The airbag light has came on and the passenger seat will not show someone is sitting in it for the passenger airbags. The light first came on in february but went off a few days later it then came back on in march and will not shut off. The dealership will not fix it because there is no recall on it. If a crash happens my airbags will not work. Also I have had my engine for my windshield wipers replaced three times 600 dollars later my wipers do not work. They keep telling me it keeps snapping I can't keep spending money onthis. Also my gears do not shift properly even though the transmission checked out good. There is a recall for this but the dealership refused to fix it stating the part was not received yet. I haven't received any recalls by mail even though there are plenty of them. This whole car needs recalled.

I was driving on an expressway in michigan, during a thunderstorm, and my windshield wipers stopped working. I was able to exit the freeway but had zero visibility. I later took the vehicle to a dealer who replaced the windshield wiper motor under factory warranty. This happened again two years later and I will be filing a separate incident report (in addition to others. This is a crap car).

I was driving on the expressway during a snow storm and my wipers stopped working. This was the second time it happened. The driving conditions were terrible and visibility was already poor due to the snow. It was after dark and snowing. I had to exit the expressway and park on a surface street miles from my destination. It was a miracle I didn't get into an accident. I took it to my dealer who replaced the windshield wiper under factory warranty (for a second time).

My brake lights keep lighting up as I am driving down the road. When I press the brake pedal the brake lights go out. This is a safety concern that should be addressed by the manufacturer. On cold days my windshield wipers will just quit working. I have had this into the gm shop two times and they say there is nothing wrong with the windshield wipers.
