Description of the problem | Besides the transmission complaint i have already made, i am also experiencing constant electrical issues. An update was already ran on the car's computer for this complaint and the ignition switch was lubricated (hopefully that will prevent the steering lock up that others experience). Neither gm solution has provided an end to my trouble. Dinging when keys aren't in, car won't always start, service this or that dash lights, radio display goes on and off, i can't open my trunk without the push button key fob, the steering is now pulling, and also the headlights are now turning off and on without my hand. There is something wrong with the electrical components of my car, things i should never have to concern myself with... Which could lead to any malfunction but the chevrolet techs can not diagnose what they see with their own eyes because the computer of the car doesn't tell them anything is wrong. Aren't there alternate troubleshooting methods included with the blueprint they designed besides relying on a possibly third-party control module that isn't logging errors? I just hope i'm ready for whatever happens and that i can control a loss of power without suffering injury to myself or others. Scary things to think about on a 100 mile one way, highway speed commute. All of these cars should be overhauled or replaced instead of waiting to see which one's computer from which line crashes first before we put out a recall. These are real safety concerns that are killing people. Concerns that i can't just trade off to another blind consumer and their family. Concerns that either consumer or manufacturer have to pay for. We pay with our safety and hard earned dollar to own their vehicles that they make and don't take responsibility in maintaining a standard for. |
