VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HVAC BLENDER DOOR MECHANISM ( HEAT MODE DOOR LEVER) BROKE WHICH DISABLES THE DEFROST MODE IN THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED DURING A WINTER STORM AND I COULD NOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND ONLY PARTIAL VISION OF THE ROAD. VERY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND GOING FORWARD. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, SO I AM DEBATING WEATHER TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX MYSELF.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BLEW OUT IT'S SENSOR. NOT LIKE IT JUST WENT OUT, BUT SOME HOW PRESSURE BUILT UP AND BLEW IT OUT OF THE MANIFOLD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP JUST TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE. CAR IS AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE TURBO AND THE MISSING BOLTS AND THE FACT THAT THIS ENGINE WAS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY BUILD, AS GM HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND I STILL OWE ON IT. SO NOW WITH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BLOWING UP AND A LEAKING VALVE COVER....I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD. I AM SO AFRAID OF BLOWING UP WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I BELIEVE IN KARMA AND DO NOT WANT TO TRADE IT IN FOR FEAR OF RISKING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. I'VE OWNED A LOT OF VEHICLES IN THE 30 YEARS I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND AM THANKFUL I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT GOOD LORD, HOW DO I FIX THIS?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRING. THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND A MESSAGE THAT READS "A/C OFF HIGH ENGINE TEMP" APPEARS. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED, AND IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED TWICE MORE. THE ENGINE GASKET COVER HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL, AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS LEAKING AGAIN, AND OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS RANDOMLY, A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR THAT STATES TO SERVICE STABILTRAK. I'VE HAD A COIL PACK REPLACED AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY, BUT REAPPEARS EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND UPON START UP OF CAR MOST DAYS, RUNS VERY ROUGH AND I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE PUTTING INTO GEAR. THE OVERHEATING AND ROUGH ENGINE PROBLEMS KEEP REOCURRING NO MATTER WHAT WORK I HAVE DONE TO IT. MOST RECENT ISSUES WITH THE AC OFF AGAIN, AS OF TODAY, 12/8/2020.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR SLOWING DOWN, THIS OCCURS ON HIGHWAY, AT STOPLIGHTS, DRIVE THROUGH, AND CITY STREETS WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AS WELL. THIS IS BASICALLY A DEATH TRAP VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
IN SEPTEMBER, MY DAUGHTERS 4 SIDE AIRBAGS BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING. SHE WASN'T IN ANY COLLISION OR ACCIDENT, THEY JUST BLEW OUT AND THE PIECE THAT BLEW OUT ON HER SIDE, HIT HER IN THE HEAD TOO.IN MAY, LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER WE GOT THE CAR, SHE WAS GOING UP AROUND A CURVE, SOMEONE CAME AROUND THAT CURVE ON HER SIDE, HITTING HER DRIVER SIDE MIRROR, CRACKING,AND BREAKING THE GLASS. SHE WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD BY THE OTHER DRIVER, AND SHE DID GO OVER ROCKS, SCRATCHING THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, WE PUT IT ON A LIFT AND THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE, JUST SCRATCHED. AFTER HER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS RIGHT AWAY, SO I DID. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED, AND MADE SURE I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED IN MAY,THE LADY THAT TOOK THE CLAIM, SAID THAT'S FINE, SHE WILL MAKE SURE ALL THAT WAS NOTATED! NOW, FROM THE TIME I CALLED GM, IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO CONTACT ME, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. I EVEN CALLED BACK IN A COUPLE DAYS DEMANDING SOMEONE CONTACT ME RIGHT AWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I WAS TOLD BY A GM DEALERSHIP, THAT IT IS VERY OBVIOUS IT WAS MECHANICAL, FAULTY AIRBAGS. IT TOOK ALMOST 3 WEEKS FROM THE TIME I CALLED GM FOR THEM TO GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND GET THEIR INVESTIGATOR OUT TO LOOK AT IT. SHE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR, THE SEATBELTS DON'T WORK AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED,SO I REFUSE TO LET HER DRIVE IT. SO FROM THE TIME THE INVESTIGATOR CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT IT, RECORDED HIS FINDINGS, IT WAS ANOTHER 2 WEEKS.MY DAUGHTER CALLED THE LADY AT GM AND THE INVESTIGATOR THAT CONTACTED HER TO GET INFO. I SENT AN EMAIL ASKING WHY IT'S TAKING SO LONG TOO. FINALLY, GM CALLED ME, SAYING THE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND THEY 'FOUND NO MERIT THAT IT WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE',AND THEY WON'T BE DOING ANYTHING TO HELP. SHE ALSO TOLD ME NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WANT THEM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! THEY ARE USING WHAT HAPPENED IN MAY!
