| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1999 | SEAT BELTS | AIR CONTROLS SWITCH BACK & FORTH FROM FRESH TO RECIRCULATE. CAR HAS REFUSED TO START TWICE & ANTITHEFT SYSTEM ACTIVATED. INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAK UPPER AND LOWER. I HAD THE GASKET REPLACED AND GM CANADA PAID FOR THE LABOR AND I PAID FOR THE PARTS, APPROX $180 CANADIAN. I BELIEVE THERE WAS 78000 KM (48,000 MILES) ON THE CAR AT THE TIME. SEATBELTS ARE SLOW TO RETRACT. CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END, THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY OR FIX. RECALL ON ROTORS CAUSED PADS TO FAIL. |
| 2000 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | DRIVING FROM QUEENS TO BROOKLYN, NY AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, SO I STUCK MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW TO TRY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK. EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE, THE TURN SIGNALS WORK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN STOP (EVEN THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS STOP WORKING). I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO MECHANICS WHO ARE AS STUMPED AS I WAS (UNTIL TODAY) WHEN I SAW THE NHTSA.DOT RECALL AND INVESTIGATION LIST WHICH INCLUDED MY CAR 2000 CHEVY IMPALA. *TR |
