I have multiple complaints, the gas gauge on my vehicle stop working and I ran out of gas in the middle of the street when I realized problem 2 the rear brake lights and hazard lights do not work. The other problem is the vehicle stalls, and when it finally take off, the car jerks and the driver seat moves/slides back from the hinges which caused me to not be able to reach my breaks and run into a curb. Also the driver side door sticks and is difficult to open. Lastly the wheel baring and ball joints have gone bad twice and the car has less then 75000 miles on it. I called GM customer service department and explained all of my concerns and was told they we not aware of any nationwide problem and there was nothing they could do except fix the hazard light malfunction. I researched on the net and found many many people complaining of the same concerns I have.

While driving 30 mph vehicle stalled. The consumer managed to pull over. Had taken vehicle to dealership, but problem had not been resolved. Last spring the vehicle's ignition would cut out while in motion and would sometime drop out of the cruise control. The vehicle stalled in reverse, the engine wiring was replaced, the cruise control would shut off at times, the ignition swtch shorted out. Another address for the consumer is: 2829, rue sans famille, zip-27607.
