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.
Engine, powertrain and electrical shut down, fuel shows empty when full, has happened nine times while at speed. Have to coast to stop where ever room can be found, turn key to off and wait then restart.
Hypothetical situation 1: electrical fire in car, shorts our power to passenger compartment. Electric windows won't work, power door locks won't work. On GM vehicles, with power door locks there is no way to escape from the passenger compartment. Outcome: Serious injury or death hypothetical situation 2: vehicle submerged in water shorting out power. No way to escape, as electric windows don't work and power locks don't work. Outcome: Serious injury or death hypothetical situation 3: sitting in vehicle, hot summer day, fuse blows, electrical short, or battery dies, with windows up, and doors locked, no way to escape short of breaking window, if able. Needless to say, GM vehicles with power windows and power door locks have a safety issue. Simple solution do as all other auto manufactures do, connect door handles to open door even if locked.
