Poor mileage

Experience rather noisy. Car has a whine at 35 mph that dealer says is normal. My wife will not drive it as she cannot find a comfortable seat adjustment position for her short legs. (She has no problems with our Ford product). The fuel mileage is terrible. I sold my pickup to get better mileage but it did not happen.

I used to love my car but once the airbags decided they didn't want to work anymore the love affair was over. The car has been in the shop three separate times and nobody can find the problem. The passenger airbag sensors don't recognize anyone in the car when I'm driving. No matter how much they weigh. I no longer feel safe driving this chunk of metal.

I bought this car a few days ago from a buy here pay here dealership and already my drivers door handle broke, passenger door lock acuator is out, rear hatchback door will not stay up unless you hold it up, heater core is bad, I have to drive around for 10-15 minutes just for the heat to blow hot, fuel gauge works when it wants to, every now and then, the transmission would slip from 2nd to third if unless you go super slow, thankfully the dealer is replacing all these things at no cost all because I haven't had the car 72 hours. Other than that, runs good. Love the stereo and AWD feature

Rear doors fill with rain, dust, snow, dirt when going down road. When doors are opened the fender wells are covered with dirt, dust, snow, water making it impossible to use rear seats with out getting clothes ruined..Dealer won't correct nor will G.M. Sorry!
