ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AS I WAS DRIVING IN MY YARD I HAPPENED TO BUMP THE IGNITION KEY AND THE MOTOR CUT OUT AND DIED. THIS CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO TURN AND AVOID BUMPING A POST CAUSING SOME BODY DAMAGE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING MY FRIEND IN THE YARD BECAUSE HE HAD MOVED FROM BY THE POST A MINUTE EARLIER. I HAVE HAD ONE MORE TIME WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE, BUT I AM NOW EXPERIENCING AN OCCASIONAL ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. COULD THIS IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE NEED TO BE RECALLED ALSO?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM STARTED ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2015; I STARTED MY CAR UP TO LET IT WARM UP WHILE I DUSTED OFF THE SNOW. I NOTICE MY HEATED SEATS WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. AS SOON AS I RESTARTED IT THE CAR BEGAN TO BACKFIRE AND STALE. IT WOULD START BUT THEN STALE OUT. I HAD TO GET THE TRUCKED TOWED TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC. I PICK UP MY TRUCK THAT EVENING AND IT RAN FINE. THE NEXT MORNING THURSDAY JANUARY 22, I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HOWEVER, EVERY STOP I CAME TO THE TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THEN WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AT THE NEXT STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL I WAS DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC. AGAIN THAT EVENING I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FRIDAY JANUARY 23, I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC. HE KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAY. I FINALLY PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY JANUARY 24 AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID HE IS STUMPED. IT DROVE GREAT AFTER PICKING IT UP. THEN THIS MORNING JANUARY 25, AS I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, MY CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN TWO HILLS. THEN IT STALED 2 MORE TIMES WHILE I WAS A RED LIGHTS. I NEARLY MISSED TWO ACCIDENTS. BY DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL THE LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM. I CALLED CHEVY DIRECTLY AND THEY TOO ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I EVEN FOUND COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITE. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM GETS FIXED. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY DRIVERS DOOR FOR A PART THAT CATCHES FIRE, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE TRUCK JUST SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN MOTION. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN NOVEMEBER 2014 I STARTED THE CAR AND I HAD NO GAUGES(GAS,TEMPERATURE,OIL,RPM. MPH, AND THE MILEAGE DISPLAY) THE OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WORKED, LIKE THE RADIO AND THE SMALL ORANGE LIGHT FOR AWD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TWICE, BUT IT NEVER ACTED UP FOR HIM. IT HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN IN DECEMBER, BUT IT REALLY ACTED POSSESSED IN JAN 2015, SOME OF THE GAUGE NEEDLES WERE GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES, AND SOME WERE NOT MOVING AT ALL, SO WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE A VIDEO OF SOME OF IT, AND SHOW OUR MECHANIC. HE CALLED US TODAY AND SAID HE IS FOLLOWING A LOT OF BURNT WIRES, AND OUR CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I THOUGHT THIS POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD SHOULD BE REPORTED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE07014 OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE AROUND NOVEMBER 2014. THE PROBLEM PRESENTED AS P0442 CEL AND ODOR OF GAS AFTER PARKING IN GARAGE. GM HAS INDICATED BECAUSE THE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION ALLOWANCE HAS EXPIRED, DESPITE THE LOW MILEAGE THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2003. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM WAS NOT COMPELLED TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE RISK OF GAS LEAKING. I WOULD APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE TO GET GM TO MINIMALLY PROVIDE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACEMENT, DUE TO THE KNOW MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK. *TR
