Consumer Description

ESC AND TRACTION CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. IT STATED IT NEEDED SERVICING AN DASH INFO CENTER. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND FIRST THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER 4 HOURS THEY CALL AND SAID THE FRONT WHEEL HUB HAD TO BE REPLACED. CODE # C0040, RIGHT FRONT HUB WAS DROPPING SIGNAL.. THIS WAS DONE AT A COST OF $636.70 TO ME. A CAR WITH 16,000 MILES, DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS CAR FROM GM, SO FAR I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY FIX FOR THIS RECALL./ RECALL # 13036. I FEEL GM OWES ME SOME MONEY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR
