Air bags, side/windowOct 16, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain vehicles. The affected vehicles have front seat-mounted side impact air bags whose inflator may rupture upon its deployment.

Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side impact air bag modules, free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2015.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS IN I STARTED TO NOTICE A NOISE EVERY TIME I TURNED LEFT. IT WAS A SMALL NOISE SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE. NOW IT IS MORE NOTICABLE BUT THE CAR IS DRIVING FINE UNLESS I MAKE A LEFT TURN IT'S LIKE A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT A YEAR. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE THE CAR RUNS GREAT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS - FRONT, COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. DEALERSHIP SAID AND REPLACED WIPER MODULE, 84241847:SL-N (10150-CT). THIS WAS IN A RECALL FOR THE EQUINOX. DEALERSHIP SAID OUR CAR WAS NOT RECALLED. ALSO, CAR WAS PRODUCED IN THEIR CANADIAN PLANT WHERE THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH SAME. FOUND IT IRONIC AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND EXPRESSED THAT TO GM WHEN CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED & OFFERED $100.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND STARTED TO RAIN. TURNED ON WIPERS AND THEY WORKED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN HEARD A POP AND THEY GOT STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. PULLED OVER IN THE RAIN. OPENED UP THE COVER AND SEE THAT THE LINKAGE FOR THE WIPERS IS CORRODED AND BROKEN. THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. WENT TO LOOK UP THE PART WHEN I GOT HOME AND SEE THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA! WHY JUST CANADA? SAFETY IN THE USA DOESN'T MATTER? COME ON CHEVROLET, REALLY?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY. FOUND THAT RODENTS HAD EATEN THROUGH WIRE TO OXYGEN SENSOR CAUSING IT TO ARCH. TOLD US THIS WAS THE SECOND VEHICLE THEY HAD REPAIRED WITH THIS DAMAGE YESTERDAY. SUSPICION THAT NON-PETROLEUM BASED WIRE CAUSING RODENTS TO EAT WIRES. ARCHING CAN CAUSE FIRES. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS ON FIXED INCOME. HAD BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY TO PROTECT US FROM UNEXPECTED REPAIRS, BUT WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED. IF THEY ARE MANUFACTURING WIRE COVERING IN SOMETHING LIKE SOY OIL THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS, HOW CAN WE BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT IN THIS INCIDENT EXCEPT IN THE POCKETBOOK. SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE TIMING BELT FRACTURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE CONTACT HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RATHER THAN A GM DEALER, WHICH VOIDED THE WARRANTY.

ABOUT 4-6 MONTHS AGO, MY CAR STARTED TO JOLT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING IT, BUT IT NEVER SHUT OFF. LAST WEEK, WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE CAR DIED WHEN I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE TO LEAVE. IT TOOK A WHILE TO TURN BACK ON, BUT DID START UP AGAIN. ON MY WAY HOME, IT SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION. ONCE I GOT HOME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I WENT TO WASH IT, AS I DO WEEKLY, AND FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. THE NEXT MORNING, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED, I DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY. THEY ATTEMPTED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND DIAGNOSE IT FOR THE GREATER PART OF THE DAY. THE MACHINE WAS READING A CAM SHAFT ISSUE; HOWEVER, WHEN THEY INSPECTED IT, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH IT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX SEVERAL TIMES AND THAT CHANGING THE INTAKE/OUTTAKE VALVES GIVES A TEMPORARY RESOLVE; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY COMES DOWN TO THE ENGINE/MOTOR HAVING TO BE REPLACED, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY A $6000 REPAIR BILL, OR TAKE A COMPLETE LOSS ON THE CAR., BECAUSE METAL SHARDS AND OTHER THINGS GET TRAPPED IN THE ENGINE/MOTOR THAT CAN'T BE REMOVED. THEY DID REPLACE THE VALVES, WHICH COST ME $400+, TOLD ME TO KEEP DOING WHAT I DO, IN TERMS OF KEEPING MAINTENANCE UP, AND HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE THE ENGINE/MOTOR NEEDS REPLACING. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY TRANSPORTATION AND THAT OF MY TWO CHILDREN (AGES 1 & 11). I CANNOT HAVE MY CAR STOP, IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT, AND HAVE THAT RESULT IN A FATAL LOSS OF ME AND/OR MY CHILDREN. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL CAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS ALARMING THAT NO RECALL IS IN PLACE. THE CONSUMER IS BEING LEFT TO COVER THE COST OF SAFETY IN FAULTY VEHICLES.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO. A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT DRIVING AT NIGHT IS DANGEROUS. IT USED TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY GREAT, NOW I CAN HARDLY SEE 2 CARS AHEAD OF ME. AND ON THE SIDES EVERYTHING IS DARK. I MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP WHO INSISTS IT IS WORKING OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY REFUSE DEAL WITH MY CAR. I ALSO CONTACTED GM ON THIS. ALSO I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION THAT THE LIGHTS GO DIM WHEN STARTING. INSIDE AND OUT. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT ALONE I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS ON PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY WHATS TO WAIT AROUND UNTIL DARK TO SEE WHAT I'M NOT SEEING...THE ROAD ! I ASKED MY DEALSHIP I PURCHASED TOP PLEASE GO WITH ME, THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. GUY GAVE ME LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES., WAS NOT TOTALLY DARK, BUT HE DID SEE SOMETHING. OH YES THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED LIGHTS, AND THEY SAID THEY CHANGED 1 LIGHT BULB IN EACH HEADLIGHT..AND SAID THEY ADJUSTED THEM., AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY CAR BACK !! REAL PROFESSIONAL ! RIGHT ? NOTHING CHANGED. THAT IS WHY I TRULY BELIEVE THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT FIX. SO I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN ONLY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I'M TRYING TO FIND A PLEASE . WHERE I AN TRUST TO BRING MY CAR. REALLY BAD. I HAVE A PAPER TRAIL ON MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEFINATELY NOT TRUST WORTHY. YOU KNOW ITS BAD WHEN YOU HAVE THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELL ME HIS WIFE DRIVES WITH THE HIGH BEAMS, AND IT WAS OK.. I USED TO GET FLASHED WHEN MY LOW BEAMS WERE ON ! NOT NOW , I PUT MY HI BEAMS ON TO SEE THE REACTION FROM ONCOMING CARS...ALL TEN CARS THAT PASSED ME DID NOT FLASH THEIR LIGHTS TO TELL ME TO TURN OFF MY HIGH BEAMS. AN ASSOC. ASKED MY IF I WAS WEARN SUNGLASSES AT NITE! THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR WAS AT ROBERT GREENS IN MONTICELLO NY.

