That permanent fix is a diagnostic scan by dealers to look for potential battery anamolies and a software update that can detect potential issues related to changes in battery module performance before they become potential problems
.
But a plaintiff in Michigan says Bolt owners need to contend with range anxiety and diminished resale value while they wait. Call me crazy, but a temporary restriction on range feels a lot more desirable than a permanently charred engine.
In fact the system doesn't monitor oil levels at all, just the quality of the oil itself. So while the engine may be dry and on the verge of collapse, rest assured that last quart of oil is still in tip-top shape. 👍🏼
The suit says a battery replacement program would have been a more appropriate response and owners still might get that. GM plans on offering a more permanent solution in 2021 that will re-establish the car's original range. They just don't want our car catching on fire while they figure it out.
]]>Which is to say, the case is being thrown out on technicalities but not merit.
But the legal fight is not over. Complaints from owners continue to rise and there's a promising consolidated class-action coming out of Michigan. Stay tuned.
]]>The issue has been under investigation by the safety regulators since last month.
On the surface, 5-out-of-68,700 vehicles sounds like pretty good odds but the situation is too serious to take any chances. GM is asking owners to:
Obviously a 90% battery capacity is not ideal as it limits the car's range but GM emphasizes this is only a temporary solution until they can get to the root of the problem and provide a more permanent solution sometime in 2021.
]]>The investigation will determine if the nearly 78,000 vehicles are too dangerous to drive or park in an enclosed structure.
]]>The plaintiffs are seeking millions of dollars in reimbursements for costs related to replacing wheels that are prone to deforming and cracking without impact damage
because GM opted for a cast aluminum rather that a forged wheel.
TO date, GM's only response to the problem is that there are no safety related recalls for the 7th generation Corvette and keeps telling drivers to avoid bumps in the road.
]]>Over time the lack of heat protection will melt the wires, damage the fuses, and create all sorts of electrical havoc to the starter's conductors.
The class-action says owners of the 2010-present Camaro shouldn't be on the hook for this repair.
]]>So it stays closed when you need it to open, and opens when you need it to stay shut? Got it.
The problem is a combination of user error and a flawed design. What appears to be happening is that owners are inadvertently opening their frunks with the key fob when the car is parked. They then drive away and ignore the visible and audible warnings telling them the frunk is open.
One gust of wind or quick acceleration and that puppy can come flying up and block your entire view.
GM will try to address the problem with an over-the-air software update by making it harder to inadvertently open the frunk. And if you do and choose to ignore the safety warnings, the software will limit your speed to 26mph.
]]>The Corvette does have a release mechanism but it's an electric button instead of a physical latch. And an auditor found that the button stops working once the car enters "sleep" mode which is roughly 10 minutes after the engine is shut off.
The issue is being recalled because that violates federal safety standards. GM says they can fix the issue via an over-the-air software update or, if you enjoy the taste of car dealership lobby coffee, you can bring your car in and get the software installed for free.
]]>As with previous lawsuits, the plaintiffs say low-tension piston rings, oil spray from the Active Fuel Management (AFM) system, and agressive vacuuming from the engine's positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system are to blame.
Essentially a lot of oil is burning up inside the combustion chamber allowing the oil level in the crankcase to reach dangerously low levels. And because of the design of GM's oil monitoring system drivers might not be aware of the problem until much too late.
GM changed their Vortec design for the engine's 5th generation with an improved sealing ring package, a shield to deflect oil spray away from the piston skirts, baffled PCV orifices, and the reintroduction of an oil level sensor.
]]>Now a lawsuit filed in California is accusing GM of systematically denying warranty coverage to owners with cracked wheel problems, even if the prolem happens well within the standard 3-year / 36,000 mile warranty.
]]>GM previously recalled 2011-2015 trucks for the same problem but said there was no evidence to suggest the problem existed in later model years. Whoops.
]]>The automaker has sent out a notice about the (obvious) danger this creates, but affected owners will have to wait for a second notice until the recall actually begins.
Let’s hope GM is feeling “over-pressurized” to get those replacement parts ready ASAP.
]]>A class-action lawsuit says GM knew what they were doing by installing the Bosch CP4 fuel pumps.
