What owners report
In January 2022, I noticed white smoke coming from the engine and a mechanic said it was the water pump that needed to be replaced, so I have it replaced. Recently, I noticed the same white smoke coming from the engine and took it back to the same mechanic who installed the water pump. The mechanic said it was the intake manifold that caused the white smoke. I decided to take it to another mechanic to see if the first diagnosis was correct and that mechanic confirmed the first mechanic's diagnosis and my previous experience with another GM vehicle (1997 Vhevy Lumina) that had the exact same problem: water pump went out and intake manifold also started to fail until the Lumina's engine was fr
Car is losing coolant quickly, even though I have replaced the water pump about a month ago.

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT AS THEY DON'T MAKE THE PARTS ANYMORE, NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF EVER NEEDED.
WAS DRIVING FORWARD COMING UP TO AN INTERSECTION AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT .WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND PUSH THE BRAKE DOWN IT STARTED SHAKING AND THE BRAKE CAME UP AND THEN WHEN PUSHED IT BACK DOWN IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY OUT.

HIT US ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE AND WINDOWS WERE SHATTERED OUT BUT NOT ONE AIR BAG WENT OFF/DEPLOYED AT ALL AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED.THERE WERE 3 BABIES IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.
BOUGHT 4 NEW GOODYEAR VIVA 2 TIRES AT WALMART IN APPROXIMATELY 2014 SOMETIME. ACCORDING TO LOCAL TIRE SHOP THEY HAVE 2014 DATE CODES. VAN STARTED DEVELOPING A LOW SPEED WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING. FRONT L TIRE WAS LOW ON PRESSURE SO TOOK TO A LOCA SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED THINKING I JUST NEEDED A PATCH. WRONG! THE SHOP DISCOVERED A TREAD SEPARATION ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL! LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER COMING HERE AND READING ALL THE OTHER ALMOST IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A TREND OF BULGING/POOR RIDE QUALITY/BLOWOUTS AND TREAD SEPARATION FROM THESE WALMART GOODYEARS. LUCKILY I ONLY MADE A 2 MILE ROUND TRIP FROM HOME TO A FRIENDS AND I WAS ABLE TO CA
