| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | TURNING CORNER (RIGHT HAND TURN) IN 3-4 INCHES OF LOOSE SNOW AND THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND STABILITRAC SENSOR ALL CAME ON. WARNING MESSAGE OF SERVICE STABILITRAC SOON DISPLAYED ON CONTROL PANEL. AFTER PARKING THE CAR OVERNIGHT, ALL WARNINGS EXCEPT ABS WERE OFF AND ABS WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR FOR ALL THREE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT TWICE AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG ONCE SINCE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER. ALSO INTERMITTENTLY SEEMS TO HAVE A POWER DRAIN FOR NO REASON AND WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON THE DASH DISPLAY. *TR |
| 2006 | WHEELS | FIRST WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT AT 16K MILES TO THE RIGHT FRONT. THEN THE LEFT FRONT WENT OUT WITH ALMOST 36K MILES. FIRST TWO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN AT 55K MILES STARTED HAVING WHEEL SENSOR FAULTS. DEALER FIXED. WIRE WORN THROUGH AGAIN, SAME FAULT AT 72K MILES. FIXED OURSELVES WITH BETTER TAPE ON WIRE. NEXT THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING/HUB WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 78K MILES. 3RD WHEEL BEARING FOR THAT SIDE. CONTACT GM AND NO HELP WITH CASE THERE, SO REPLACED WITH PART FROM AUTOZONE TO SAVE MONEY. AT 83K MILES RIGHT WHEEL BEARING WENT BAD. THIS ONE HAD TWO BOLTS STUCK. HAD TO WAIT AROUND 2 WEEKS FOR BOLTS. PAID A SHOP TO TORCH OFF BOLTS AND REPLACE BEARING.3RD WHEEL BEARING FOR THAT SIDE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! BEARING SHOULD LAST OVER 100K. I KEPT THE REPLACEMENTS THAT WENT BAD IF THEY COULD HELP FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE ROOT CAUSE. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR TO CAUSE THIS. *TR |
