MY AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK, RANDOMLY WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR WILL JUST ACT LIKE IT CAN'T SHIFT BUT STILL DRIVES AND D'S ORDER IT WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO. *TR UPDATED 2/2/2015 *JS
TURN SIGNALS SOMETIMES DO NOT WORK. HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT STAY ON . CONSTANTLY SHUT RIGHT OFF. DRIVING AT TIMES CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN YOU PUT ON THE TURN SIGNAL AND IT DOESN'T WORK. *JB
TRAFFIC SIGNALS CONSTANTLY FAIL TO WORK, USED TO BE ABLE TO PUSH HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON AND THEY WOULD COME BACK ON, NOW HAZARD LIGHTS WON'T WORK EITHER. HAVE ALMOST HAD 4 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE BLINKERS FAILED TO WORK, HAVE ALMOST BEEN CITED BY THE LOCAL POLICE UNTIL I PROVED IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE. CAN'T AFFORD THE COST OF REPAIR, BECAUSE I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT WHEN IT FAILED, THOUGH IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BECAUSE GMC AND DEALER WOULDN'T MAKE IT GOOD, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. *NM
THE TURN SIGNALS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO, THE SUN ROOF OPENS IF IT WANTS TO. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON THIS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THESE SYSTEMS DON'T WORK MORE THAN DO WORK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2001. IF YOU CAN'T HELP I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO PAY NOW TO HAVE IT FIXED WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. *NM
CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. STATED THAT CONSUMER WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK/ WINDOWS WILL NOT COME DOWN. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO OTHER COMPLAINS ON THIS VEHICLE. *AK
WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT APPEARS WARPED DUE TO THE LEATHER BEING SEPARATED FROM THE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SIDE SEAT AIR BAG RETAINER. *YH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT HAD LOCKED UP, AND THE TRIM PANEL ON THE DASH HAD FALLEN. *SCC
DRIVERS SEAT SEPARATES FROM WHERE THE SIDE AIR BAG IS STORED. HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR. THEY SAY THAT THERE COULD BE A RECALL BUT CHEVROLET DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE CONTACED CHEVROLET SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SATISFACTORY RESULTS, THE LAST TIME I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CONSIDED THE MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. *AK
THE MATERIAL ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT KEEPS PULLING AWAY FROM THE SIDE AIR BAG LEAVING AN UNSIGHTLY HOLE IN THE SEAT BACK. THE PROBLEM STARTED AS SOON AS I PURCHSED THE CAR 11 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY SATISFACTION. THE LAST TWO TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT GM IS PREPARING A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WITH A FIX BUT NOTHING SO FAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHEVROLET AND THEY CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE TRYING. I WAS PROMISED A FREE LOF FOR MY TROUBLE. MY MAIN COMCERN IS THAT I PURCHASED A NEW CAR AND HAVE YET TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO DAYS WITHOUT THE DEFECT AND UNSIGHTLY SEATBACK. I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS ALL OF MY LIFE AND I AM SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ACTIONS AND EFFORTS OF THE DEALER AND OF THE LEVEL OF CONCERN OF CHEVROLET.
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ON DASH HAVE BEEN CUTTING OFF AND NOT OPERATING. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, AND SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT MORE PROBLEMS KEEP ARISING. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS DETERMINED DEFCTIVE AND WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER IN A DEAL MADE WITH THE CONSUMER. *YH
