1) seatbelt light comes on despite having seatbelts secured. It happens when you start the car and stays on throughout all aspects of driving until the car is turned off. 2) service stabilitrac light intermittently flickers on and off while the radio flickers off and on, as though the vehicle were possessed. 3) the previous engine consumed excessive amounts of oil. It resulted in the previous engine being replaced a few months ago. New engine is burning oil just as fast as the old one. Withing one month the dipstick was registering as below the bottom line with 2 months and approximately 3K miles left before next scheduled oil change, per jiffy lube's sticker.

I took my vehicle to the dealer because the check engine light came on, they had to replace the catalytic converter (by special coverage adjustment 15810), however the technician indicated that I had a cracked exhaust manifold... which was not covered by the special coverage. It is crazy that an exhaust manifold fails! it seems to be a defective part and the technician said it may have been caused by the extra pressure due to the clogged catalytic converter. GM refused to reinburse this service.

Engine type consumes excess oil. This has caused my oil to run out on multiple occasions and my vehicle to shut off while I'm driving, specifically when decelerating the rpms will drop to cause engine to fail. Driving with no oil will cause the engine to blow up one day or another.
