Description of the problem | January 2016 i purchased a 2015 certified chevytahoe (vin [xxx]) from kuni chevrolet cadillac located 2449 fulton ave,sacramento, ca 95825. Six months later i begin experiencing major issues with the vehicle. Those issues includes the following: flickering of the head lights when using turning signals and or use of rolling up the car windows, the dash board completely powering off, the vehicle completely powering off, and the sterling wheel locking during any turns. Please note that all these issues takes place while driving the vehicle at any speed. I have taken my car in multiple times for the same issues however, autonation chevrolet airport continues to state that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. There have been multiple near fatal car accidents due to the issues with this vehicle. While driving through a green light, making a left turn the steering wheel locked up causing the car to spin in the middle of the intersection as i slammed on the brakes to which i was stuck in the intersections for approximately five mins until the locked wheel would unlock thus allowing me to move. Another occasion took place while exiting off a high way ramp to which i slammed on breaks nearly causing other cars to rear end my vehicle. I have provided autonation chevrolet airport with video proof of the unsafe issues i am experiencing. I have taken the time to express in great detail to both the general manger [xxx] at autonation chevrolet airport and the following senior advisors at the gmc/chevrolet customer assistance cooperate office [xxx]. There have been multiple case numbers issued to address my concerns and the safety of this vehicle ([xxx]). I am seeking to get out of this unsafe vehicle.
