GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS FAR BACK AS 2002 . DO THEY CARE ABOUT THE IMPACT ? I AM THE 3RD OWNER ,BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY RATING AND THAT IT HAS LESS THAN 92000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 5 YEARS.”

“I CAN START MY VEHICLE AND THE GAUGES STARTED STICKING. I AM CONSTANTLY BEING SHOCKED BY THE DRIVER DOOR. MY GAUGES NO LONGER WORK AT ALL AND HAVE COMPLETELY WENT HAYWIRE. I HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, HOW FAST I AM GOING. MY CRUISE CONTROL EITHER AT TIMES INCREASES MY SPEED OR DOES NOT HOLD THE SPEED. I HAVE TO USE A GPS DEVICE TO KNOW APPROXIMATE SPEED. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS TONS OF ISSUES. *TR”

“INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED GOING BAD IN 2006 AND EVERY YEAR ANOTHER GAUGE IS FAULTY - FIRST IT WAS THE GAS GAUGE, NEXT THE OIL, ETC AND 4 YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $800 TO FIX IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AT THE TIME AND THIS IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT FOR YEARS AND EVEN CALLED GM - NO HELP AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THIS. I WOULD APPRECIATE HELP WITH THIS AND FEEL THAT GM HAS KNOWN THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. I DRIVE A LOT OF KIDS IN MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. *JS”

“WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SMOKE. THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE SO I STOPPED THE CAR SHUT IT OFF, POPPED THE HOOD, AND IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I GRABBED MY 2 CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 9-1-1 THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS! *TR”
