This is the 2nd gm all terrain vehicle i have owned that the speedometer quits working after 50000 miles . When i research on mine there are a bunch of owners that are complaining about the same thing. And it's the instrument panel that needs to be changed
First the airbag warning light came on. This has been an ongoing issue since 2008. My speedometer registered the wrong speed. My settings for the seat and mirrors quit working over time.hot air would come out of my vents when the air conditioner was on randomly. Radio, navigation, heat, air…
The engine light constantly stays on and i've taken it to a mechanic but it comes right back on again. The gas gauge doesn't work properly. When you fill the tank to full the arrow only goes to the halfway mark.
I could be driving on the expressway and the right of come on and stability traction disabled come home and cut my power they are to 10 miles an hour while i'm driving
Front seat heater for driver comes on when ignition is turned on without being selected.
