What owners report
This vehicle has an electrical issue from time to time seemingly out of nowhere. There is no power steering it just shuts off sometimes itâll stay off for an hour sometimes itâll stay off for weeks and I canât figure out how to fix it. It randomly fixes itself same can be said for the air conditioning And the driver side, headlight all of these electrical functions, seemingly turn themselves up or down for no apparent reason.

I was lucky not to get into an accident from this. The last replacement has lasted almost ten years. However, my issue is that General Motors apparently keeps manufacturing a defective part. This is unacceptable because I had to pay $585.02 to have this work done due to the fact
