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 was driving down the road about 20 mph and the drivers window went down by itself and wouldn't go back up, sometimes when you try to start vehicle nothing happens and then a few seconds later it starts on its own, when it rains all the speakers quit working except the front tweeter speakers, sometimes when I shut the drivers door kind of hard it wont start and U cant lock doors with keyless entry, fuel gauge quit working after I filled up with gas.
Fuel gauge showed I was empty after filling up the car. The gauge now reads erratically and does not show the proper amount of fuel in the tank. My wife is the primary driver of this car and I fear that she will run out of gas due to the "failure" of the gauge. We are doing our best to drive by mileage but our mpg varies quite a bit depending on our driving situation. Just received a letter from GM advising they will pay 50% of repair costs. However, I feel that this safety related item failure should be covered entirely by GM via a recall. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
