EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE STOP LIGHTS WORK INTERMITINLY DUE TO A FAULTY SWITCH. GM HAS TSB'S ON MODELS UP TO 2009 FOR THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT OPPERATABLE BRAKE LIGHTS A REAREND CRASH IS LIKLEY. THIS 2011 VEHICLE IS NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR OF INSIDE OF THE FRONT TIRES. SINCE VEHICLE WAS AT 13000 MILES THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER COVERED FOR ANY REPAIR. DEALERSHIP WAS NOT GOING TO COVER ANYTHING. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE A $40 FEE JUST TO EVALUATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT THE FEE WAS WAIVED AND WAS CHARGED $59.95 FOR THE ALIGNMENT. TOOK VEHICLE TO A TIRE STORE AND PAID FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES FOR A TOTAL REPAIR OF OVER $200. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT MANUFACTURER DENIES ANY PROBLEM. COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH MANUFACTURER SAME DAY. *JB
