What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I came out next morning and my window was shattered in a million pieces inside my car (no glass on outside of vehicle at all). I know that the gmc envoy had this very same defect. No one had been parked beside me, no footprints or evidence of mischief, no foreign objects inside of car (except glass).
Leaking power steering fluid and pump making loud noise .
Truck has only 57,000 miles & brake lines look as tho they are ready to break because of excessive rust. I pull horse trailers &brake am concerned about brake safety. After reading about all the complaints about the brake lines, what should I do? Brake pedal went right to floor. Almost crashed!
