ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SO AS I'M DRIVING (IN MOTION) WHETHER IT BE 30 MPH OR 70 MPH MY CAR DIES OUT. DOES NOT SHUT OFF, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER BECAUSE I CANNOT MOVE. I SPOKE TO MECHANICS AND THEY ARE SAYING IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. AS I RESEARCH THIS, THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AGAINST GM AND NOTHING NOT ONE THING HAS BEEN DONE. DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AS YOUR DRIVING 70 MPH AND THEN HAVE NO CONTROL OF SPEED IN THE PASSING LANE OR REGULAR LANE THAT YOU CAN GET KILLED MY ANOTHER CAR? IF YOU GO UNDER CHEVROLET YOU CAN SEE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I ASKED IF THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT. IT IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. YET GM KNOWS THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THEY ARE JUST NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. THEY WILL WAIT TIL SOMEONE DIES FIRST AND THEN FIX IT. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE THROTTLE FOR IT IS JUST NOT MY CAR FOR I HAVE RESEARCHED HOW MANY CARS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, AND KNOWING THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS INDICATED ON COMPLAINTS TO GM THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR SAFETY REASONS. IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY GRANDCHILDREN AROUND OR WHEN MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE CAR I WILL NEVER FORGIVE GM. ESPECIALLY WHERE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PART. NOW I PUT THIS AS OF 11/1/15 BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY TIME IT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEN. I AM VERY WORRIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, YET IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THIS FIX AND IT IS NOT UNDER A $2,000 WARRANTY INSURANCE I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR. APRIL 2014 IS WHEN I BOUGHT THIS USED CAR AND HAVE HAD IT TOWED 2X ALREADY AND ENGINE LIGHTS ON 2X HAD TO HAVE REPAIRED. SO THINKING THERE HAS TO BE RECALLS ON THIS CAR AND NOTHING IS BEING SHOWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING THAT SIMILAR TO PLASTIC BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANYTHING BUT NOW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FUSES BLOWN FOR LOW BEAMS AND DRL. ULTIMATELY ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE NOW GONE OUT ALONG WITH NO TAIL LIGHTS OR LOW BEAMS OR DRLS AT ALL AND NO HORN. DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE FUSE BLOCK IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 83,000 AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT THERE FOR THE DRL MODULE MELTING OR CATCHING ON FIRE BUT LOW AND BEHOLD MY CAR IS NOT ON THAT RECALL BUT LOOKS TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE. IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND THE KEY WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DID ALSO THINK IT ODD THAT MY KEY WOULD BE HOT TO TOUCH WHEN IT WOULD RELEASE ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WHEN THE FAILURE INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE LIGHTS AND ALL THAT I COULD NOTICE WAS WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT CRANKING THE CAR, BUT THE SECOND TIME AFTER CHANGING OUT THE FUSE, THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN AFTER I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC.

AIR BAGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS REAR ENDED AND IT WAS NOT A BAD ACCIDENT BUT NEEDED A BUMPER AND I NOTICED THAT AFTER THIS HAPPENED MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT THEN THE BUMPER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY LOOKED AT THE AIRBAG LIGHT SENSOR AND RESET IT. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SUGGESTED I CHECK ON THE INTERNET FOR ANY RECALLS. I DID NOT SEE ANY. CAN YOU SUGGEST ANYTHING. I FEEL THAT THEY DID NOT REALLY PROPERLY CHECK OUT THE SENSOR LIGHT OR TO MAKE SURE THE AIRBAG IS OK.
