I purchased this vehicle October 20th 2017 and within 2 weeks the service driver assistance system light came on. Took it to dealer was told was old code and erased a few days later same message came on was told dash was cleared and GM case filed. A few days later light came on for 3rd time. Dealer toyed us around about fixing it but finally supposedly did with new sensors in seat. Since then I have been having major electrical issues with my ABS system and key fob. Key fob becomes unresponsive and ABS light comes on and off. Took car to dealership was told ABS sensor was supposedly broke and not covered under warrentee and they refused to fix the issue for me. I am very affraid to drive the vehicle it sits parked in my yard and I paid over 20K for it. I feel I have been taken advantage of because I have a disability with my speech. I have documentation about key fob and ABS I can send if needed. The car was driving when the ABS light came on went off and traction control came on then off then back on. The key fob wouldnt work when trying to turn car off because it has push button the fob controlls starting it and turning it off.

Intermittently my electronic panel will shut down and no electronic functions will operate. Typically they will return power in about an hour or less. There has been a time in the last 15 days that the power did not return and I had to have the car towed to the dealership. Turns out that resulted in a fuse replacement for $125. The emergency flashers will randomly come on and the dealer would not cover it until I called GM headquarters and they got the dealer to cover it under a notice issued for the vehicles of my type but not my VIN number. My brakes squeak frequently but the dealer tells me that is normal but will not tell me if the recall had been fixed for that item. My brake lights and flashers will come on when I am driving, starting the car or park the care and leave it for some time. This happens like the electrical system shutdown, without any warning, in all seasons, during all times of the day or night, after extended or short duration trips. There is noting I have found to help me predict the occurrences and lately I don't drive it for fear of being stranded unless I am alone. Since the dealer can not duplicate the issue they are not willing to repair it and want me to pay $600 to have the body control module replaced in hopes that will clear up the problems.

Right turn signal failure.. all of my right turn signal marks go out. Front, mirror, and rear. The dealer where I took the my vehicle to said that they could not get it to reproduce the problem. I was told that in their diagnostic that it was showing the front turn signal failure and I had a picture of the rear turn signal failure. They told me I needed to video tape it when it happens. While I'm driving"?" I contacted GM and opened a case on it which got the dealer to take it in. I got the vehicle back and it still did the same thing. I called GM back up and told them is wasn't fixed and they told me that the district manager said to close the case and to go get it fixed somewhere else. As of 2/16 I am still awaiting to get the vehicle fixed. The district manager of GM told the dealer not to fix it.
