DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECT IN THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE DEALERSHIP MADE THE REPAIRS ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL MOTORS BULLETIN.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MADE A RATTLING NOISE AND SHOOK WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON BUMPY ROAD CONDITIONS. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT MADE A SQUEAKING NOISE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS UNDETERMINED.
