This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Car idles extrmemly rough and feels like it is going to stall. Bogs while driving, makes a firing noise from the tailpipe. I put better gas in the car, new spark plugs and fuel injector cleaner. No help. Check engine light comes on when car is started, but also goes off just as fast. When idling, it does not stay at the same level. Very rough. Cluster for digital odometer is broken, I need to bang on the dashboard to read the mileage. The light in the center console is also out.
Vehicle just started having problems cutting each time approaching a stop. No warning indicator illuminated on dashboard. Dealer was notified of problem.
The car hesitates when starting on ice or snow. If the drive wheels start to spin, the wheels do not receive power and the car does not being to accelerate until a delay of about 1 or 2 seconds. During this time another car was coming at me and I did not know if I would get hit or not. Fortunately, I was not. It is very scary not being able to move when another car is headed in my direction.
When turning steering wheel sharply there was a popping sound at all times. Dealer replaced power steering shaft. Consumer states engine light comes on while driving, squealing noise from passengers side of engine especially on cold starts, and engine is slow to crank up-intermittent, battery was replaced, also vehicle would not start, dealer found fuel pump was inoperative and replaced fuel pump.
My car has stalled 4 differnt times w/out any warning, the 2 or 3 times I was told to put gas treatment in my tank. They thought I had water in my tank. Finally after almost hitting an 18 wheeler in the rear w/my 3 year old daughter in the car, the dealer said the fuel filter was defective, & the fuel modular regulator was shorting out.I tried to get GM to do a buy -back on my car the refused.this is only one of many repeated problems w/my Z24. I am going to file the lemon law on this car.
Vehicle stalls when A/C turned off. This happens when vehicle is in park and/or drive and vehicle is at stand still. Dealer has had three attempts to correct defect. Dealer states that they can't engineer a fix for the stall. In process of having vehicle classified a lemon under the state of Florida's "lemon law".
The consumer was in driveway trying to go firward but the vehicle wouldn't go, the consumer tried reverse, nothing happened and the vehicle completely shut down, there was no steering ability and no brakes, the vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to duplicate the problem
Ses light illuminated, stalls on start up, coming to a stop, or when slowing down to turn a corner, dealer replaced catalytic converter and strainer, however problem still exists.
While driving on three different occasions at 65 mph and without prior warning vehicle cutt off, causing loos of all power. Also, vehicle has lost a great amount of fuel, problem may be linked, causing occupants of vehicle to get sick. (ak consumer states no one knows as of yet, the first time dealer replaced battery, the second time they did nothing, the third time they replaced filter in gas line or tank.
Vehicle experienced possible engine failure which caused vehicle to shut down completely resulting in a collision with several vehicles due to stalling (Ohio traffic crash report).
Was driving vehicle when without warning vehicle experienced an oil & transmission leak. Nothing was working properly in vehicle. There were no instrument panel lights, also, transaxle was found to be faulty. Waiting to receive a new transmission from Michigan to replace original.
