General Motors condensor

The a/c condenser has failed in my 2018 Chevrolet Suburban. Upon researching this problem, there was a class action for years [protected] for several Chevrolet suv's/trucks. My car was manufactured in 2017, and purchased in Jan. 2018. This car is 4 years old, 45,000 miles. There's no way my condenser should've failed. This seems to be a problem related to the class action for the years prior. I should not be responsible for any amount of this replacement. GM should be covering it. It's pretty discouraging to hear from the CHEVROLET Service dept that I have to pay for this out of pocket. Perhaps there will be another class action to include cars "build date". This is the 3rd suburban I've owned. Now I feel like it will be the last.

Desired outcome: GM to pay the entire amount of repair, and extend the warranty date as was done on years [protected].

General Motors Safety issue - Passenger airbag

We purchased our 2nd Chevy Impala LTZ on 6/27/2015. In March 2020, we received notice from GM regarding a safety issue with the passenger airbag. The communication stated that GM would "repair free of charge within 5 years of purchase date OR 80,000 miles, whichever came first". By the time we received the notice, we had just exceeded the 80,000 miles and our 'service airbag' message had just begun to start going off on the car message center. When I called to discuss with GM, I was advised the best they could do was to offer a partial payment for the repair cost, which in total was almost $2,000 (per the local dealer). The case number for this item is 9-[protected] dated 3/22/20. This seemed unacceptable at the time, but we didn't feel that we had much of an option. Since then, the 'service airbag' message goes off constantly and the car 'bell' also dings every time it goes off. We thought we could simply remove the fuse, but we've been advised against that citing "safety issues". IT IS A SAFEY ISSUE! The passenger airbag shows to be 'OFF', so if we were in an accident, it would not deploy. We have been a loyal customer for over 30 years. In addition, our parents have bought Chevy's for as long as we can remember. We paid enough for the car to begin with and feel that it is not unreasonable to expect the car's airbags to function properly. Our 'luxury' car is more frustrating to drive than being able to enjoy!

Desired outcome: Repair of the issue, free of charge.

General Motors 2008 HHR

I recently [75000 miles] had the solenoid failtransmission fail.

Garage wants too much to get fixed. I have purchased

numerous gm products over the years but you can bet your

bottom line if i ever buy such an worthless piece of

defective equiptment again. I don't need this aggravation. I

am a veteran senior on a fixed income. I cannot afford to

have it fixed, so i guess i just suffer like the multitude of the

complaintants about your hhr.

Desired outcome: YOU PAY FOR AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM, GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE WILL HAPPEN

General Motors 2016 Chevy Equinox VIN #2GNFLFEK0G6200819

RE: 2016 Chevy Equinox VIN #2GNFLFEK0G6200819

Hello,

I reached out to your offices in December of 2021 as my 2016 Equinox experienced catastrophic engine failure because of a timing chain. The GM certified mechanic said he had never seen anything like it. If you look at the prior complaint, I wound up stuck with an $8700 bill and a new engine. GM sent me $500 and recently a $2500 loyalty reward that needs to be used within the year. (Come on guys, I am a teacher. I am not buying a new vehicle within the year.)

As of March 28th, 2022, I took the Equinox into Riverside Auto in Escanaba (a GM certified center) and they wouldn’t even let me leave with it - it was leaking so much oil and experiencing catastrophic engine failure AGAIN less than 90 days after the install. They have it as of today, May 10th, 2022, STILL, and found over 15+ errors in the installation of the engine in December.

So I please need either some sort of compensation or your mediation in the $8700 bill from Keweenaw Chevrolet in December 2021. I am so frustrated and upset that in the midst of a UP winter when I should be able to rely on my Michigan-made vehicle has spent over 50% of the winter in a shop because a five year old vehicle isn’t reliable? Even when it is serviced by a GM certified mechanic and garage? That seems absurd.

I am furious and frustrated.

Your help and intervention are greatly appreciated.



Thank you,

Heather French

Desired outcome: I please need either some sort of compensation or your mediation in the $8700 bill from Keweenaw Chevrolet in December 2021.

