The rpms jump around and the a/c makes noise and lights flicker at times. The car will just stall in the middle of an intersection or when I'm turning onto another road. It's quite scary with children in the car. My main concern is a large SUV put it in reverse and hit the front of my car before ending up on the hood near the windshield. She was going pretty fast and pushed my car pretty far but no airbag! then on a separate occasion I was doing 55 miles when a large animal darted out in front of me. My front end and radiator and front end were shot. Even split my passenger side dash open and had to be towed off but no airbags!! exactly how do I have to be going for me to have protection????.
Still having ign. Key problems not turning and can not remove, an electronic steering system light come on when starting and hard to steer. Both problems are intermittent and dealer can't repair unless they see it.

The vehicle stalled and slowed but engine did not stop approaching an intersection on a town road. Days later it stalled again on a town road. The check engine light came on and another light flashed. In both cases stopping the engine and turning it back on remedied the issue and cleared the lights. While in motion on a country highway the passenger airbag light began flashing from on and off although there was only my pocketbook in the passenger seat. Removing the bag did not solve the issue. Stopping and turning off the ignition cleared the problem. The car lost power again on an interstate highway. I managed to get to the shoulder turned off the engine and the problem solved. The car began chiming instead of ticking when the left turn signal was on when the vehicle was exiting from a highway. The seat belt light came on at that time as well. The airbag light has remained on for several days now. This last occurrence was yesterday August 8, 2017. I am afraid that the car may stall while in a dangerous situation.

I received a strained muscle in my hand that my doctor diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve damages). My car have done this several times. I shouldn't have t I die nor my son or have a life permanent injury that would hinder me from enjoying my life. Gm told congress that they would do the right thing by its victims regardless the nature of injury. I have to suffer with this agonizing pain and swelling with the aid of medication.

The steering column assembly (including key switch, turn signal, wiper control, etc. ) was loose upon getting the vehicle back from the repairs for the key switch recall. This was not like this prior to the recall repairs and represents sloppy workmanship by dealership employees repairing the vehicle or poor design that won't stay tight. By this being loose, there could be damage to the wires or the wires could come unplugged inside the steering column. This would include air bag wires, key switch wires, etc. There would also be a possibility of fire if this problem isn't corrected as the wires could short out. I believe all the vehicles that have been repaired should be recalled again to check for this problem and repair them if it is found that it is loose.
