The front camera collision, lane departure, blind spot warning system are all part of an electronic system that warns the driver. In 2014, chevrolet located these modules in the rear bumper and did not sufficiently protect them from the weather elements, so water gets into them and can cause a fire, and failures from losing your dash gauges to the vehicle not starting. Chevy was nice enough to issue a service action, but limited to a 6 month time frame for repairs. They issued n172097060, which was available from april 2019 to january 2020. This was nice if it failed during that time. Mine failed for the first time in october 2017, which was repaired under warranty, and again in april of 2020, which was just out of the warranty period. Chevy said they would not cover this safety issue again because I was out of the n172097060 recall due to time, not mileage. I believe that this should be covered for a longer period of time because it is a safety issue.I was reading that there was a letter sent, but I never received it. I would have brought the car to the dealer the next day, knowing about the problemm.

I started noticing a very bad odor of mold and mildew coming from the A/C vents. I took the car into the dealer I purchased in early 2014. The dealer said they looked at it and could not find anything wrong. After I took it in again for a bad odor, they said there was a recall on the rear tail lights letting water in the trunk. A couple months later I checked the trunk and the carpet was all wet, when I checked the spare tire compartment it was 2 inches of water. I started checking everywhere and found the carpet in the front driver seat very wet. I took the car in again this time I knew it was going to be a big problem to fix, the car was now smelling so bad with mildew and mold even the service technician could hardly stand to sit in it at all. They have tried to change the underlay, and it still smells bad. The dealer says they had a gm service specialist come to the dealer to look at it. They have no solution to fix the water leaking or to get the mold out of the car. It has now been 6 weeks and I do not have my car!! I asked the dealer to please let me out of my lease so I can go get a car that actually I can use. The dealer is refusing to offer any assistance, and either is gm when I call customer support. I am now hiring an attorney and planning on taking this to the dealer and gm, as this is an major health concern at the very least to my family.

Battery leaked down the frame and was eating the 2 trany cooler aluminum lines. Autonation chevrolet superstition springs in mesa, az put a new battery and 2 new trany cooler lines on, but after the 4th attempt can not get all of the acid cleaned up. Engine cradle still has no paint in spots and acid still showing on spots. After a day of rain. Went out to the car the next day and when I opened up the drivers door there was a very bad odor. Almost wanted to throw up. After looking all over the car found 2" of water were the spare tire is and all of the carpet wet in the trunk. Took it to autonation chevrolet superstition springs in mesa, az. They had it for 2 weeks and they determined I did not have the trunk closed all the way. This trunk will not stay down. What I mean is the spring is so good it's ether closed all the way or open all the way. After that and some research I found gm has put out a #pi1133 trunk water leak. The seal around the rear tail light leaks water into the trunk. So I took it back to the dealer and had to tell them it was not me leaving the trunk opened.