The General Motors class-action lawsuit was filed by two plaintiffs who claim the Bosch CP4 fuel pumps were installed in the diesel trucks to save money because the pumps use less fuel by creating higher fuel pressures with less volume. However, the lawsuit alleges U.S. diesel fuel doesn't have enough lubrication to prevent the CP4 pumps from failing.
Bah, humbug!
The fuel pumps can be found in 2011-2016 diesel engine trucks, including the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500, as well as the GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD.
The lawsuit only covers owners in Texas and California, but the problem is nationwide and this case could set a precedent for wider action.
]]>The recall covers the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 / GMC Sierra 1500 and is expected to begin on December 26th. I’m glad they didn’t plan it for the 24th, the traffic can be awful with all those grandma and reindeer collisions.
]]>The 12 owners should have been notified by now informing them that dealers will reprogram the modules to the correct modes.
At least it was only in a tiny number of vehicles including the 2019 Encore, Spark, Traverse, and Trax vehicles.
]]>Any potential fires will start in the headliner. I like the cabin toasty on a cold winter day, but that’s a bit too much. GM doesn’t know when the recall will begin, so keep the heat down in the meantime.
]]>For installation of the child seat using the seat belt, there are automatic retractor assemblies equipped with retractors that lock automatically.
This should lock the seat belt when it is completely pulled out of the retractor. However, the defects can cause the retractor to not lock the seat belt when it is pulled out of the retractor.
The recalled vehicles include the 2018-2019 Cadillac CT6, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevy Volt and GMC Yukon XL vehicles.
]]>Judge Jesse Furman ruled on claims of "manifest defects," or what claims can proceed based on if the defect manifested itself to a customer. The consolidated lawsuit is a massive 1,700 pages of arguments that GM should pay any vehicle owner who owned a recalled car equipped with bad ignition switches.
If you own (or have owned) one of the affected cars, this judge says you should be able to sue GM even if problems related to the ignition switch never affected you personally.
Normally I’d say there’s no way that’ll hold up in court … but it just did.
]]>The automaker then learned the truck had been repaired under a February 2016 recall, something that caused the automaker to open a formal investigation. The GM investigator determined the truck had only been inspected and did not receive adhesive on the brake pivot pedal nut even though the recall procedures required it.
GM is re-recalling 41,000 trucks to fix the problem. Maybe they’ll read the instructions this time.
]]>All of these problems are allegedly masked by an inadequate warning system that gives owners a false sense of security as their engine rips itself apart from the inside.
Should I go on?
The issue recently cracked the top 20 defect trends on CarComplaints.com and is largely responsible for why the 2nd generation Equinox (2010-2017) ranks 75th in reliability out of 83 Chevy generations.
]]>Is anyone staffing the shoulda seen that coming department over at GM?
]]>This problem may cause your brake pedal to feel “spongy” but it’s unclear if it affects stopping distances.
]]>GM has filed a motion to dismiss the case saying the plaintiffs are blind to the fact that of 250,000 Cruze vehicles with the Enhanced Safety Package, only 40 (0.016%) needed service during the warranty period according to the lawsuit.
The decision is pending.
]]>The plaintiffs claim emissions tests show the Silverado and Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks emit levels of nitrogen oxides higher than GM advertised. The emissions are also allegedly higher than government standards.
The lawsuit says the engines are equipped with multiple devices to control emissions in specific situations, but that the engines generally produce 2.1 to 2.4x the legal limit.
That’s amateur hour next to VW’s diesel defeat devices that spewed 40x the legal limit of NOx.
]]>The problem is caused by a "passenger presence system" that wasn't calibrated to the car's seat type, causing a failure to read the difference between an adult or child in the front passenger seat.
You had one job, passenger presence system.
]]>The allegedly faulty engines cause too much oil to enter the combustion chambers, something General Motors has allegedly known about since before 2010. The plaintiffs claim defective piston rings, including both “compression” and “oil” rings, can't handle the high compression ratios of the engines.
The EcoTec’s 2.4-liter piston rings can’t maintain a good seal within the crankcase. That means more oil and more engines hitting the scrapheap.
Guess it isn’t very eco-friendly after all.
