Consumer Description

PERSISTENT GROANING AND CREAKING FROM FRONT END SUSPENSION. DEALER REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS ISSUE HOWEVER THERE IS A REPAIR BULLETIN PUBLISHED ON THIS ISSUE AT GMREPAIRINSIGHTS.COM WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THIS CAR AND OTHER SIMILAR MODELS. THE DEFECT AS DESCRIBED IN THE REPAIR BULLETIN MAY LEAD TO MECHANICAL FAILURE OF IMPORTANT PART OF SUSPENSION WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURIES OR HARM TO OTHER DRIVERS. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON 12.28.2022 AND THE DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.
