This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was parking my vehicle. I had put the vehicle in reverse to back up and the gears just started to slide up and down. The gears would not catch at all, they just started sliding. It stayed in reverse. The car would not stop moving backward, so I had to put on my emergency break! I was very shuck up. This is dangerous and alarming when your gears go out. I had my car towed to my house. I will not drive a car that stays stuck in reverse. What if this should happen while I am driving. This would cause a serious accident for me and other safe drivers. Please fix this defect!!!!!!!! who will tell my story if I am dead!!!!
My son wrecked his car and it rolled multiple times and none of the air bags went off he was driving and his car struck a guardrail and continued in motion and rolled multiple times he was cut from the car.
Subject: NHTSA item number 10032206 brake lights comments: My 2005 Malibu maxx has intermittent problems with brake lights. They go on without putting on the brakes and go off when I put on the brakes. In addition, the cruise control works intermittently. I found a tsb dated 2009-06-01 that describes it perfectly. Chevy can't find the same tsb in their system and won't help me. The dealer replaced the brake lamp, but that is clearly not the problem (based on the tsb). The dealer can't see the problem because it's intermittent. I want this fixed (the car is dangerous to drive) but don't want to have to pay again, when I first paid for something that was clearly the wrong solution, and for which the dealer could have found the same tsb that I found (even if it's not in the GM system). The solution appears to be "high resistance to terminal fretting corrosion in the body control module (BCM) C2 connector (specifically pins C2-18, C2-31, and C2-59). The correction is to unlatch the C2 connector and disconnect from the BCM. Then repeat this and then apply dielectric lubricant on the BCM C2 pins. It is not a brake switch problem. Please contact me and let me know what options I have, and if NHTSA can deal with GM about this. Thank you.
