First off, if you asked me for the first 2 1/2 years if I loved the car, I would not have hesitated and would swear to anyone that I would get another for my next car. Now??? Hmm let me think about it.
Thanks to this forum a lot of the issues that I have experienced I was able to find on this forum and when it happened to me it was useful ammunition to call GM for assistance, so thank you all for that!!!!!
To recap my issues
- 2011 – 2013 if I went to the dealer it was for any recalls and oil changes then the fun began.
May 2014 49k miles – Service Engine or Charger error msg came on I believe.
• Dealer did the following: Reprogram Power Inverter Module N130202 and did a Hybrid HV Battery Cooling System Pressure test
August 2014 52k miles – That "noise" that some unfortunately experienced

• Dealer replaced Drive Motor Rotor Bearing Replacement
March 2015 60k miles – This might have been a recall
• Dealer did N140274 Liftgate Strut Replacement
May 2015 62k miles – Service Engine or Charger error msg
• This time dealer does a Drive Motor Battery Coolant Level Sensor Replacement, a N140617 Body Control Module Reprogramming with SPS, and N140522 Replace Evaporative Emission Canister and Evaporative Emission Hose
July 2015 65k miles – Servie Engine or Charger error msg
• This time dealer does a Connector with Leads Assembly Replacement
October 2015 69k miles – service light on again I believe
• This time dealer does a battery energy control module reprogramming with SPS (2nd time this year)
November 2015 – 71k Miles – Leaking fluid, engine light on
• This one I found on the forum thankfully otherwise I would have been stuck with this bill. Dealer needed to replace Drive Motor battery coolant, the cracked Radiator, and add 2nd Grille Screen. Apparently due to poor design (location) others are having this happen to them.
January 2016 – 73k Miles – Service light on again I believe
• Drive Motor Battery charger receptacle replacement
May 2016 – 79k miles – Notice a humming noise coming from somewhere (more prevalent over 35 mph) and my passenger side headlight sometimes works, sometimes doesnt.
o Dealer had to replace the wheel bearing to fix the humming noice and for the light, they found that condensation was insight the headlamp assembly which needed a complete replacement.
So whats next? What haven’t I experience from the lovely service bulletins??
