STEERING
MY STEERING COLUMN CAME COMPLETELY OUT AND PINNED ME BACK TO THE SEAT AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS HIT AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 60-65 MPH. THE GUY NEVER HIT HIS BRAKES BUT HIT ME AND PUSHED ME THROUGH THE LIGHT. PICTURES ARE POSTED. THE SCRATCH MARK IS OF THE ROOF, WHERE STEERING COLUMN ALMOST WENT THROUGH IT. GM DID SEND AN ENGINEER DOWN TO MY HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE, HE WAS THERE 5 HRS AND WHEN HE LEFT HE WAS STILL SHOCKED THAT A REAR END AND IT DID THIS. HE DID SAY THAT IF I HAD OF BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD AREA I WOULD BE DEAD. I DID HAVE SURGERY ON MY LEFT THUMB AND WRIST I HAD A RUPTURE OF THE ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT WITH AVULSION TO MY LEFT THUMB. SURGEON STATES I WILL NEVER BE 100% AGAIN..

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HIGH MOUNT LED BRAKE LIGHT IS MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD AT AN ANGLE THAT RECEIVES DIRECT HEAT FROM THE SUN CAUSING A SLIM CRACK ON THE BRAKE LED BOARD. THE CRACK WILL SHIFT BACK AND FORTH SOMETIMES ILLUMINATING WHEN BRAKING BUT AT TIMES THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD WILL PREVENT THE LAMP FROM ILLUMINATING CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO PASSENGERS OF INSUFFICIENT BRAKE NOTIFICATION TO TRAFFIC FOLLOWING BEHIND. A REPLACEMENT LED LAMP WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE BASED ON THE ANGLE OF THE LAMP POSITIONED FACING THE DIRECT HEAT OF THE SUN. I WAS IN MOTION AND PULLED OVER BY LE BECAUSE THE LAMP WAS OUT BUT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE OFFICER AND I TESTED IT. MECHANICS INSPECTED THE LAMP AND FOUND THE SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD THAT ALLOWED SHIFTING OF CONTACTS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPORTED THIS SLIM CRACK ON THE LED BOARD AS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE SUN BEARING DOWN ON THE LED LAMP WHICH IS ANGLED OUT WITH NO VISOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FACTORY RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON WITH BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE RADIO ITSELF ALONG WITH THE A/C UNIT SHUTTING DOWN AND BACK UP. THE TURN SIGNAL ALSO DO NOT MAKE ANY SOUND. SOMETIMES, IF I TURN-OFF THE CAR AND PULL THE KEY OUT AND BACK IN AND CRACK EVERTHING RETURNS AS NORMAL. ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE POINTS TO THE RADIO. THEY JUST REPLACE IT WITH A AFTERMARKET. THEY DO NOT MAKE MY RADIO ANY MORE. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEVICE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY CITY STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I BELIEVE IT WAS A POT HOLE OR JUST UNEVEN GRAVEL LEADING MY KNEE HIT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IN THAT SECOND I HAD NO CONTROL OR CONTROL OF WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. I COULD NOT BRAKE, MY SEAT BELT LOCKED ON ME HURTING MY COLLAR BONE, THEN MY WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO TURN I WAS USING BOTH HANDS AGGRESSIVELY TO TURN AS HARD AS I CAN JUST SO I WOULDN'T HIT A BUILDING OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO OTHERS AND AS I WAS STERLING I WOULD KEEP PRESSING THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE JUST LOCKED. I HAD TO HIT A BARRIER OF WOOD TO STOP MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS NOT MY FAULT, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED AND I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE OF THE KEY BEING BUMPED. MY RECALL # 14V346000 ACCIDENTAL BUMPING OF KEY IGNITION. I HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR HAD A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT INFORM ME EITHER. I AM NOW CAR -LESS AND HOPING TO GET SOMEWHAT TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE AND I DON'T WISH THIS ON ANYONE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY THE SUN BECAUSE OF THE USELESSNESS OF THE SMALL SUNVISOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH FRONT VISIBILITY OR TRYING TO SHIELD EYES FROM THE SIDE WINDOW. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ALSO BEEN EFFECTED THE SAME WAY. THE VISORS ARE NOT DEEP OR LONG ENOUGH RESPECTIVELY TO BE OF ANY VALUE. THIS CONCERN IS MORE SEVERE WHEN EXPRESS WAY DRIVING OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AND PROMPTED THIS REPORTING.
