STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS
THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE AN OCCUPANT AND DOES NOT DEACTIVATE IF THE SENSOR IS MADE. THE CAR LEAKS WATER DURING RAIN STORMS PROFUSELY FROM DRAIN LINES CONNECTED TO THE BODY WORK UNDER THE HEADLINER. THE LINES BECOME DISCONNECTED AT THE JOINTS DUE TO POOR DESIGN. WATER LEAKS ONTO THE SEATBELTS AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE FLOOR BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT BECOMES WET AS WELL. IN THE PAST THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AFTERMARKET SEAT UPGRADES IN THIS CAR THAT WERE AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAUSE THIS FAULT IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE WATER LEAKING CAUSES ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ON THE HEADLINER AS WELL AS IT CAUSES MOLD TO GROW IN THE CARPET DUE TO THE WATER BECOMING STAGNANT. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS MANY DOCUMENTED DESIGN FAULTS THAT WOULD CAUSE WATER INTRUSION SUCH AS POOR AIR CONDITIONING DRAINAGE CAUSES WATER TO BACK UP INSIDE THE CAR. AS WELL AS LEAKING FROM POOR SUNROOF SEALING. THE VEHICLE LEAKS PRIMARILY WHEN STATIONARY. THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IN MOVING AND WHEN PARK IS ENGAGED.

STEERING
THREE WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I RECEIVED A MESSAGE "CHECK POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC". I FINALLY CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. I DROVE A FEW MORE MINUTES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW STEERING COLUMN. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE OR HAVE IT FIXED.

STEERING
THE FIRST EVENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A TEXAS HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATLY WENT STIFF AND A CHIME AND WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF IN THE CAR INDICATING THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS FAULTING AND HAD SHUT OFF. THE EVENT CAUSED DISTRESS AS I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC USING GREAT EFFORT IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT ON AND THE ERROR WENT AWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET CHECKED AT A LOCAL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL AFFECTING POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THESE VEHICLES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY WITH GM SAFETY RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY UPWARDS OF 1600 DOLLARS TO GET THE ISSUE REPAIRED. I THEN CONTACTED GM CORPORATE REGARDING THE INCIDENT. THEY STATED VIA EMAIL THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME ISSUES AS THOSE VEHICLES GM ACKNOWLEDGED. THEY INFORMED US THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND WE WERE LEFT WITH NO OTHER AVENUES. THE ISSUE HAS COME AND GONE A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE THEN LUCKILY IN LESS DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WITH THE WORST ONE EVEN LEADING THE VEHICLE TO STEER TOWARDS THE SIDE OF A STREET STRIKING THE SIDEWALK. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT INJURE ANYBODY BUT DID CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET, HOWEVER IT STILL RAISES MAJOR CONCERNS TOWARDS THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND THAT OF MY FAMILY'S. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THUS FAR THAT NONE OF THE INCIDENTS WITH GM FAULTY STEERING CONTROL ASSIST HAVE CAUSED DIRECT HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHERS.
