| Equipment problems |
My first complaint is that headlights, low beam, would not work. Only high beams worked. The issue stopped, unexplainable, on its own, has not occurred again. The 2nd complaint is the radio volume would 'slip' as if there were a loose wire to the speakers, and loss of sound became more frequent and for longer periods of time, eventually all sound stopped, it has not been fixed, as of yet. 3rd complaint, a brand new battery, in under a year of use, went completely dead, without any visible explanation. When an attempt to jump start the vehicle the cables from another cars battery were touched at my cars battery, it sparked, indicating to the person performing the task, there is a 'short' somewhere in the wiring system. I drive this vehicle less than 3000 miles per year, and use it sporadically with my second vehicle to keep the batteries active. I cannot explain why these issues are occurring but thought it important to mention them to other possible victims with the same issues.
I was driving down the road at about 50 miles per hour and my car suddenly died. . . Like when you run out of gas except everything shut down. . Luckily I was able to veer off to the side of the road and almost as quickly as it happened I gave it some gas and it jolted and came back to life. It was like my entire engine just died. It was scary. . . I think they (gm) may have more issue then they are letting out.
