Consumer Description

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES OF THE EXCESSIVE BATTERY DRAINAGE OF THESE VEHICLES. GM DECIDED THAT THE CAR WOULD NEED TO BE PLACED IN REVERSE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED FOR THE CAR TO BE TOTALLY TURNED OFF. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DRAIN EXCESSIVELY, I HAVE REPLACED 4 BATTERIES IN A YEAR. YOU WILL BE STRANDED WHEREVER YOU'RE AT. GM HAS NOT TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. WHAT THEY DID WAS IN 2006 TOOK THE FUNCTION OFF THE CAR, SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY GM, OR DOES IT TAKE A DEAD BATTERY, A JUMP ,AND A HALF CHARGED CAR TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