SUNROOF PROBLEMS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS A NICE DAY ABOUT 73 DEGREES WITH NOBODY AROUND THE VEHICLE AND SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD NOISE (SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN GOING OFF). I INVESTIGATED BY OPENING THE SUNROOF SUNSHADE AND COULD SEE THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED UPWARDS. I CONTINUED ABOUT A MILE AND EXITED OFF INTERSTATE AND LOOKED AT THE SUNROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE EQUINOX AND YOU COULD HEAR IT CONTINUING TO CRACK. I DECIDED AT THAT POINT TO TAKE A SECONDARY ROAD HOME ABOUT 4 MILES AND LOST A PIECE OF THE SUNROOF BEFORE I GOT BACK HOME. I TURNED THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY STATED IT HAD TO BE AN IMPACT. I AM SURE THERE WAS NO IMPACT, THIS SUN ROOF EXPLODED UPWARDS. THERE NEED TO BE SOME TYPE OF POLY GLASS IN THIS TYPE OF ROOF TO PREVENT SHATTERED GLASS FROM FLYING OFF AND HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS FROM DANGER.

I PARKED MY CAR ON MONDAY NIGHT AND HEARD A RATTLING NOISE AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS KNOCKING. I TURNED IT ON AND OFF AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I GET IN TO TAKE MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS 58,352 MILES SO IT AS FAR I KNOW IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS I HAVE LESS THAT 100,000 MILES AND ITS ONLY 3 YRS OLD SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. WELL GM WILL NOT COVER THE MOTOR BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE OIL CHANGES DONE. SINCE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE OIL CHANGES DESPITE THAT FACT THAT I DID THEM EVERY 3000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A NEW MOTOR YET I STILL HAVE TO PAY $510 A MONTH FOR A CAR THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE. GRAY CHEVROLET IS THE DEALER THE CAR IS AT AND THEY ARE THE WORST. GM DOESN'T HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES AND SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A GM VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. WHY WAS THERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD PRIOR? HOW DO I NEED A MOTOR OVER NIGHT WHEN I HAD NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY? WHY IS THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY OR AT LEAST SEND SOMEONE TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE? WHY WON'T GM AT LEAST CALL GRAY CHEVROLET TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AS OPPOSED TO READING SOMETHING TO ME FROM A COMPUTER SCREEN? WHY WOULD THEY NOT TRY TO ASSIST THEIR CUSTOMERS? IM STRANDED WITH 2 KIDS AND NO ONE CARE. DON'T EVER BY ANY VEHICLE FROM GM!!!!!!!!

EVERY WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING (OFTEN IN NORTHERN WI) MY WIPER FLUID FREEZES DESPITE USING WIPER FLUID RATED FOR -25 TO -28 DEGREES. THIS EFFECTS BOTH FRONT AND BACK WASHER SPRAYERS. THE BACK IS NOT A PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THE FRONT FREEZE UP RESULTS IN DECREASED VISIBILITY FROM THE ROAD SALT AND DIRT WHEN DRIVING CAUSING FREQUENT STOPS TO MANUALLY POUR WASHER FLUID OUT OF A BOTTLE AND THEN USE WIPERS. OFTEN THIS WORKS ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, DEPENDING UPON THE TRAFFIC, BEFORE HAVING TO REPEAT THE ABOVE PROCEDURE. PURCHASING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED SUCH A PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T EVEN HELP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING TO WARM UP FOR A HALF HOUR OR LONGER.