]]>In the end, the plaintiffs claim the EcoTec 2.4-liter piston rings can't maintain a sufficient seal within the crankcase. The engines also contribute to the oil consumption due to spray jets that spray oil onto the piston skirts and cylinder walls.
Although the SUVs have systems to warn drivers of low oil pressure, the lawsuit alleges the systems don't provide warnings early enough to prevent engine damage.
The lawsuit covers the 2nd generation (2010-2017) Equinox.
]]>The oscillating pump can bump into a nearby fuel line and calamity ensues.
The recalled vehicles include the 2018 Chevy Colorado, Equinox, and Malibu, as well as the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac ATS, and GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain.
]]>That weld could crack and cause a separation of the high-pressure fuel pump from the flange, allowing the pump to oscillate inside the engine compartment.
The moving pumps can damage a high-pressure fuel line which is going to create an even higher-pressure situation when you start spraying flammable gas onto hot car parts.
]]>]]>General Motors is recalling 71 model year 2018 Chevy Sonics because the seatback frames may not be strong enough to hold in a rear-end crash … The problem is a joint in the driver-side seatback frame that wasn't properly welded, making the frame too weak to hold in a crash.
GM says the cables fatigue because the driver [can sit on the] pretensioner and cable guide in a sliding motion while entering the vehicle.
Let that be a lesson to us owners to … stop sitting in our cars?
]]>Because of the defective design, dealers allegedly can't effectively repair the systems and any damaged sensors are installed in the same problematic locations. The plaintiffs in the case said replacement sensors were on back-order when they brought their car in for service.
According to the lawsuit, GM sold more than 1 million model year 2013-2018 Cruze cars in the U.S. and about 25 percent had the optional side blind zone alert systems.
The upgraded system cost about $790 for the 2013 model year. The lawsuit is for all 2013-2018 Cruze owners that:
GM says liquid can enter the switch and corrode it, leading to high electrical resistance. The resistance can cause the switch to overheat, smoke, melt and cause a fire, although the automaker isn't exactly sure what is causing the corrosion.
Spill a coffee, get a fire. That’s a really bad day.
]]>GM opened an investigation into which Equinox SUVs had the bad windows and believes 13 panes of glass are faulty, but the only way to replace the 13 is to replace both front door windows in 379 SUVs.
The other 366 owners are in for a wasted day.
]]>GM opened an investigation into which Equinox SUVs had the bad windows and believes 13 panes of glass are faulty, but the only way to replace the 13 is to replace both front door windows in 379 SUVs.
Thankfully it’s only 400 vehicles, but that’s a wasted day for 379 of you.
]]>The lawsuit says there are at least two defective parts of the air conditioning system, the first being the line leading from the compressor to the condenser. This line consists primarily of an aluminum tube connected to a rubber hose, but the plaintiffs claim the tube can disconnect from the rubber hose and allow the refrigerant to leak.
Additionally, the aluminum tube is allegedly defective because it can rupture and allow the leak to occur.
GM informed technicians in an October 2014 Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) to replace damaged HVAC lines with a new design and to install brackets to hold those lines in place. The repairs were covered by GM’s warranty.
That same month one of the plaintiffs purchased his 2015 GMC Sierra. Because there wasn’t a recall, dealers were allowed to sell the truck without fixing the A/C.
By the time the A/C failed a couple years later, the plaintiff’s truck was out of warranty and the repairs cost over $1000 dollars.
]]>The $6.28 million will be paid to about 33,000 GM owners in Arizona, as long as they purchased the vehicles between July 2009 and July 2014 and didn't get rid of the vehicles before the ignition switch recalls were announced in 2014..
As with any settlement, there are plenty of stipulations which you can read about here.
]]>General Motors allegedly tells consumers the damage is merely cosmetic, but the plaintiffs claim in addition to safety hazards, the damaged dashboards and instrument panels cause a loss of value of the vehicles.
GM wasn't going to issue a service campaign or recall, and the feds won't investigate issues they don't consider to be a safety defect. With so many of these vehicles having this problem, owners had no other choice but to file a lawsuit.
https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/gm-cracked-dash-lawsuit.shtml
]]>According to the lawsuit, the Vortec 5300 engines in the vehicles consume extreme levels of oil because of defects in the oil rings that allow oil to invade the combustion chambers … The plaintiffs claim the oil pressure warnings can fail to activate in time to prevent engine damage, something GM has allegedly known is a problem with the Vortec engines.
