What owners wrote
While driving on the road at 40 MPH and making a quick turn, my steering wheel locked and froze for a minute in a 3 way intersection. Steering wheel will not turn and after a minute it reset again. Then continuing driving pressing the brakes with lock the steering wheel and felt funny. Took it immediately to the dealer to address situation. Pretty scary situation here and a safety concern for sure.
On oct. 23, 2018, engine light came on in the morning. Called onstar in afternoon for code;onstar did not provide code but said it should be serviced asap and made appointment at nearby dealership for next morning. That evening when braking to leave a parking area, the engine completely died/stalled out. Had car towed to dealer. Dealer replaced solenoid sensor.
