| 2007 | STEERING | THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CUT OUT AND I INJURED MY SHOULDER TRYING TO KEEP CAR ON THE ROAD. GM HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM REPORTED WITH THIS MODEL BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT DID NOT SEND A WARNING , RECALL, OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY LIKE THEY HAVE DONE ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I CHANGED THE FUSE AND STILL HAVING THE ISSUE. HAD TO STOP EVERY 30 MILES SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET HOME THAT DAY. IT WAS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL DRIVING AND NOT KNOWING IF IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN . OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE WARNED BY GM , I AM LUCKY IT WAS NOT MUCH WORSE , ONLY MY SHOULDER . MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED . WAITING FOR FATAL INJURIES OR DEBILITATING INJURIES BEFORE FIXING A SERIOUS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ACCEPTABLE, BUT THE COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. *TR |
| 2009 | AIR BAGS | AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTER A WHILE IT WOULD TURN OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON AGAIN. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND THE LIGHT WENT AWAY. LESS THAN ONE YEAR LATER WHEN THE CAR HAD 50000 MI THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. THERE APPEARS TO BE A WIRING ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE AS THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. *TR |
