting. After I made my turn to exit the busy street, the headlights did come back on. After researching the issue, it is a known issue with GM. In fact, many cars were selectively recalled on this issue. Mine was not. Granted, my car is 11 years old with 157,000 miles, I still believe GM at some point should have warned me of this serious and dangerous issue. It appears I can easily fix it myself with a $27 "module" from autozone. No issues on the repair and part. I just think highly irresponsible of…
Engine · at 85,287 miles · reported Mar 6, 2017
Takata recall I have had to make many repairs on this vehicle. However, now the lifters in the engine collapsed. The vehicle only has about 87,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable. There have been many complaints about this vehicle and the lifters collapsing. We are a one income family and the repairs to this vehicle are astronomical. Well over 3500.00 dollars. This vehicle is not drivable and has been sitting for a year now at my mechanics. The vehicle is of no use to me and has become a huge paper weight now. The worst part is I still owe on the vehicle too. Gm needs to take responsibility…
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · at 165,043 miles · reported Feb 10, 2017
The vehicle will abruptly go from 70 MPH to 30's (Semi-trailer closing in fast) and I can't do a thing about it!! Service stabilitrack has been a thorn while under warranty and persists to be a problem now that it is out of warranty! From early on, <10,000 miles and over 10 times since, this vehicle had been in to two different dealers and the problem, though intermittent, still exists and is a huge danger to me and my kids but I can't just go buy another car or trade this in like some people (Including the car dealership managers) portray is the best option when I should be able to get GM to…
