WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH CORNERS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY STEER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT I'M TURNING. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED MAY 12, 2017.
9/12/2017
I DROVE THE CAR 4 MILES THEN TURNED IT OFF AND PARKED. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A WARNING ON THE DASH INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND TO DRIVE CAREFULLY. I DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME 4 MILES AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE CONDITION CLEARED AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

Got trapped inside the car in 100 degree weather plus humidity. The car started the whole and operated perfectly fine while a message prompted on the dash. After doing a push to start that morning before work. The car runs for 10mins until it shuts off. That morning closed myself in to get ready to head to work. Remote not detected prompted. It said it three times that day. The last time it said it I was heading home after getting food. After a push to start thatâs when it trapped me inside. Called 911 in Rocky Mount Nc. All they were worried about is a OnStar button. If I had to wait on them probably wouldâve been dead. Cause they have to ask a multitude of questions. Rescuers never came. While OnStar was on speaker I thought to check to see if I had the app available to unlock the doors. Usually I donât pay the bill for it thought the remote way was better. Due to the fact that the app takes a while to upload and could update at anytime as well as signal issues in certain places. Luckily it was setup on autopay. Although it did take a little while to load I was kind of at ease knowing OnStar was still on the speaker. Spoke with a Gm specialist about doing a recall. Instead expressed that, thatâs if my vehicle is even eligible for an upgrade. Had suggested the installation of physical unlock levers instead they ignored the suggestion. This is a deadly safety hazard not only for myself but for others as well. Especially if they are not alert about it. When I found that the key fob wasnât rechargeable inside the vehicle after being trapped inside it. I bought a battery from the Chevy company that was brand new but still a dead battery. Which caused me not to be able to start the vehicle at all. The only thing that help was recharging the battery on the Apple Watch charger by removing the battery from the key fob. Not everyone knows that and still isnât a good and or safe reliable method to use cause of uncertainty of battery life. Let the car go back for this reason.

THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIP. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT NOW. IT ALSO SHIFTS HARD AS IT CHANGES GEARS. I HAD TO HAVE A NEW REAR BOOT PUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL OF THE GREASE IN THE REAR WHEEL BOOT WAS ALL OVER MY WHEEL. THERE IS A ROAR IN THE REAR END WHEN YOU FIRST PULL OUT ONTO THE ROAD. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS IN THE REAR AXLE.

My air bag light keeps popping up and tells me to service the air bags system and now it does it when nobody is on the seat too, the dealer told me they found the problem and charged me 500 and some dollars and i returned the car the same day they said it was fixed cause it was doing it again , I'm scared it might deploy. I never usually have anybody with me but sometimes my wife comes with me and they say is the seat restraints and i keep getting the run around. Thank you....

The safety retention cable associated with securing the the driver's seat belt to the driver's seat broke. The stainless steel cable, being approximately 1/4" to 5/16" in diameter, became disconnected from the entire driver's side seat belt. Making the seat belt totally unusable to the driver of the vehicle. It is unknown what caused the cable to because cut and/or fail but, I am a 30 year military aviation maintenance veteran who has seen my fair share of material failure and the manner in which this cable failed is absolutely due to a material defect.

THE WINDSHIELD IS CONSTANTLY FOGGING TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD FOGS OVER BECAUSE GM STATES THAT ITS DESIGNED THAT WAY....WHICH IS GREAT IF DRIVING WITH MY HEAD OUT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. I HAVE SENT MULTIPLE PICTURES TO GM AND THEY SAY ITS NORMAL. IT'S SO RIDICULOUS THAT THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE GM IS NO HELP. GM CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISMISS THIS SEROIUS PLROBLEM. IF YOU CANT SEE OUT OF A WINDSHIELD, HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE SAFELY??? I CAN SUBMIT MULTIPLE PICTURES OF MYSELF ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING.
