| 2012 | ENGINE | I BROUGHT MY CAR IN BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I ASKED THAT AN OIL CHANGE BE DONE AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE CAR HAD WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE AND HAD A STRONG BURNING SMELL. THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE I WAS ONLY GONE 10 MINUTES FROM THE DEALER BEFORE I HAD TO BRING IT BACK. BROUGHT IT BACK DEALER SAID THEY SMELLED BURNING AND SPRAYED A DEODORIZER IN VENTS TO MASK IT, BUT THEY DID NOT ADDRESS THE SMOKING THAT IS STILL HAPPENING. FILED COMPLIANT WITH GM REQUESTING A BUY BACK OF VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE FIRST YEAR IT WAS OUT,AND HAVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE FRONT END, AIR CONDITIONER NOT TO MENTION THAT THE DEALER DROPPED CAR OFF RACK AND CAUSED DAMAGED. *TR |
| 2012 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER | I TURNED ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS & THE ENGINE DIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD RAINED AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR & REALLY DID NOT AT THIS TIME ASSOCIATE THE WIPERS & THE ENGINE DYING UNTIL LATER THAT SAME DAY WHEN CONTACTED A FRIEND OF MINE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS A LONG STORY & I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF & OTHERS. IT DIED THE OTHER DAY IN TRAFFIC WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN & I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND ALMOST WAS HIT BY A TRUCK. PLEASE CONTACT ME, IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR HIM TO EXPLAIN IN PERSON ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR |
