I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A HIGHWAY LEADING TO AN OFF RAMP AT ABOUT 35 -40 MPH WHEN TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY. WHEN I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT UNUSUALLY LOW, THE ABS ALSO SEEMED TO FAIL RESULTING IN THE BRAKES LOCKING, CAR SKIDDING AND CONSIDERABLE STOPPING DISTANCE (WELL OVER 100FT). I HIT THE BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND SLID INTO A CURB. CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO NOTED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS SHOT AND THE BRAKES WERE SPONGY. I'VE CONTACTED GM BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET RESPONDED TO MY COMPLAINT. *AK

THE FRONT AND BACK BUMPER ARE NOT THE SAME COLOR AS THE REST OF THE CAR. THERE ARE ALSO DEFECTS WITH THE OVERALL PAINT FINISH - THERE ARE DARK BLOTCHY SPOTS. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY HANDBOOK CALLS THE CONDITION "CHEMICAL PAINT SPOTTING." THE NEW CAR LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS THE OVERALL PAINT FINISH, BUT THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SAYS THAT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY WILL NOT DO ANY REPAIRS. I WAS CHARGED $995 [UNDER OPTIONS INSTALLED BY MANUFACTURER] FOR THIS WHITE DIAMOND PAINT FINISH.*AK

THE CONSUMER WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO CRASH INTO A BUILDING HEAD ON. UPON IMPACT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER SUSTAINED INJURIES AND WAS HOSPITALIZED. *AK *NM

ONSTAR SYSTEM ACTIVATED BY SAYING THAT AN "IMPACT WAS DETECTED", BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, NOR DID I HIT ANYTHING. A PERSON FROM ONSTAR CONNECTED AND ASKED IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT. I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE WHEN THIS HAPPEN. I INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN. THIS WAS ON 8/2/04. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO AN AIRBAG PROBLEM THAT IT COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. THERE IS NO ESTIMATED ARRIVAL FOR THE PART. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. I WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BUY ANOTHER GM CAR/SUV DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT EVEN GET A DATE ON WHEN I WILL HAVE MY CAR BACK.

CONSUMER HEARD THE LUGS/ NUTS AND BOLTS JIGGLING IN THE WHEEL WELL. A BOLT AND LUG NUT ON REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE SNAPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING.
