What owners report
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO AVOID A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. GOT A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STABLITRACK LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY GOT P0300 CODE. HAD TO REPLACE THE PISTON AND RINGS. ONLY 70250 MILES AND GM WOULD NOT COMPLETELY COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, I HAD TO PAY $1000.
ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 22ND I WAS GOING TO A CAR MEET. ON MY WAY TO THE MEET I WAS HAVING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY CAR. THE RADIO AND MY SEATS WERE ACTING WEIRD. THE RADIO WOULD TURN UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF AND THE HEATED SEATS WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. I GOT TO THE MEET AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON MY WAY HOME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING AND ABOUT A FEW MILES FROM MY HOUSE I STARTED TO SMELL ELECTRICAL BURNING. I WAS PULLING OVER WHEN SMOKE STARTED BILLOWING FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THERE WHERE FLAMES SHOOTING FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. I SLAMMED THE CAR IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT JUST IN TIME AS THE CAR WAS CONSUMED IN
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SLOWLY OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH BETWEEN THE LOWER GEARS ON UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS AND WILL HOLD A GEAR HANGING WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE OR ACCELERATE AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY LUNGE FORWARD AND CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AS IT BECOMES HARD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES SUDDENLY