General Motors Chevy Trax 2016

4/20/21

Attention General Motors:

My name is Bonnie Howard, and I purchased a Chevy Trax in 2018. The vehicle as approximately 60000 miles and I have had work completed twice for a check engine light issue. One time I was reimbursed money from General Motors due to a problem not listed as a recall but a problem. I was without my vehicle for 4 days and it had to be worked on twice before it was fixed. Once again about 2 months later my check engine light came on again. I have included the bill to have these repairs which again I was without my vehicle for 4 days. The cost of this was over 2400.00. I want to know why a car with these few miles on it only 4 years old has a price tag this large to get it repaired. I am very displeased with this vehicle because of the price I have paid for it and now the price that I have paid to have something repaired. I feel like this is a fault in the vehicle especially since you have one office not a recall and I have a similar check engine light come on. The only reason I am keeping this vehicle at this time only to see if this is a recall and then I will be ridding myself of this vehicle and not repurchasing a Chevrolet. I also want to add my husband bought a brand-new truck the same year and his engine blew within the first 30 days of the purchase of the vehicle. Of course, you replace the engine but looking back on this I am concerned about the dependability of the product at this time which is why I will not be purchasing another Chevrolet product. I have enclosed the billing that I had to pay for a vehicle that is only 4 years old with 60,00 miles. I have a Mills Chevrolet Trax Invoice for a charge of 2470.24 worth or work done on my vehicle that is only 4 years old.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate you looking into this being a possible recall as I can't believe that a car this new with that many miles would have to have this type of work needing to be done.

General Motors Manufacturer's defect - water leak into the vehicle / sunroof drain house recall

Yes, I am following up with my 2008 GMC Acadia that I purchased off the show room floor through a GMC dealer; our first trip to the mountains and our vehicle was left outdoors; we witness water coming through our dome lights and down our front window and seatbelts into the car. I took it to the dealer as soon as I got back into town, and they said it was the drain tubes and they were plugged. Not sure why; it was in the show room and from there we had it garaged. Nevertheless, they said they fix it, and I went on my way. However, I did contact the Lemon law on 6-3-2008; because I spent 49K and I didn’t like that water is making my vehicle smell; They told me to let them fix it first; which I did; the next time we left the vehicle outside at the Oregon Airport; for 2 weeks,

When we return the car smelled moldy, and when we drove off the lot; water was sloshing around and into our car. I took it back to the dealer; and they kept the car and said the ran it through a car wash and they couldn’t find any leaks. However, I continued to park it in the garage; this has been going on since I purchased the vehicle; and they keep saying they can’t find any leaks. But yet, when it rains and I’m driving it; water is coming into the car. Contact the lemon law and I was told that some of the GMC, Acadia’s drivers were dealing with a water leak problem which was leaving them and their passengers (all wet) not to mention the floorboards and the electrical systems.

I was told to return to my dealer and let them know. Which I did just again to be ignored; because they said they already check my vehicle, and they couldn’t get water to come into my car. Again, I took a trip to Seattle; and had to leave the car outside; the dealer said it was fix. When I got into the car my floorboards were soak and wet; and water was coming out of my vents and dome lights. I took it to a different dealer, and they said they would have to see the water coming in. They suggested me take it back to the original dealer, which I did, and they said it was the drain tube in the sunroof they were plugged again. In Feb, traveled and it was raining, and I had to leave my car out; and when I got in it the floorboards were soak. When I returned, I tried to start it and it wouldn’t start, I jumped it and took the car to the battery store, and they said that my battery was submerged in water and all my electrical wires are all wet. That the car is a hazard and not safe to drive; they had it towed to the dealer. I paid a lot of many for this vehicle; I purchased it for 49K off the show room floor. This car was not sealed or built properly, and GM needs to make it right. All I want is for my car to get fix; I want the water leak fixed; if it means sealing the car; unplugging the tubes again; putting a new sunroof in. But GM needs to pay for it. Because this is a defect, in the way they put this car together, when they built it.

Because this is a defect, in the way they put this car together, when they built it. And also, they need to detail it and make sure all the electrical wires are dry and not corroded, that there is no mold or mildew; in the car and that it is safe to drive.

This is all hazardous to your health. Bacteria, fungus, mold, and spores can all grow from accumulated condensation in your AC system. This can cause allergy, asthma

Recalls on certain 2008 Acadia's, 2008 Buick Enclave, 2008 Saturn outlooks, all have had a recall on manufacture defect. Sunroof water Leak-Install Drain Tube Extensions.

All have a condition in which water is not properly drained away from the sunroof. Causing water to enter our interior and dampen the carpet, upholstery, and other interior components.

All am asking for you guys to do the right thing. We want the car cleaned and disinfected and for you to make sure that there is no mold or mildew growing anywhere; carpets cleaned and shampooed; and that it is safe to drive; fix leaking problem. Whatever that entails. We just want a safe; reliable vehicle to take family trips which we do not have to rely on the weather.

Please contact Pablo at [protected]; and authorize the repairs; please.

they have had my car since 2-16.

Desired outcome: Please contact Pablo the Service manager at GMC at [protected] and please authorize the repairs, Manufacture defect Recall on drain tubes

General Motors Forced to pay $5000.00 over list price

Hi: We have been loyal GM customers our entire lives. My father retired from the Tarrytown Plant some years ago. This past year I took my daughter to buy a Chevy Trailblazer. We were forced to pay an extra $5000.00 over list. This did not sit well with us, but we were told to take it or leave it. As my daughter needed a car, we were forced to take it. I would like to know what General Motors stance is with Dealers that took advantage of customers with the supply chain issues we all faced because of the pandemic. Thanks Joe Karas 222 Ketchum Ave Buchanan NY 10511 Family First Legacies. Cell [protected]

Desired outcome: Refund of over payment

General Motors Cadillac escalade esv 2019 pre owned

Hello

I want to explain about Cadillac 1 star services from the purchasing time until now!

I bought pre owned Cadillac Escalade esv 2019 from

Dutton Cadillac riverside, California

8201 Auto Dr #101, Riverside, CA 92504

(I bought The car with full warranty bumper to bumper) + the extended warranty

I hope I purchased Mercedes or anything not Cadillac

Anyway I will trade it soon if the company keep going like that

This branch is so bad used cars sales manager and so bad maintenance service and have a fake promises and doesn't have a good experience to fix the problems

I found the car has two problems

1- doors need adjustment or something broken on the doors parts and I told that to the maintenance man

So its Protruding to the outside and entering the air from the sides with noise

2- And the engine shaking up and downs when I stop the car

So I went back to the service Man his name is (michael smith)

He told me its ok we will take care of the doors its under warranty and we will see the shaking on the engine so he scheduled appointment for me after 2 months+ to bring the car to fix all these things

When the appointment time is coming

He take the car for 4 days for nothing

But the problem He doesn't fix anything

He told me the car is shaking but no problem on the car after the test

And I asked him to change the engine air filter and I will pay for that he doesn't change it!

He just hold the car for 4 days for nothing

And he told me the doors now not under warranty you need to pay and fix it!

Why why why! I bought the car like that and doesn't accept it and you promised!

He called the used car sales manager (Travis)

And he told him I need to pay for that

So what's the fake warranty that I have it

And why he promised me that it's covered and they can fix it!

and after that he change his mind

And why he doesn't told me that from the beginning so I can return the car from the first week!

Now the car doors need to fix it

And the engine still shaking I changed engine air filter and engine mount and the oil change on time all the services now on the Cadillac dealership on buena park branch and these guys the same the can't know what's the shaking, I told a lot of friends they have the same car drive my car is it shaking or no?

They told me your is not normal and has engine or transmission problem

This very very very bad experience for my first time and I think it's the last time too with Cadillac company

I am not happy at all and not satisfied and if you doesn't fix the problems I will broke my car on the front of Cadillac Beverly Hills and I don't want this car anymore

And I will share all this experience on my friend youtube channel to let the 24 million followers see this company how they work and thefts the people

I have all the pictures and videos with dates and time and all the inspections orders all with engine shaking!

I hope I can found someone he has power and honest in Cadillac to help me as a brother not to stealing my money with fake promises

General Motors Parts unavailable anywhere

I took my 2009 Pontiac Torrent 3.4L V6 Base model into a dealer 03/14/2022 for repairs on the Stabilitrak system. They said they would call when the part came. No calls, I called them. They can't get a steering wheel position/angle sensor for my car. I called other dealers in Houston and surfed the web. Apparently either there is no such part on my vehicle or they are not looking. They took my $73 to diagnose the problem but now they ignore me.

Desired outcome: Get the part, make the repair, I pay the amount due

General Motors Property Damage

My vehicle (2017 buick cascada) was at a gm dealership on September 19th, 2021 for problem that was covered under warranty. Upon the return of the vehicle to my residence it was not fixed properly & oil leaked on a portion of my driveway. The company tried to pressure wash the oil stains, but was not successful. I kept being told that it would be fixed contacted the dealership several times & got the run around as they were in the process of selling it. Once the dealership was sold I contacted the new general manager & he said it wasn't his problem. I asked him to contact the previous owner & ask that they contact me to see how they were going to handle this, which they did.

After speaking with the previous owner's secretary several times and not receiving any answers I kept calling her & after finally getting her to answer the phone today, she informed me that the previous owner has not interest in fixing my driveway.

I'm hoping that you will be able to help me fix this problem.

Desired outcome: I'd appreciate a response as to how you will be able to help me get my driveway fixed.

General Motors GM increased the standard dealer price after truck was ordered

On January 15, 2022 I went to Frank Boucher Chevrolet in Racine, WI to order a new Chevrolet Silverado. After the order was made, I was told my truck would more than likely arrive in March or April. Frank Boucher contacted me on March 28, 2022 to confirm they had received my truck. I was very excited until I saw the window sticker/vehicle locator MSRP had increased $2,200 from the original order. Frank Boucher told me the price increased because my truck was the “refreshed” model. I requested they honor the price given to me on January 15, 2022 and was told no. I was also told 0% financing for 48 months was not available on the new “refreshed” model even though Chevrolet.com is advertising 0% 48 months for the 2022 Silverado.

I know this is an extremely challenging time due to supply chain constraints which is why I ordered this truck to avoid market adjustments that many dealerships are making. I was fine waiting if I knew I would get the truck I wanted at a price that would not increase. Now after two and a half months of waiting I have to start looking for a new vehicle again instead of taking delivery of my new Silverado because GM and Frank Boucher will not honor the original price and provide current 0% financing and incentives. Hopefully, Ford does not treat customers like this. As you can imagine I am very disappointed, I have been a lifelong GM customer who has only purchased new and used GM vehicles (2018 Chevy Malibu – new, 2007 Pontiac G6 – new, 1996 Monte Carlo – used, 1994 & 1991 Beretta – used).

Attached is the original order on 1.15.22 for 58,105 and the window sticker from 3.28.22 for 60,305. The options price and dealer finance charge have not changed which means GM raised the standard vehicle price.

Lastly, hopefully this will lead to change, so GM does not lose other customers.

Desired outcome: GM should make this right by honoring the 1.15.22 price and current financing and incentives/rebates. Greed is not good business. Better business practices will ensure loyal customers like I once was.

General Motors Chevrolet Dealership Service

Had an 8:30 appointment to have my oil changed on my 2015 Silverado @ Sterling McCall Chevrolet in Houston, TX. I pulled into the service area at 8:33. A ported told me my service rep. was with another customer ahead of me and would be with me shortly. I stood there for 25 minutes. I asked twice "how much longer it would take or if another service rep. could take my truck." My service rep. walked through the door at 8:57 with a tray full of Starbucks. Obviously, I had been lied to. This is the third time this dealership hasn't had their act together. I first being when the service rep scheduled an appointment when my parts would be in to replace the air conditioning unit. When I arrived, not only were the parts not in, they had no record of my appointment even though I showed them the email I had received from them. The second time I was called and told my truck was complete. When I got there the service rep was yelling at the service technician because she had said my truck was not complete and they had missed one of the items that needed to done. I waiting 45 minutes for them to finish. She wouldn't tell me what it was so I had no way of knowing if it was ever really done. I have been a loyal GM customer for over 30 years. Until today, I was going to get purchase another Silverado from the dealership and had a quote for my trade in. I no longer want another GM product because of the terrible customer service your dealership's service departments provide.

Desired outcome: I really don't have any desired outcome. I just want to let you know, why a loyal customer for over 30 years will no longer buy General Motors products.

General Motors Faulty radio

I bought my 2018 Chevy sonic new in April 2018 from Advantage Chevrolet in countryside IL. When I took my car back there to have the oil changed at 5,000 miles, I asked them to look at the radio because it was shutting off by itself and the backup camera had gone grainy, not a sharp picture like it usually is. They told me the radio just needed an update and it was fine when I left. I had the same problem at about 15,000 miles and took it back to the same dealership, and same outcome. I started having the same problems again with the radio at about 24,000 miles but it was getting worse, the radio switches on the steering wheel were becoming unresponsive, the radio would shut off and I would have to turn off the car and restart to get the radio back on. This time I took it to Campbell Chevrolet in Bowling Green KY, my local dealership. They also told me it just needed an update and the radio was working fine when I left. Now, at 55,000 miles the radio had been having the same old issues for a while but it was never a big inconvenience until the radio stuck on. I tried to turn it down, off, change stations but nothing worked, not even shutting the car off and exiting the vehicle. When I got home I called the dealership and they said to pull the fuse and bring the car in, which I did on 11/15/21. At this point they told me that my radio was bad and needed replacement at a cost of $986.00 plus labor. I was naturally upset because this was the fourth time I had taken my car in for this problem but now, only when my car is past warranty, do they want to change the radio. They also charged me $106 to have the technician install my fuse and listen to the radio play for an hour. I have a conversation on my dash cam between the tech and the service manager talking and my car sitting there with the radio on and no one working on it. The service manager made some rude comments and told the technician that he was going to give me my car just like I brought it in, without the fuse in it. When discussing the issue with me, he never said that the technician couldn't replicate the problem, that once the fuse was installed the radio seemed to operate normally. What he should have done was advise me on what the tech did, that my radio was now functioning normally and that the problem could return at any time and give me the option to purchase a new radio or wait until the problem came up again. He just told me my radio was junk and needed to be replaced. The radio should be replaced under warranty as I had brought the car in 3 times before with similar issues but no one wanted to warranty it out then, only did they decide it needed replacement when it was at customer cost!

Desired outcome: My radio should be replaced under the original factory warranty at no cost as I had the problem basically since the car was brand new and had to be serviced 3 times under warranty for this issue.

