Reduce engine power on dash I have received this message twice. Car goes to 60mph and it drops down dramatically to 20 mph this could case a big accident and gm needs to fix this problem immediately. This is a car I do not recommend it's been nothing but problems.
Issue 1: The rear backup camera is not viewable as the Infotainment Touch Screen will not power on. The soft-reset procedure did not work. I am unsure I can avoid hitting an individual while backing up. Issue 2: The steering wheel is very hard to turn. I am unsure if I could avoid a collision with a car or person.
The trunk of the car is filled with water that has been dripping out all day. The rear roof of the car is soaked on both sides. The car smells musty & all of the inside windows had so much condensation it was dripping.

Noticed shaking in the steering while driving. Had aligned 3 times once at a different shop. Has new tires. Tires are now cupped and will wear unevenly. Steering wheel still shakes and car feels like it's being pushed from side to side. Heater core is now bad and it's not even 3 years old. All windows fogged up including front windshield and can smell coolant when the heat is on. Windows begin to fog up driving in town and then completely fog up highway driving.

Over the past 8 months of owning this car, I've had this vehicle's windshield crack or chip on six different occasions. In the past ten years, I've had a chipped windshield twice before owning this car. This has to be a defect. Many times, I don't even see a rock hit the windshield, but hear it. After inspecting, I find that the windshield is chipped. My driving habits have not changed, nor has my route to and from work. The design of the car has to be causing the issue as the chipping and cracking is occurring way too frequently..
The drivers side rear view mirror does not adjust far enough away from the car. From my driver seat at normal driving position I cannot see a car approaching, in fact I see my back door this is a dangerous blind spot. The dealer said this is normal.
Windshield has thousands of tiny, white specs across entire field. These specs at first exam look like paint overspray. But closer exam with a flashlight at a low, skimming angle, revels imbedded particles. In late or early sunlight, this causes a foggy appearance to shaded areas, like trees or buildings. Clarity is absolutely impeded. Recently as I exited a freeway, driving westward into the 7 pm sun, I made a right turn onto my street and almost ran over the curb as the right side of the windshield became a haze totally blotting out clear vision of the corner. Had there been a person or any object in that space it would have been hit. That was a panic feeling I did not need ! the GM dealer earlier that day could not see it well because the sunlight was still high in the sky thus not causing the effect. They tried to inspect it with a pocket flashlight, but not convinced si I have to return to them early in a morning or late in the day to get the same experience I have daily. My wife bears witness to this unsafe situation. Item two: The rear view mirror is so small it is ridiculous. It is like peeping thru a crack in a fence ! and, adjusting it is a tight squeeze for my hand where the headliner comes too close to the mirror.
