THE VEHICLE STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 15 MPH. SHE HEARD STRANGE NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE FOR FIVE WEEKS. CHEVROLET SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO DRIVE IN THAT MANNER.

THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION ARE THESE THE SAME SEATBELTS I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. CAN SOMEONE LOOK INTO IT. *TR

LOOSE STEERING CAUSED BY OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO ADDRESS A PERMEATE REMEDY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 GMC SUBURBAN HOME WITH MY FAMILY. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED I WAS DRIVING AT 90 MILES AN HOUR. WHAT A SURPRISE. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING WRONG. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME I WAS GOING 120 MILES AN HOUR PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THIS JUST HAPPENED AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT FIXED. I READ MANY BLOGS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL. I WORK FOR GM AND I AM VERY EMBARRASSED BY THIS QUALITY ISSUE. SO MUCH FOR THE QUALITY OF GM VEHICLES WHEN I SEE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *NM

TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH OVER THUS ISSUE. GM SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE AIRBAGS, DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS, IT'S NOW BEEN 4 YEARS AND NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING TO ENFORCE THE RECALLS.
