| 2012 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I WENT TO GO SOME PLACE WHEN I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THERE IS NO CHIP INDICATING THAT SOMETHING HAD HIT IT. THE CRACK SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED FROM THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD TWISTED. THE CRACK IS APPROX 8 TO 12 INCHES AND CIRCLES INTO AN UP SIDE DOWN U. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF GM HAS A RECALL AND THEY DO NOT. *TR |
| 2012 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | VEHICLE STALLS WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP, AND/OR AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PUSHED IN. THEN, IT TAKES THREE SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR CAN ATTEMPT TO BE RE-STARTED! VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS A HIGHWAY OR INTO TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS WHAT SEEMS TO BE A 'PROGRAMMED' WAITING PERIOD OF 3 SECONDS BEFORE YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO RE-STARTED. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE (1.4L TURBO ENGINE WITH 6 SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION) SINCE 05/21/2012, AND OVER 8,000 MILES LATER, IT STILL STALLS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THE DEALERSHIPS SAY, "CANNOT REPRODUCE. OPERATING TO SPECIFICATIONS." *TR |
