| I was turning left into a driveway going no more than 7 miles an hour, because i was following a car, when i heard a large grind then pop. i parked my car and knew immediately the transmission failed by the fluid trail and part left behind. i took it to a dealer and luckily it was covered under the power train warranty. a week after receiving my vehicle back the alignment was off, driver-side headlight socket caught fire, i have labored start up, have stalled on the freeway! and have stabilitrak, airbag, and reduced engine power error codes that randomly appear. | |||

| Gm's use of reverse lights as perimeter lighting is extremely poorly thought out. reverse lights indicate that a vehicle is in reverse motion. they should not be used for any other purpose. using them as perimeter lighting is extremely confusing to other motorists. picture this. a vehicle pulls into a parking space. one person exists the passenger side and the reverse lights come on. approaching drivers are going to expect that the vehicle is about to back out of the parking space, not that the driver has turned off the engine and is waiting for someone to return. that is just one example but it illustrates the point. usage of reverse lights for any other use is confusing and may potentially lead to an accident as other motorists and even pedestrians are confused. remember that reverse lights are also a warning signal to pedestrians that a vehicle is in reverse motion. i urge nhtsa to review this matter and formally request that gm not only cease installing this feature in new models, but also recall and disable it for all past model years. *tr | |||
