Consumer Description

MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED IT LESS THAN A YEAR.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. EXITING THE FREEWAY THE I HAD A COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED AND LOCKED UP AND THERE WAS A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME! MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND IN "DRIVE" WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD TWO OF MY TODDLERS IN THE CAR WITH ME! THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A LOCAL DEALER AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED IT ERASES THE CODES IN THE ENGINE AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WELL, IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THIS EVENING. SAME PROBLEM. THIS WILL BE MY 5TH TIME OF BRINGING THIS VEHICLE IN FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I ONLY HAVE 9400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY 5 CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS. IS THERE A WAY GM CAN GET ME A BETTER RUNNING VEHICLE? I PAID A LOT FOR THIS VEHICLE AND AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH IT'S PERFORMACE. THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CONNELL CHEVROLET SERVICE HERE IN KILLEEN HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SELL ME THIS VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE THE ONES NICE ENOUGH TO TRY AND FIX THE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS.*AK
