Costly Major Repairs on REPEAT

One costly repair after another. Like others have said, this car model is a LEMON! Bought it used in 2019 for a little under $12k with only 16,000 miles on it, as it was a former rental. 4 years later and we've spent half this price in major repairs. AC compressor has failed TWICE, engine overheated on the highway due to major leaks/failures in the heating and cooling system which cost almost $3000 to repair, and now just today I'm spending another $1000 to replace the wheel hub and bearing assembly for both front tires. I'm surprised this car hasn't failed on me and gotten me into an accident with how many issues it has had. Contacted GMC to get reimbursed for so many of the issues (car's engine failed at only 36,000 miles) and they had the audacity to laugh in our face and reimburse only $200 for the $3k-4k we've put into parts and repairs. The dealership we bought this car from also ghosted us completely. BEWARE OF THIS MODEL AND CHEVROLET/GMC!!!
