What owners wrote
While driving 30MPH hit a tree and front was in a v shape after accident. Air bags did not deploy. Radiator and hood were no good. The bumper was split in half and the hood buckled in a 45 degree angle.
Rear subframe retainers rusted out causing engine/transaxle to drop and steering shaft to separate causing loss of control where the vehicle ended up in the on coming lane of traffic. The retainers have been replaced at least once before. Replacement parts have the same defect as the original parts. I don't believe that is a solution. One GM dealer (don miller in madison) denied any knowledge of a recall. Another GM dealer said GM will offer a couple hundred dollars and take the car, but there is no repair option.
