In owners' own words
The contact owns a gm aftermarket air deflector (part number: 1927884) being used on a 2012 GMC acadia. The contact was driving 70 mph when the center plastic tie fractured and caused the deflector to crash into the windshield of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The deflector was not replaced. The serial number and vin was not available. The failure mileage was unavailable. Equipment
I was driving my 2007 chevy equinox, and I lost my steering. I had to fix the problem, I could not drive the vehicle. I had the same problem as the chevy cobalt is having now. I contacted gm for some assistance, and they did nothing. I want you to know that the chevy cobalt might not be the only vehicle that has this problem. Luckily for me, I did not have a accident, or any other issues listed below. Equipment
Day of purchase, major engine failures replacement of nearly everything then some. Continues to arc electrical sparks under the hood. Electrical shorting of all components within the van internal engine issues not correctable just bandaiding fuel issues with oil coolant and arcing constitutes a fire and possibly death. I have all serviced repair documents if one should need to view them. Equipment
Verbatim from NHTSA filings. Complaints are unverified owner reports.