The judge had previously dismissed the lawsuit and doesn't seem too interested in complaints about fires, oil rings, or inadequate warnings.
The plaintiffs have a small, uphill chance if they can amend their complaints.
]]>General Motors is recalling 113 model year 2017 Chevrolet Malibu cars because the right-hand rear side airbag inflator manifolds may have bad welds.
There isn't much more detail available at this time, but you can call GM at 800-222-1020 and ask about recall number 16146.
]]>In July 2017, an assembly plant discovered a separated front right intermediate driveshaft assembly during manufacturing of a 2018 Terrain SUV. It was confirmed the driveshaft had passed the supplier’s ultrasonic scans that looks for cracks, but then three additional fractured shafts were found at the assembly plant.
Maybe they need supersonic scans next time.
]]>However, a federal judge has ruled there isn't enough evidence to support the claims.
Even though GM has made multiple (failed) attempts to fix the issue. Or that GM completely redesigned the Generation V Vortec engine to remove all the fail points of Generation IV. Or that GM engines are blowing themselves apart from lack of lubrication.
Other than than that, there's nothing to support the claims. You can read more about the judge's decision here.
The plaintiff will be allowed to amend and re-file their lawsuit.
]]>[Mike] Hollingsworth said the shaking began within weeks of purchasing the truck. Because he bought it new, Hollingsworth said he didn't take it for a test drive ... That was the biggest mistake I made," he said.
Like many owners, Mr. Hollingsworth is being told by Chevy technicians that the shaking is within what's considered an acceptable range. GM needs to adjust its scale.
]]>This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that GM can't hide behind its "old GM vs new GM" defense. The company's bankruptcy does not mean it can shed the hundreds of lawsuits its facing.
]]>General Motors says the problem is due to "inconsistent welds between a seat-back bracket reclining mechanism and the seat-back frame." Chevy will inspect and replace any bad seat-back frames, hopefully with one that has more consistent welds.
]]>Owners can call 800-222-1020 and use recall number 17017 to see if their SUVs were involved.
]]>That's a recipe for disaster, but the cherry on top is the somewhat useless oil monitoring system. Instead of measuring the volume of oil left in the crankcase, the system measures environmetal variables to determine the quality of the oil.
Sure, there's only a pint of oil left in the engine but don't worry ... the oil quality is great.
The lawsuit mentions GM has tried to improve the situation by updating the vehicle's crankcase ventilation and active fuel management system, but it never really helped. Eventually GM just updated the Generation IV Vortec 5300 engine and replaced it with a redesigned Generation V Vortec 5300 that stopped using low-tension oil rings and reintriduced an oil level sensor.
]]>A new lawsuit wants GM to pony up more cash for the decreased resale value of the 2016 Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia.
"The GM lawsuit says consumers who purchased those SUVs believed the vehicles were EPA-rated at 17 miles per gallon in city driving and 24 miles per gallon on the highway, resulting in a combined rating of 19 mpg. However, the plaintiffs say the Traverse, Enclave and Acadia are in fact rated at 15 mpg in city driving and 22 mpg on the highway, resulting in a combined rating of 17 mpg."
Listen, I get it – GM advertised one thing and produced another. That's no good. But if someone is looking to buy a large used SUV, then I'm not convinced that 2 MPGs are a deal breaker.
]]>It's likely the 18 owners of the 2016 vehicles have already been contacted, but just in case you can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020 and use recall number 16079.
]]>"[GM's] petition says the inflator in a GM vehicle is different than what is found in cars from other automakers, primarily because of how the inflator is packed in the instrument panel to protect the ammonium nitrate from moisture.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has two words for GM – and unfortunately not the ones you're probably thinking – prove it.
If the automaker can prove by August 31, 2017 that their passenger-side inflators are safe, they won't be required to issue a recall for 2.5 million vehicles.
]]>The 2016-2017 Chevrolet Express and 2016 GMC Savana were manufactured without inside rear-view mirrors and with right-hand convex exterior rear-view mirrors. That's a problem because federal safety regulations say the vans are required to have either inside rear-view mirrors or both left- and right-hand flat exterior rear-view mirrors.
