When making a turn where there is a puddle of water, the engine dies, and I lose control of the power steering for serval seconds, it seems to mostly happen when making a right turn through water. I'm not talking about a lot of water. The dealer maintenance dept. The last time I spoke to them, and for the first time in 8 years, of complaining of this problem, the service manager said it is because the engine is mounted sideways, and when the water hits the fan belts it causes it to slip, which makes it seem like the engine has died. On 10/20/2018 I have reached out to general motors and got no place, they said that the dealership suggest that I bring it in for them to diagnose the problem, and for which I would have to pay for that, and any repairs that is needed, because it is out of warrantee. This is totally unfair, for I have had this problem for over 8 years, 6 of which were under warrantee. This is so wrong with the dealership and general motors handling of this issue that I felt it should be broth to the attention of your dept. To look into it, and get them to do a recall if it is possible. On your web site under vehicle complaints there are other people who have complained about this very same problem. So I am not the only one, it is the car.

Bought car 6/2/08 with 6000 miles on odometer. Immediately noticed extreme vibration throughout vehicle while driving also in park at 1500 rpms. Dealer in consort with gm attempted to fix; could not do it. Dealer alleges "vehicle working as designed". Apparently designed to vibrate. My concern is that the problem is in the engine - not in suspension or tires, etc. With vibration comes inordinate wear and possible failure while driving possibly causing an accident with injuries. Additionally, the front safety belts are defective in that they do not lock up and restrain the upper torso as designed. Dealer has replaced both belts; however, they still do not work as designed and required posing a clear and present danger to the driver and passenger in the front seats. There has not been an incident as yet; however, the possibility of one is rather obvious and gm thus far has been unable to resolve the issue safely and satisfactorily.
