The liftgate has randomly started closing on me while I'm loading groceries at least 3 times in the past year. Every time it has hit me in the forehead with enough force to cause intense pain for several days. Otherwise, it works normally so there is no way I know to intentionally reproduce the issue. It has not been inspected because, again, it has happened like 3 times in the past year. Very painful, but doesn't seem likely to be something obvious.
When traveling crossing over a bridge onto a highway, my tire started to shake uncontrollably. I went to a tire shop and they found nothing. Upon traveling recently it happened again while on the highway. This issues has affected my tire pressure sensors. I was informed that this is called shudder bucking and only happens when driving at a high speed. Upon research, I was able to find out that this is a known issue for my vehicle model made between the years of 2016 and 2020. This a complete safety hazard and concern and should not come at the expense of the vehicle owner.
The interior windshield, side widows and rear window accumulates moisture and frost and it drips down on my dashboard, down my windows, and forms a puddle in the rear of my vehicle as it melts down. I’m afraid this is going to destroy my electrical system and the interior of my vehicle. I have to wipe up the water with a towel.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 60,000 MILES. CAR IS A 2017, 3 YEARS OLD. DIAGNOSTIC CODE SHOWS THE ALTERNATOR IS NO GOOD. CAR JUST SURPASSED WARRANTY. GM COULD NOT PROVIDE A REASON FOR THE ALTERNATOR GOING BAD ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT FULL SPEED WHEN THE CAR ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT BLACK. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND THE CAUSE. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

KEYLESS, START/STOP ENGINE KEEP RUNNING AWHILE I LOCK DOORS IN WHICH I FORGET TURN ENGINE OFF. NOT SAFE AND COULD GETTING ENGINE FIRE CAUSE LONG RUNNING ENGINE, IDLE TOO LONG. COULD VOID WARRANTY IF DAMAGE ENGINE