The recall only affects 40 vans, but still the GM design team should take a long, hard look in the ... well, you know.
]]>“GM opened an investigation into the issue in June and contacted Delphi, the supplier of the sensing and diagnostic module. The automaker gathered additional electronic data recorder records from other incidents where the same crash symptoms occurred.”
After three days of road tests in September 2016, GM ordered the recall. The affected GMC vehicles include the Sierra lineup as well as the Yukon.
]]>[The recalled] Chevrolet SS cars were built May 14, 2013, through April 27, 2016.
GM doesn't know when the recall will begin. When it does cables that need to get replaced will get swapped out, and those that look ok will get some new guides to prevent any future problems.
]]>"The first trouble reports came from Canada in December 2015 when SUV owners were complaining about failing windshield wipers during the winter. Dealers said the reported failures involved the windshield wiper’s ball joints coming loose from corrosion and separating while the wipers were activated."
No recall date has been set and GM isn't exactly sure what they're going to do yet. All they know is the 2013 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain need to be repaired.
]]>GM is recalling some 2016 models because the MSD switch can come loose and cut power to your car while driving. The automaker points out it doesn't affect low-voltage functions like airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, which is good when you suddenly find yourself stopped in the middle of the road.
The affected Malibus were built between 10/27/2015 and 06/03/2016.
]]>The 2016 Chevy Cruze cars are required to have headlight assemblies marked with a three-digit identifier code used to properly aim the headlights. The cars violate federal safety standards without the codes clearly marked on the assemblies.
To be clear, the headlights left the factory properly aimed. However any future service to the headlight assembly could knock them out of place. At that point, the only way you'll be able to tell if you're blinding oncoming traffic is if every other car starts flashing their high beams at you.
The recalled 2016 Cruze cars were built November 5, 2015, to May 26, 2016.
]]>"Attorneys say the plaintiffs tested the Cruze using a "Portable Emissions Measurement System" and found the cars don't meet emissions standards. The lawsuit says the standard is 70 mg/mile, but according to testing, the Cruze diesel cars averaged 174 mg/mile with a high of 557 mg/mile."
Beyond the environmental impact, the lawsuit focuses on how consumers have been fooled into paying a premium for an illegal product. The plaintiff wants GM to offer a buyback program and provide reimbursements, similar to VW's recent settlement.
]]>At first, GM thought it had that covered:
"engineers used a special tape on the wires of the module under the passenger seat to protect the wires from rubbing against anything. The tape process was put into production in February 2010 but six years later owners of Impala cars built before 2010 were still complaining about problems."
Ohhh, a special tape? Maybe next time just stick (get it?) with good ole- duct tape. Long story short, the wires are chafing insde the "special tape".
Chafed wires → short circuit → blown fuses → bye-bye airbags.
The recalled Chevy Impalas were built from April 25, 2008 to February 16, 2010.
]]>Now GM wants to make up the difference.
While exact amounts are unknown, owners should soon expect to receive compensation ranging from prepaid debit cards to extended warranties.
]]>Chevy and GMC dealers were told in previous technical service bulletins to install updated engine control module calibration and perform an oil consumption test. This time dealers are told to diagnose the problem and replace the pistons.
GM says repairs will be made for free (based on warranty coverage) and that the warranty will be extended to 7.5 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first.
]]>The fix? Well, you can replace the sensor for about $700 or you can follow this new lawsuit which thinks GM should be footing the bill:
]]>"The Camaro airbag lawsuit alleges that beginning in 2010, GM issued airbag system technical service bulletins to dealerships, but didn't recall the cars. According to the plaintiffs, GM concealed the alleged airbag defects to keep consumers buying the cars, something the plaintiffs would not have done if they would have known about the airbag problems."
GM blames the problem on a bad weld near the control arm bushing, a problem the automaker discovered on a GMC Yukon XL Denali. The faulty weld can cause the control arm to change shape and eventually separate.
Once again, there is a stop-driving order for owners of the 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. If you own one of these vehicles you need to make a service appointment right away.
While you're on the phone, ask them about getting a tow for repairs and how to get a loaner vehicle in the meantime.
