SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, ONE BEING MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT ALL HAD TO DO WITH AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX. SHOULDN'T MY VEHICLE BE RECALLED? I'M A SAFE DRIVER AND IT'S A BIT UPSETTING KNOWING THAT I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE WORKING. ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. WE RECENTLY MOVED, AS MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING ME, HE WAS THE ONE THAT NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS GO OUT COMPLETELY. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK AND ARE THE ONLY OPTION FOR GETTING HOME. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE WERE TRAVELING AWAY FROM HOME. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND REALIZED THAT WE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FROM LOOKING ONLINE - THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHOUT A SOLUTION. SHOP CAN'T HELP UNLESS THEY ARE DOING IT AT THE TIME.

POWER TRAIN
I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE NOW I HAVE IN FACT REPORTED TO GM ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY RECOURSE I MAY TAKE AND THEY SIMPLY FLAT OUT TOLD ME NO! SO I STARTED HEARING A NOISE AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY TO THE POINT YOU COULD NOT DRIVE IT. TO ME THIS I CONSIDER THIS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE IF IT STOPPED MOVING ALTOGETHER I'D BE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING. I DO HAVE AN INVOICE BUT NO SCANNER, IT DID COST ME 3K OR BETTER ON BOTH OCCASIONS TO REPLACE IT. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING I'M ABLE TO DO TO BE REIMBURSED FOR ANY OR ALL OF THE INCONVENIENCE I'VE CONCURRED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE GAUGE CLUSTER, SPEAKERS AND OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS STOP WORKING AT VARIOUS TIMES, THE GAUGES EITHER REGISTER COMPLETELY MAXED OUT, MINIMUM OR SOMEWHERE OBVIOUSLY WRONG. EXAMPLE FUEL GAUGE WAY PAST FULL, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READING 0, CHARGE GAUGE MAXED OUT TACHOMETER COMPLETELY OFF THE SCALE AND SPEEDOMETER INOPERABLE. REAR SPEAKERS WORK SOMETIMES AND BULBS IN BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. THE GAUGES ARE OF MOST CONCERN AS THE TRUE VALUES OF FUEL LEVEL, OIL PRESSURE, BATTERY VOLTAGE AND ENGINE TEMP ARE RARELY ACCURATE (OR EVEN CLOSE). THE SPEED WILL NOT OPERATE AT TIMES AND OCCASIONALLY IF THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED THE SPEEDOMETER WILL CORRECT ITSELF. ALL THESE CONDITIONS CREATE SAFETY CONCERNS ON SOME LEVEL FROM RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A LESS THAN DESIRABLE LOCATION, DRIVING AT INCORRECT SPEEDS, OVERHEATING ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING OR ENGINE PROBLEMS. LOSING A TAIL LIGHT NOT ONLY CREATES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR TRAFFIC BUT CREATES ISSUES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL. THESE CONDITIONS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, DRIVING, PARKED OR IDLING BUT THE KEY MUST BE ON TO POWER THE ACCESSORIES. TYPE OF DRIVING (CITY, HIGHWAY, ETC,) MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS WILL QUIT WORKING AND CEASE TO TURN ON UNTIL AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. AFTER DRIVING AND AND PARKING, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FAIL TO TURN ON AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE HAVING THE VERY SAME ISSUES AS MENTIONED IN GM RECALL 14291 WHERE ISSUES WITH THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) OVERHEAT AND FAIL, CAUSING THE HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO THEN FAIL AND NOT ILLUMINATE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL STATING IT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND MY VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE LIGHT BESIDE IT STAY ON 24/7. I HAVE HAD IT AT MY MECHANIC WHO HAS SENT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AND HAVE REPLACED ALL PARTS BUT THE COMPUTER TO MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND NOT KNOW IF THAT IS THE FIX. MY HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOME DAYS TURN OFF WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT WHEN I GIVE MY VIN THE DEALER TELLS ME I HAVE ZERO RECALLS. THEY DO THIS WHEN SITTING STILL, DRIVING SLOW OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CARS THINKING I AM FLASHING THEM SOME TIMES WHEN I AM NOT. IF I ROLL MY WINDOWS UP THEY DIM. I ALSO WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR STALLED ON ME. WHEN I COASTED DOWN THE HILL TO STOP, THE CAR STARTED. MY MECHANIC PUT IT ON COMPUTER BUT THE CODE WAS AN "UNEXPLAINED" REASON, BASICALLY NO ONE KNOW WHY OR IF MY CAR WILL DO IT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP OVER THE HEADLIGHTS BUT IT WAS DAYLIGHT AND THEY DID NOT SEE IT SO SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. I AM SO OVER MY CAR, I AM TO THE POINT I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. I HAVE SEEN 3 RECALLS IN THE NEWS THAT MATCH MY YEAR AND MAKE, BUT MY "VIN" SAYS OTHERWISE. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. MY COMPUTER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR 3 YEARS NOW, HEADLIGHTS HAVE DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008, AND IT STALLED BEGINNING OF SPRING 2015. I JUST WANT A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE!
