Summary

there is a burning oil smell, that is so pungent it causes nausea and burning of the eyes when driving the vehicle. have taken it to 2 separate dealerships, the first told me they could not find an oil leak and i would have to deal with it. the second dealership stated that it is a valve on the back of the motor and that there is nothing they can do about it. i was told not to roll down the windows and to leave recirculate on. called and spoke to gm directly and they state take it to a third dealer and they denied my request to send a master tech to check the vehicle. i am left with driving a car that leave me nauseated and is a possible hazard to drive.

Summary

I AM NOTIFYING NHTSA OF THIS INCIDENT FOR THE RECORD. I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON 9/30/2020 ... AFTER 3 SHORT TRIPS TO KEEP FLUIDS MOVING AND THE BATTERY CHARGED DURING THE BREAK IN PERIOD THE CAR HAS BE SETTING UNDER A CAR COVER WITH 426 MILES ON IT. I AGAIN STARTED TO GO FOR A RIDE ON 1/17/2021TO DO ANOTHER BREAK IN RIDE. THE CAR STARTED WELL AND WHEN I PUT IN DRIVE I NOTICED A SHUTTERING AND THE TRANSMISSION INABILITY TO SHIFT SMOOTHLY. AFTER JUST A FEW MILES I NOTICED SHIFTING AND SLIPPING WAS STARTING TO BE MORE FREQUENT SO FOR SAFETY REASONS I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK HOME. WHILE TURNING INTO MY STREET THE CAR TRANSMISSION FAILED AND SLIPPED AND STOPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN JUST NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN SHIFTING, ENGAGING AND TAKING OFF. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY AT THIS TIME IT IS NOT SAFE AND I FIND OUT THROUGH RESEARCH IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GM WITH LITIGATION IN PROGRESS ON THIS ISSUE. WHY AND HOW CAN GM STILL SELL THESE CARS WITH THIS ISSUE STILL PRESENT. I CAN NOT TAKE A CHANCE WITH THIS CARE AS IS MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY DEPENDS ON IT. .THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND SUPPORT WITH THIS MATTER.