GM said they'll send out a "please stop driving" notice in May 2016, and then a second notice when the recall actually begins.
]]>(The) cable can break over time due to a driver repeatedly getting into the seat, causing the cable to bend and eventually separate. GM says it discovered the seat belt problem by looking at warranty data, but no accidents or injuries have been reported.
More than 1 million Chevy and GMC trucks will need to be repaired.
]]>Takata reported two instances of stud weld fractures of the inflator modules during routine testing. However, the inflators weren't produced by Takata.
Another airbag supplier welded the studs --- poorly, I might add --- before shipping them to Takata. A fractured weld means the airbag will probably deploy out of position in a crash.
That stinks, but it's better than other Takata airbag problems.
]]>After paying $76,000 for the sports car, the plaintiff says he began experiencing problems with the Corvette including failure to start, loud rattling sounds, stalling, problems with the GPS navigation system and problems with the electrical system.
In the first year of ownership, the plaintiff says there were six warranty repairs requiring 50 days in the shop. He wants GM to buy the car back, but they want nothing to do with that bucket o' problems.
It's up to a judge now.
Have you had a similar, repair-filled experience?
]]>The petitioner cites a Tahoe crash in Texas that involved 4 adults and 4 children. After the Tahoe rolled on to its passenger side, the side-curtain airbags deployed but:
The petition says there's a design defect in the roof that causes the window to break, and puts passengers in the 2nd and 3rd rows at risk of being ejected.
Could millions of vehicles be affected like the petition says? NHTSA thinks it's probably closer to 58,000.
That's not even a "you say potat-o, I say po-tah-to" situation. That's more of a "you say potat-o, I say hamburger."
In any case, NHTSA will review the information before deciding on whether to launch a formal investigation. Preliminary reports only show one similar complaint for the 2007-2015 model years, so it's not looking good.
]]>"At highway speeds the steering sticks, making it scary to drive and dangerous” the owner of a 2013 Cruze wrote to the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
So you might be ok driving through Kansas, but once you reach Colorado you're screwed.
GM says the occurrence rate of this problem is too low to worry about -- roughly 2 incidents per 1000 vehicles. Stinks to be those 2, huh?
Dealers were sent a technical service bulletin (TSB) on how to fix the issue, but they were also told by GM to only apply the fix if the customer complains enough. That's the same approach GM used in previous years ... how'd that work out for everyone?
Federal regulators don't see any reason to open an investigation.
Quick show of the hands -- who thinks any of those regulators own one of the affected vehicles, including the 2013-14 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze or Chevrolet Malibu?
That's what I thought.
]]>The driver's knee can bump into the key fob causing it to inadvertently move the ignition out of the 'run' positon. Once that happens you're like Popeye without spinach -- just a bunch of flabby muscles you can't use.
GM insists this is not the same issue that affected the Cobalt and millions of other vehicles. That's because the Camaro's ignition switch met all engineering specifications at the time. You say potato, I say whatever ... the end result is the same.
What isn't the same, however, is how GM handled the problem after they discovered it through internal testing. They cross-referenced NHTSA data for consumer complaints potentially related to the issue, found 3 crashes and 4 minor injuries that matched up, and then decided to issue a recall. This whole "pro-active" thing is out of character for GM, but I like it.
The recalled cars will get new keys where the ignition key and fob are independent of each other. This covers all 2010-2014 Camaros, but there is no word on when the recall will start. In the mean time, owners with questions can contact Chevrolet at 800-222-1020. In the other meantime, you can do whatever one does with mean time.
]]>The worst occurrence was when the car went from 40mph-to-zilch an an instant, making this owner look more like a Hollywood stunt driver than a daily commuter.
Right before stopping, the car allegedly sounded three or four beeps from the forward collision avoidance system. NHTSA said they will also look at the 2013 Cadillac ATS as well because it uses the same driver assistance system -- a system that apparently isn't a fan of Newton's first law of motion.
Interestingly, NHTSA decided to open this investigation after a single complaint. Perhaps that's because they recently took heat for ignorning issues about GM's faulty ignitions and defective power steering problems.
It's still early; if the investigation advances or leads to a recall, we'll let you know about it.
]]>
