8 reportsSunroof exploded while I was driving. Had I not had the shade closed I could have been injured by shattered glass. Glass has been replaced at the dealer of purchase, via insurance claim with my agent. There was no indication that this would occur.
GM already has extended the warrant for faulty AC Condensers model years 2015-2017. This model 2018 experiences the same exact condenser leak as the 2015-2017 models. In fact special coverage adjustment 17336 which omits the 2018 model has the same failure. This warranty should be extended into 2018 as well.
Despite Wheelers fixing the vehicle’s recall, it still pulls one way and never improved.
Air conditioning intermittently working, but mostly not at all right to be a leak involved. Still need it fixed to know more.
Keeps showing a service trailer brake system, it does it once in a while but when it does it keeps showing the message after pressing dismiss, I was researching online and apparently there is a lot of people dealing with this same issue and looks like it is a defect from factory.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT COOL THE AIR.
WHEN RUNNING FROM TIME TO TIME, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE ABS LIGHT MOMENTARILY APPEARS AND DISAPPEARS, AND THE AGENT WAS DETECTED, BUT THE DEFECT WAS NOT DISCOVERED, AND IN THE DETECTION OF MY FRIEND'S DEVICE, CODE C0800 APPEARED, BUT THE AGENT REFUSED TO LOOK FOR THE DEFECT IN THE CODE WHEN I EXPLAINED IT…
