FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. I'M JUST SMELLING GAS AND MY CAR ISN'T STARTING ON THE FIRST TURN LIKE BEFORE. AS I WAS DOING MY RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. I ALSO RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL 13036 BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS 14152 TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ACTION I NEED TO TAKE. I SEE THE GAS ISSUE IS A BIG CONCERN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT LIGHTS. THIS EVENING I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD AND SUDDENLY BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I PUT ON MY HIGH BEAMS AND 15 SECONDS LATER, BOTH LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED EVERY FEW HUNDRED FEET FOR MY ENTIRE DRIVE HOME. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND AS I'M LOOKING ONLINE I SEE MANY OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING LIGHTING ISSUES. IF THIS IS A FREQUENT AND KNOWN PROBLEM, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. IT WAS REALLY SCARY HAVING BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND I'M VERY THANKFUL I DID NOT CRASH! THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND RECALLS! AS A LONG TIME GM CUSTOMER, I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE!
