Electronic stability control ESC light comes on and says service then ESC off. This is a safety issue with these cars. Seat belts fail. Safety issue. And our will not start because the anti theft system is activated for no reason. All of these are consistent with several other complaints. Gm should be ashamed for selling vehicles that fail. Approximately 78,000 miles. Hopefully they will step up and correct these problems!!

The seat belt keeps dinging like the seatbelt is not connected to the seatbelt latch and it is. The engine light comes on and off. I have taken it to the dealership the light goes off so they can never figure out what's wrong with it. Except once which it came back to it being the solenoid sensor. They fixed it. But, engine light still comes on. The seatbelt dings doing the whole ride or if your siting still. The engine light comes on off and on. Just bought the car 9/23/2017.
