THE ROADS WHERE SLIGHTLY WET AND I HIT A GUARDRAIL ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD GOING APPROX 30MPH - 35MPH. DESTROYING THE FRONT PASSENGER BUMPER, TURN SIGNAL LIGHT, TIRE, AXLE, SUSPENSION, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE GUARDRAIL OF COURSE. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED! POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN, NO FAULT OR MAJOR INJURIES, THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AND AGAIN THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! JUST MAKES ME THINK (IF I HAD WENT THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN INTO A TREE) WOULD THE AIR BAGS EVER WORK AND SAVE MY LIFE? PLEASE RECALL THIS ISSUE!! *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94 IN NORTH DAKOTA AND WE HEARD A POP. BY THE TIME WE PULLED OVER THERE WERE FLAMES UP TO THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. WE QUICKLY GOT OUT. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. DATE OF ACCIDENT WAS 10/31/2014. *TR

ENGINE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IN 2005 ($3,000 IN REPAIR...ACCORDING TO DEALER IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOT A RECALL). GAS GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER BOTH STOPPED WORKING ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. DESPITE KNOWN ISSUES, GM STILL WANTED US TO PAY HALF THE COST OF REPAIR. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPAIRED, GAS GAUGE IS STILL NOT WORKING. ALSO, THE HEATER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND WE CHANGE HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE OF SOME SHORT IN THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL. *TR

SPEED CONTROL. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED. 10 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR OVER & EVEN MORE AT TIMES. NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST CAR IS GOING. SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS UNDER. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING. NEVER KNOWING HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING. CHEVROLET ALSO REPLACED FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. REAR WIPER HAS NOT WORKED FOR YEARS. TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX. VERY UNSAFE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW. THIS VEHICLE HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS. BOUGHT NEW. VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

I AM NOT FILING A COMPLANT. I GOT MY CAR USED AND AM ONLY TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW I KNOW IF ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE WERE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE PAST? MY CAR LOCKS RANDOMLY AND ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WAS EVER A RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM? *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT.I AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING OR HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ON LINE THIS IS VERY COMMON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED. SHORTLY AFTER, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAD COME ON PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. JUST LOST ALL POWER INSTANTLY. I TURNED THE KEY, AS YOU WOULD TO START THE VEHICLE, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. VERY GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR WHILE MOVING. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF IT IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM, AS THAT WHICH PLAGUES OTHER GM PRODUCTS. ALSO, I HAVE THE RADIO ON WHILE DRIVING AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT, THE RADIO REFUSES TO STOP PLAYING (IT IS SUPPOSED TO, AND IT USED TO, CEASE OPERATING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR). I AM FORCED TO OPEN THE BACK VEHICLE DOOR TO GET IT TO STOP. I WONDER IF THIS IS A RELATED ISSUE TO THE IGNITION, AS THE IGNITION KEY MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE SHUTTING OF THE ACCESSORIES. *TR
