ENGINE, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD TO MAKE MANY REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NOW THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE COLLAPSED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 87,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND THE LIFTERS COLLAPSING. WE ARE A ONE INCOME FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE ARE ASTRONOMICAL. WELL OVER 3500.00 DOLLARS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A YEAR NOW AT MY MECHANICS. THE VEHICLE IS OF NO USE TO ME AND HAS BECOME A HUGE PAPER WEIGHT NOW. THE WORST PART IS I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE TOO. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AFM LIFTERS, OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE AMERICAN MADE!!!!!!! THEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE BUYING MORE FOREIGN MADE CARS. THEY SEEM TO BE MORE RELIABLE THAN THE GM PRODUCTS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30'S (SEMI-TRAILER CLOSING IN FAST) AND I CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT!! SERVICE STABILITRACK HAS BEEN A THORN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND PERSISTS TO BE A PROBLEM NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY! FROM EARLY ON, <10,000 MILES AND OVER 10 TIMES SINCE, THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THE PROBLEM, THOUGH INTERMITTENT, STILL EXISTS AND IS A HUGE DANGER TO ME AND MY KIDS BUT I CAN'T JUST GO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR TRADE THIS IN LIKE SOME PEOPLE (INCLUDING THE CAR DEALERSHIP MANAGERS) PORTRAY IS THE BEST OPTION WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET GM TO FIX THE CAR OR REPLACE IT WHEN THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN THE ONLY PROBLEM: GEAR BAND BROKE TWICE ON THE TRANSMISSION, HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE OF FAULTY RADIATOR, AND OTHER ISSUES HOWEVER NONE OF THE PROBLEMS REMOTELY COMPARE TO HAVING TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE REPEATED UNEXPLAINED DE-ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO MAKE THE CAR DO ANYTHING EXCEPT PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GIVE IT TEN MINUTES TO STOP HAVING A "TANTRUM" OF SORTS WHILE TRAFFIC WHIZZES BY AND THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT US (YET). EXTERIOR / AESTHETICS, I LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT POOR FUNCTION AND EVEN WORSE SERVICE OF PROBLEMS. I'VE REPORTED IT TO CORPORATE BUT THEY DON'T CARE AND DESPITE IT HAVING HAD BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES PRIOR TO END OF WARRANTY, NOW THEY JUST WANT ME TO START PAYING THEM FOR ALL THESE FIXES THAT HAVEN'T FIXED ANYTHING. ONCE I STARTED PAYING FOR FIXES AND THEN STARTED COMPLAINING THAT THEY AREN'T COVERING WHAT THEY'VE NEVER FIXED; THE MANAGER HAD THE NERVE TO SAY HE'D PAY FOR IT OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET IF HE KNEW IT WOULD FIX IT ... HELLO... WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER PAY FOR IT WHEN THE PROBLEM IS NEVER REALLY FIXED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BEGAN FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. LOW BEAMS FAILED ON AN UNLIGHTED INTERURBAN HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. SCARY! THEY STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND THEN RETURNED TO OPERATION. DURING THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING, TRYING TO VACATE THE HIGHWAY, USING HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LAMPS. DTL FAILURE NOTICED WHEN ENTERING GARAGE. HEADLIGHT DELAY ALSO FAILS AT THESE TIMES. LOSING LIGHTS AT 45 MPH ON A DARKENED ROAD IS VERY UNSAFE. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS PROBLEM MAY BE A LIGHT RELAY THAT IS KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HORN FAILED TO WORK TWICE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER BOTH TIMES. THE HORN FAILED TO WORK AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. LOCAL DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT BEING A KNOWN DEFECT. THE HORN DOES WORK WITH THE KEY FOB. PROBLEM IS IN THE HORN BUTTON IN CENTER OF STEERING WHEEL. SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY DEFECT TO ME. I RARELY USE, MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INITIALLY, WHEN THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH FUEL, IT IMMEDIATELY INDICATED THAT THE CAR WAS EMPTY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE YOU USED A COUPLE OF GALLONS THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN WORKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. JUST RECENTLY THE SYSTEM IS NOT CORRECTING ITSELF AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL CONSTANTLY GO BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY SO I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN IT. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT IS REMAINING ON.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INITIALLY, WHEN THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO TO EMPTY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES, THE GAUGE WOULD CORRECT ITSELF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT CORRECT ITSELF AND I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE - IT CONSTANTLY GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-75 AT 10:30PM MY HEADLIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY WENT OFF! I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND I WAS IN AN AREA THAT HAD NO LIGHTS ALONGSIDE THE ROAD. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO ATTEMPT TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I SLOWED ENOUGH TO MOVE OVER, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT BACK ON. I WAS SO SHOOK UP, I'M NOT SURE IF MY REAR LIGHTS WENT OFF AS WELL. THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ACTUALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-START MY CAR TWICE BEFORE MY LIGHTS WENT BACK ON.TODAY, ON MY WAY TO WORK, IN THE DARK, JUST BEFORE I WAS PULLING INTO OUR PARKING LOT, THEY WENT OFF AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESS ON THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW BUTTONS, MY LIGHTS DIM AND THEN BRIGHTEN. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DASH LIGHT FOR THE GAS CAP TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IN ADDITION, MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, DOES NOT GO OFF AND YET, IT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS GOING OFF RANDOMLY AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. ALL OF THE ABOVE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.I'M NOT SURE IF THESE ARE RELATED OR NOT. ALL OF THE ISSUES ARE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE AND START TO DRIVE I NOTICE 2 CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS POP ON. ONE ENGINE LIGHT HAS A ARROW POINTING DOWN AND THE OTHER JUST HAVE THE ENGINE LIGHT SYMBOL AND THE MY SPEED STARTS TO REDUCE A LOT. I WILL PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SHUT THE CAR OFF WAIT FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND CRANK IT UP AND AFTER MAYBE 15-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT POPS BACK ON. I'VE HAD THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND HE HAS SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS CHANGING, HAD THAT DONE AND THE SAME PROBLEM CAME BACK. SO I HAD MY OLD ONE PUT BACK ON AND THEN THE MECHANIC SAY MAYBE IT'S THE GAS PEDAL SENSOR. HAD THAT CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THEIR. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEP TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I NEED HELP, FROM SOMEONE, PLEASE
