Electrical System · at 87,000 miles · reported Apr 27, 2017
The third brake light connections located in the rear tailgate are severely corroded and will not light up when braking. This condition does not allow passing of state inspection. The entire brake light assembly and wire harness must to replaced to pass state vehicle inspection. This condition is continuous, when parked, when driving (We followed it around the block to see if it jiggled on), I have nothing to upload because the brake light will not light up.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 159,000 miles · reported Feb 11, 2017
I was doing a rear brake job and smelled gasoline, so I went under the vehicle and observed there was a wet spot on the rear of the fuel tank. Upon closer examination I found the inlet part of the fuel tank was broken and allowing fuel to exit the tank, can we say fire risk, so I went online to try to purchase a replacement tank and I found where several people had had this sameproblem, but no recall is in place ?????
Air Bags · reported Nov 11, 2016
Car was bought in 2004. Was taken to the dealer several times to have airbag light fix but it was never resolved it was said to be fine. No hazard. Never involved in a car crash. Cars turns on and it prompt you to check airbags. Today I was watching the news and someone mentioned this site. I wanted to see it there has been a recall
Fuel System, Gasoline · reported Oct 27, 2016
Vehicle has had strong odor or raw fuel coming from driving side wheel well. Had mechanic check this out and I was told this has a fuel leak near the fuel filter / filler neck and possible gas tank issue which is close to the exhaust pipe. This is a known issue from GM owners but recall has not been advised. Informed GM of issue on 10/26 but they will not fix. This will cost upwards of $1100-$1600 to fix.
