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.
I am the owner of a 2002 Chevy Suburban, V8 engine. Approximately 8 months ago my car began making terrible noises. Took it to my local Chevy dealer who informed me I had broken exhaust manifold bolts. And it would cost over $1000 to repair! I did not have the money to fix it and dealer said it wouldn't hurt car to continue driving. In July of 2010, my check engine light kept coming on and took it to get repaired. I was told I needed to replace my catalytic converters. $800 later I thought they were separate problems. I come to realize that it was directly related to the bolt issue. Through my research, I have learned this is a very common problem with GM cars. Why wasn't there a recall"???" I feel duped by GM and my government.
When driving the air vent released toxic fumes. The driver and passengers became sick and dizzy. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer on six different occasions. However, the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem
