DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING IN THE RAIN. IT WAS FOUND TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE WIPER TRANSMISSION. THE END CAME OFF THE BASE OF THE WIPER ARM SPINDLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. A RECALL IS IN ORDER DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS PART SHOULD NEVER FAIL LET ALONE ON A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD 4 YEARS YET.

MANY RECALLS ON VEHICLE, OVER 5. ENGINE ISSUES.. CAR DOES NOT RUN WELL... I'VE TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTHS..

WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR, MY MESSAGE CENTER WAS IN GERMAN INSTEAD OF ENGLISH. I DID NOTHING TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE. THE NEXT TIME I TURNED ON MY CAR, IT WAS BACK TO ENGLISH. *TR

I USE THIS SITE TO CHECK FOR OPEN RECALLS FOR MY JOB. I AM WONDERING WHY IT IS SO OUTDATED??? I CAN SEE A FEW WEEKS, BUT A RECALL THAT WAS "POSTED" IN NOVEBER 2014 SHOULD BE ON THIS WEB SITE BY NOW. WHY THE OUTDATED INFORMATION??? *TR

THE CARS STABILITY TRACK INDICATOR, ANTI-THEFT AND SEVERAL OTHER DASH LIGHTS INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT START OR ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FORTUNATELY NOT WHEN I AM DRIVING HOWEVER MANY TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL RESET AND THE CARS POWER SEEMS TO LUG DOWN AND FEELS LIKE IT IS DRAGGING OR BRAKING. REMOVING BATTERY AND REPLACING HELPED IT ONCE. I ALSO NOTICE THE REAR LIGHTS WILL STAY WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK UNLESS I START THE CAR MOVE IT 2 OR 3' AND PUT IT BACK INTO PARK AGAIN. *TR

A SQUEAK HAS DEVELOPED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ALTHOUGH GM HAS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ISSUE ANY RECALLS. THERE ARE TSO'S ON THIS SINCE OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT THEY DO NOTHING. NO CAR WITH 23,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE BAD BUSHINGS OR OTHER PROBLEMS WITH STEERING UNLESS THERE ARE DEFECTS. *TR
