Consumer Description
THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY AND PARK. THE ENGINE STARTED THE FIRST TIME I PUSHED THE START BUTTON. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE THE TYPE OF FUEL. I STARTED USING THE TYPE FUEL THEY SUGGESTED AND KEPT THE GAS TANK HALF FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE MAY. AGAIN ON JULY 13TH THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN I PULLED UP AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY KEPT IT THREE DAYS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO WEEKS AGO AUGUST 5TH WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT 40 MPH. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB BUT THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START THE FIRST TIME I PUSHED THE BUTTON. I TRIED A SECOND AND THIRD TIME AND I THEN TOOK TIME TO GET MY PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP AND DECIDED I WOULD TRY ONE MORE TIME AND THIS TIME IT STARTED. DEALER KEPT IT 5 DAYS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CALLED THE TECHNICIANS AT GM AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACT PERSON AT GM TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR THE VERANO. THEY MUST NOT BE LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE!! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER AND THIS HAPPENED. I HOPE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
