| Equipment problems |
While driving the car it cuts off while in the drive gear. This happenened 4 times, twice while driving on the beltway all within a 3 week period. I hav e to put the car in park and wait about 2 minutes then start it up again. I was scared to drive the car after the second time stopping on the beltway, so I had the car towed to the shop. This was very dangerous and stressful not knowing when the car would stop at any given time. The dealer had to replace the computer in the car at a cost on $690. 00, from me. I think this is unacceptable and that I should be compensated for this amount. If this model needs to be recalled then it should be before someone gets hurt or killed. I will be writing the better business bureau also to file a complaint. I get my maintenance on this vehicle on a regular basis. I'm glad that I was not seriously hurt when this car stopped on the beltway. My car was repaired on July 16,2016, at anderson of hunt valley, 10125 york road, cockeysville MD 21030. Phone # 410-403-1300. They did a great job in replacing the computer, now I need to be compensated for my $690. 00. Thanking you in advance for your time and cooperation. Sincerely mrs pinder.
There is not a dealership that is able to fix the recall on my vehicle that is near me. Gm recall #: 15037 NHTSA # 15v519 date issued: Jan 06, 2015 recall title: recall 15037 - headlamp driver module recall status: incomplete.
I was trying to shut down my car and even though my car was in park, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. When I was finally able to, after a few times, the battery light stayed on. It took multiple attempts until I could finally shut off my car with the car battery not being drained. Additionally, and I don't know when this started, both of the back doors no longer will open from the inside and the SUV back won't open from the outside. The ac blowers will blow cold intermittently. There is plenty of coolant. No dealer will look at it because there are no SAAB dealers.
Was driving down side street, reached for something in passenger seat, drew my hand back making very gentle contact with ignition key in center console and car shut off. I hardly touched the key. This second time in early June, though I hit it with my cup (ice tea from mcdonalds). Then this weekend it happened again. It is very easy to bump it with your arm and have it shut off. I called GMC and they informed me that they wouldn't fix it, even though to me it seems like the same issue as with their other cars that are being recalled for the same reason. I think it should be recalled, and suspect that the ignition is the same that is in the GMC envoy, trailblazer, etc. Also, the 2007 was recalled, and I think the 2008 should be as well. My car is available for someone to inspect it anytime if you would like to see how easy it is for it to happen.
