Complaint evidence
Examples provide context, not a representative sample or a verified diagnosis.
THE ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED ON MY VEHICLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE, CLOSE TO $1,000. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE PREVALENT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM WONDERING WHY THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THE EXPENSIVENESS OF THE REPAIR WILL SURELY CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SIMPLY DISENGAGE THE ABS SYSTEM WHICH CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE.*AK
CONSUMER STATED THAT THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THAT THE EBCM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *SB *NM
TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND MAKES NOISE IN THE FIRST GEAR AT INITIAL START FROM A DEAD STOP. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT ALL OF THEM DO IT. *JB
THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES ON IT. I WROTE TO GM ABOUT IT, AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT. THE FUEL PUMP ALSO WENT OUT ON THIS SAME VEHICLE AT 51,000 MILES. GM IS BUILDING VEHICLES OF VERY POOR QUALITY AND GETTING PREMIUM PRICES FOR THEIR VEHICLES. I AM TIRED OF BUYING AMERICAN BUILT VEHICLES AND GETTING JUNK.*AK
RECURRING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS SINCE BRAND NEW. (3 TO DATE). MOST RECENT FAILURES CAUSED LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED 3 SEPARATE INCIDENTS. FIRST REPORTED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, TOOK DEALERSHIP (EWING BUICK IN PLANO, TX). THEY COULD NOT RECREATE...YESTERDAY, HAPPENED AGAIN AND I COULD NOT RESTART, HAD TO GET TOWED. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. *AK
STEERING LINKAGE IDLER ARM FELL APART, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING ON VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES OF LINKAGE. HAD JUST COME FROM A LONG TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED WHEN TIS HAPPENED, BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. HAPPENED ONCE IN MISSISSIPPI AND ONCE AT HOME. REPLACED WITH IMPROVED PARTS FROM AUTO PARTS STORE. COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED. *AK
MY DAUGHTERS PONTIAC SUNFIRE RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT THE STEERING. I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED. THEY FIXED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE DEALER EXPLAINED WHAT WOULD BE HAPPENING IF IT WERE TO GO OUT. THE STEERING TO THE LEFT WOULD BE HARD TO TURN. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PONTIAC TRANS SPORT MINI VAN. HE SUGGESTED THAT I CALL GM. I DID AND THEY SAID IT WAS DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT THE RECALL WAS CALLED IN FOR, BUT BY MY VIN # MY CAR WAS NOT IN WITH THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK IT OUT WITH THE DEALER AND CALL BACK. I TO…
FIRES AT THE GAS PUMPS CAUSED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY. VEHICLES ARE CATCHING FIRE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL VEHICLE. FEWER VEHICLES DOES NOT PROPERLY GROUND WHEN FUEL NOZZLE INSERTED INTO FILL SPOUT OF VEHICLE. I HAVE PERFORMED A STUDY TO SHOW DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLDER FUEL SPOUTS WITH A GROUNDING CABLE AND NEWER SPOUTS THAT DO NOT HAVE CABLE. ALSO, THE MATERIAL OF THE SPOUTS HAVE CHANGED FROM ALL METAL TO A METAL WITH A PLASTIC INSERT. THIS WOULD PREVENT VEHICLE FROM BEING GROUNDED. IN MY STUDY, I FOUND MANY DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES …

ON 7/13/2003 THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE (UNIROYAL LAREDO P2357015) LOST IT'S TREAD GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR. ON AUGUST 10TH, 2003 THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE LOST IT'S TREAD. IN BOTH INCIDENTS THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 110 DEGREES. BOTH TIRES WERE IN THE FRONT . MILEAGE WAS 36180 & 37567.*JB

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS THE "CLUSTER" (DASHBOARD DISPLAY) HAS GONE OUT ON US. NO SPEEDOMETER, NO GAS GUAGE, NO BLINKERS, NOTHING. WE'VE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. THIS LAST TIME, 12/26/02, THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR US.
AIRBAG LIGHT IN DASH BOARD INDICATES PROBLEM WITH SYSTEM. DEALER TELLS US THAT THE "SWITCH" IN SEATBELT IS DEFECTIVE. SWITH INDICATES THAT SEATBELT IS IN USE AND PERMITS AIRBAG TO GO OFF DURING COLLISION. FAULTY SWITH MEANS AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. CAR HAS ABOUT 55,000 MILES ON IT. DEALER QUOTES $237 TO REPAIR.

OK, SO GM HAS ISSUED A PARTS BULLETIN UPDATE, SO WHAT. THE COST OF REPAIR IS NOT COMING OUT OF THEIR POCKETS. I THINK THAT MORE OF US NEED TO COMPLAIN AND MAYBE SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. *LA
LAST MARCH I RAN INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR FOR A LIGHT IN A PARKING LOT. THE IMPACT WAS CENTER OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH GMC BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT ACTIVATE NOR DID THE SEAT BELT HOLD ME. THEY CHECKED THE DATA ON COMPUTER CHIP AND MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 15MPH. LATER A RECALL WAS ISSUE ON POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG ACTIVATION. THEY SAID MY TRUCK DID NOT SHOW AN ERROR CODE TO SHOW IT MADE THE AIR BAG NOT ACTIVATE. I GOT THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF THOUGH. IS THERE ANY LEGAL RECOURSE ON THIS? I JUST WANTED MEDICAL BILLS PAID. TS

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
