I was driving in town and suddenly lost all power. I had to use the momentum of the car to move over 2 lanes of traffic in order to get pulled to the side of the road. Had it towed to the mechanic and found out that both the fuel pump and the electrical panel under my fuse box had gone out. This cost me over $1800. 00 to have fixed and the mechanic states gm was aware of the fuse box issue and to watch for a recall. Also the fuel pump was a specialty that was not placed in most cars of this year/model and had to be ordered from the factory. The problems that are happening with these cars are ridiculous. Gm should have to pay the owners to have the entire car replaced.

Parked vehicle and entered house. Roughly two minutes later the neighbor was banging on the door saying the car was on fire. The vehicle was not overheating or smoking when we left it.

It also appears to have burned into the fuel line. Without the presence of our neighbors and living two blocks from the fire department, it could have been much worse.

My speakers on the front of the car go on and off as well as my inside turn signals. Now it has progressed to the check air bag indicatior going on and off while starting and during driving.

I dont want to fork over more money than the car is worth especially since I know there are several complaints for the same problem. Why not have a recall on at least the airbag part of the problem.
