Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH A LOAD KNOCKING NOISE THAT ORIGINATED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS TO FIX AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY EVENTUALLY ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR AXEL AND ALL COMPONENTS. AFTER THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, THE BRAKES BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE THAT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EACH DAY. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND DO NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. SOUNDS LIKE SOME PARTS MAY DISLODGE FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER WHEN CRANKED TO START. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE BRAKE NOISES AND STARTING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 10 TIMES. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK BY CHEVY. *TR
