Vehicle power windows, seats, seat heat stopped working. Windows have gone up/down uncontrolled when keys are not even in the vehicle which is very dangerous. Gm says that this condition is a fire hazard and do not park in a garage, but are dragging their collective feet in fixing this problem!!!! this vehicle is unsafe to put my family into, I just want it fixed now!!!!!.
Fuel gauge does not display the correct fuel level. Fuel gauge will indicate full when tank is empty, or empty when tank is full. Has caused a check engine light on numerous occasions.
Erratic fuel gauge. At times gauge will read empty when tank is near full or will read full when fuel tank is half full.
For the past two year I have been getting intermediate false fuel readings. The gauge would read empty or close to it. One time it stated I had more gas then I really did, causing me to run out of gas on the freeway. As time went on, the issue became more frequent. It is becoming a dangerous issue.
