| Description of the problem | January 15, 2015 not even two weeks after purchasing my vehicle i got in it after work and noticed i couldn't manage the climate controllers (heating/air conditioning/speed/air flow) nothing in the front or back. I immediately called the dealership and sent in a picture. All the knobs and controllers for just the climate were dark, no lighting as if the vehicle was off. I drove it home and since it was so cold out it was thought maybe it just needed to warm up more. I drove 45 minutes home and the climate controllers never turned on again until the next morning. Took it to the dealership because i was also having other issues and they stated they couldn't find anything wrong. Everything has been fine with the climate controllers from that point on until this weekend. On march 21, 2015 i drove to pick up breakfast, everything was fine. An hour later after we piled in the vehicle and were driving i went to kick the air on as it was getting warm and noticed the controllers were not responding again. I pulled over into a parking lot and recorded my actions so the dealership can't say they need to "see it." i turned the vehicle off, tried turning the lights on and off, remote starting, everything but disconnecting the battery. Nothing. The rest of the day while we bounced from store to store with had no air. March 22nd, it was back on as normal. Today march 23rd after work it was not operational again. Something needs to be done, the last post i had on this site was when i had a 2014 gmc acadia and my son over heated from a very similar situation. This is beyond ridiculous that i have yet another gm made vehicle and there is a major issue with a brand new vehicle. Gm needs to be held responsible, not having heat or air conditioning in a family vehicle is extremely dangerous for anyone who depends on travel with that vehicle. |