I have owned my 2018 Chevy Sonic since new and have never let anyone else drive the car except dealer personnel during service. Since new I have always had my car serviced at licensed Chevy dealerships. My first oil change was at Advantage Chevrolet in countryside IL where I bought the car. I had an oil change done in March of 2020 while I was in Florida at Love Chevrolet in Inverness FL. The rest of my oil changes have been done at Campbell Chevrolet in Bowling Green KY. I had an issue during my last oil change at Campbell Chevy. I had just returned from a trip to Florida and by the time I arrived at home in KY, my oil life monitor was showing 2%. I called Campbell Chevy and scheduled an oil change for 9/22/21. When I took my car there, I watched the dash the whole way to make sure my oil life monitor didn't drop to zero ( 2% was bad enough ). They changed my oil but this time while waiting they tried to sell me tires and new brake pads. I had already replaced 2 of the tires and was a former mechanic so I declined the services as I would complete them myself. When leaving, not even a block away I noticed the check engine light on so I went right back to the dealer. They said it was on when it came in, but funny no one mentioned that to me when trying to sell me tires or brakes, it seems something wrong with the engine would be at the top of the list. the check engine light was NOT ON as I would have noticed because it is right next to the oil life monitor on the dash. They took the car back in and said it was a engine coolant sensor gone bad, I again declined service as this is something easily changed at home, and again told them the check engine light was not on when I arrived. I changed the sensor a few days later and hooked up my scan tool to reset the error code, but it came right back telling me there was still an issue with the temp sensor. Since I don't drive the car much I let it sit so i could research the issue. I recently had to take another trip to Florida and didn't want to take a long trip with a possibly serious problem so I asked a mechanic about the issue and he told me some of the small GM cars have 2 temp sensors, one in the block and one in the radiator, so I went home to check. Sure enough it was there but in taking pictures to figure how to go about unhooking wires and removing the sensor I noticed some cut wires. There is a loom running down the body that is clipped in place and then travels about 16 inches to the radiator sensor. It appears someone tried several times to cut the wires at the sensor connection, as they would be obscured by the radiator hose. When this failed they chose to cut the wires at the loom just below the retaining clip as to also obscure the cuts. My car only had 55,000 miles and this is in an area where nothing could fly up from the road and cause the damage and there are no moving parts that could have come loose, and the wires themselves were still secured in place and not flopping about. Its sad that a dealership will resort to creating work by damaging customer vehicles all because they choose not to have additional services performed when getting routine maintenance work.

General Motors Being charged for a service that did not work in my vehicle

I took my car to Brown Daub Nazareth Pa. My hands free calling wasn't working.They couldn't find anything wrong and charged me 214.26. I left the lot and tried to call my friend and nothing but static on I thank you for listeningher end. when someone calls me its clear. I can't call out. My son hooked up 3 different Iphones and they all did the same thing.I just don't feel I should have been charged when it wasn't fixed.I believe it's in the steering wheel somewhere.

Desired outcome: I'm hoping to be refunded for something that wasn't fixed, I thank you very much..I can't afford to throw money away . thank you again for listening to my complaint

General Motors Mike Terry dealership Mexia tx

on 01/24/2022 I purchased a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 from Mike Terry dealership in Mexia tx. They did not have the truck there It showed to be in transit. We were told it would be there in 2 to three weeks, my wife questioned them about what happened if it was not there by the time the first payment was due. We were told by the sells man and the finance person that they would pay the payment until we got the truck. Here it is 03/15/2022 we don't have the truck we have had to make a payment on it doesn't look like the dealership is going to honor what they told us and make the payment. They have given us the run around through the whole purchase of this vehicle, told us many different tales as to where the truck is, we feel as if we are being lied to. Now they tell us the truck is still at the factory? My wife was contacted over a month ago by siriusXM that the radio had been turned on.

Desired outcome: I want the dealership to make the payments like they said they would until they get our truck to us. I want the dealership to quit giving us the run around and get our vehicle to us.

General Motors General Motors customer service

April 2016 we were conned by a GM dealership. They used the GM pre-owned certification to do that. We spent over a year trying to get GM to do anything about it. GM used the excuse that they have no control over dealerships. We found that to be not true. Over time and many calls, we found out GM has a company wide rule that does not allow anybody, dealerships included, to help or assist a customer with this matter. We sent letters to Mary Barra and Jeffery Taylor asking for help. Mary passed her letter to the help center. These people get all the phone calls directed to GM, and by their own admission are not allowed to help. The person Mary sent her letter to is one of many I had spoken to earlier. After going thru the steps they use to make you think they are trying to help, I was told again "we are not allowed to help". Then he added if he had any authority he certainly would have done something. Jeffery just called an outside attorney to contact me posing as a GM employee to stall us off for over six months and then admitted he had done nothing to help. We have copies of all the letters that go into much more detail. There is a lot more info we have that explains how wrong this is. You may contact me at [protected].

Desired outcome: We just want some form of respect from GM. We would like them to stop lying about dealing with a dirty dealership.
