Had the recall for the low maneuver turning issue performed at a dealership when i had my oil changed on august 15, 2017. Less than a week later the issue occurred when turning into the driveway and dealership will not honor my complaint to fix it. The statement i hear is "we can't duplicate the problem" but i'm telling them it happened. Either the procedure to rectify the recall isn't working or they didn't perform…

Rounding a corner at low speed and the a/c compressor locked up and stalled the engine. I lost steering and brakes nearly hit a pole. Search for this issue and you will see that gm has a known issue on the 2014 a/c units that they are doing nothing about

Intermittently, when applying the brakes to stop for a red light, the engine wants to keep the vehicle going at the same speed and fights the brake so the vehicle cannot stop. Shifting the gear shift into neutral allows the brakes to work but the engine rpm revs up to 2500 rpm for about 15 seconds before dropping to idle. If the driver didn't apply the brakes hard enough or shift into neutral, the vehicle would…
