What owners say
Driver outside door handle broke. Could not open the driver's door from the inside or outside of the vehicle. Common problem. Was repaired at no charge because still under warranty. *ak
Transmission system doesn't work, dealer said the module has failed but they see as gm problem. The controls between the steering wheel and the dash are shorting out changing everything when you drive. Seat belts have been replaced. The driver and passenger door handles have both been replaced as they broke right off. Just spent $560.00 to dealer and all I got was the seat belt fixed.
Both door handles have broken, know of others with same style of handle mechanism that have failed same way, looks like defect of design, no recalls or tsb's found, broke within three weeks of one another; seatbelts are slow to retract if at all, resulted in slack getting caught in door jam, so consequently when pulled it broke and now will no longer retract; it is very frustrating and we paid good money for a good vehicle so we didn't expect this stuff to be happening.
Entire door latch assembly had to be replaced due to unknown part which made the driver's door inoperable. Please give any further details.
Side door opened while driving down the road. Tt
