I was driving on the highway at about 70 mph and the passenger side lower control arm where the ball joint sits broke. It messed up the passenger fender and tire along with the steering link. It also bent the upper control arm as well. The ball joints were replaced about 6 months ago.
Crotch buckle belt is frayed and no longer safe to use. this should not fall under the umbrella of normal wear and tear since it is a safety strap. Nuna claimed it to be caused by a rodent, but there is no other evidence or signs of any other rodent activity
At 25,000 miles, noticed "howling" noise coming from front end. Noise became louder as speeds increased. Lifted truck on jacks and determined the front passenger wheel bearing was failing. Required replacement.
Purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership 2 months ago. Now the transmission seems to be going out with 132,000 miles on it and funny noise from the transfer case. I have researched and found numerous complaints about the drive train on this vehicle and as a disabled veteran I don't have the funds to have it fixed. How can I get a recall in place for this issue?

While driving on the highway the vehicle began to shake and the stability track light came on. It felt like it affected the transmission. We had to get it towed 30 miles to our home area. Shop Calibrated the brakes and says that took care of it. This vehicle only has 30,000 miles on it.

My vehicle came equipped from the Factory with 18” wheels and tires and a 17” wheel and tire. The vehicle is equipped with 4 wheel ABS which fails to operate properly when using the factory equipped spare tire. GM recall a number of 2018 and 2019 vehicles with this very issue but did not recall my vehicle for this identical issue. I contacted GM who said if my VIN is not listed in the recall it is not an issue and they cannot correct the problem.
AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT TWICE, BRAKE PEDAL HARD AND WHEEL BEARING NOISE FROM REAR BECOMING LOUDER AFTER DEALER SAID IT WAS OKAY
A REAR TIRE BLEW CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE STRUCK A SHALE WALL ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY AND SOMEONE DIED IN THE VEHICLE.
I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND RIVERSIDE CHEVROLET, THEY DOCUMENTED MY VEHICLE TIRE PRESSURE WAS REINFLATED TO FACTORY SPECS BUT THEY WERE NOT.
SHAKING IN THE FRONT AT SPEEDS OVER 40MPH WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION, THAT DOES STOP WHEN YOU TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE GAS. THE SHAKING SEEMS TO GET MORE VIOLENT AT HIGHER SPEEDS, AND SO FAR THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
