LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE LOCK ON THE REAR, DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIRS UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY SON IS IN A CAR SEAT AND IS NOT ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR HIMSELF. THERE ARE MULTIPLE THREADS ONLINE OF PEOPLE ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. SHAME ON GM FOR NOT COVERING THIS WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT!!! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SINCE NOVEMBER 11, 2014, THE STABILITY TRACK TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I RECENTLY RELOCATED TO PHILADELPHIA, PA FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A SENSOR (THAT ACCORDING ONE HONEST DEALER, DOESN'T EXIST). THE WORST MOMENT OF ALL WAS DURING A DRIVE INTO WORK AFTER MOVING TO PHILADELPHIA. IT WAS SNOWING MAYBE AN INCH OR TWO, THE STABILITY CONTROL TURNED OFF ON IT'S OWN. I WENT TO BREAK AND MY TRUCK PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND BOUNCED TO A STOP, NARROWLY AVOIDING A COUPLE STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE OFFICE BY DRIVING 25 MILES PER HOUR FOR 10 MILES. I AGAIN CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS ONE WHO AGREED TO LOOK AT MY TRUCK AT NO COST. HE HAD MY TRUCK FOR THE DAY AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WHAT I FOUND WAS MOST OF THE DEALERS ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE BLOCK, NEVER MORE THEN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES AT SPEEDS AROUND 45 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR FOR THIS ISSUE TO SHOW. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER TO DRIVE MY TRUCK IN THE SAME CONDITION THEY STATED THEY DON'T DO THAT. SO STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS MAKES NO SINCE THAT CHEVY HAS NOT PUT OUT ANY STATEMENTS OR EXPLAINED THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE TO KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING IF THIS ISN'T ANOTHER "HIDE THE FINDINGS UNTIL WE GET CAUGHT" APPROACH. SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A FEW LAWSUITS OR CLASS ACTION SUIT. SEEMS THESE GUYS DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HIT THEM IN THEIR POCKETS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVE-THRU AT MY LOCAL BANK I PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT THE WINDOW & THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS SOMEONE AT THE ATM & I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP BEFORE I RAN OVER THEM. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP & THEY TOLD ME BEFORE THEY PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHAT WAS PROBABLY WRONG WITH IT. RUSTED BRAKE LINE(S). I SAID SURELY NOT ON A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THEY SAID OH YEAH WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE A LOT OLDER VEHICLES AT HOME THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE INFERIOR MATERIALS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE TO SAVE A BUCK FOR THE COMPANY. *TR

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES. ONE LOCATION IS RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE OTHER IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN PLASTIC BREAKING FREE AND BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES WITHIN THE CABIN. LIKE MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT, AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE WAY THAT GM DESIGNED THE DASHBOARDS AND THE MATERIALS USED FOR THE DASHBOARDS ARE THE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE. BOTH GM AND OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAVE DENIED ME ANY ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. *TR
