Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IN APRIL 2007, AT APPROX. 50,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED TO MISS, THEN BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND LUNGE AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED, WE WERE THEN SENT ON "WILD GOOSE CHASE," FIRST WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A FUEL PEDAL SENSOR, NXT THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, FOLLOWED BY THE WIRING HARNESS, THIS HOWEVER, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, WE TOOK IT BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME AND THE ENDED UP REBUILDING THE HEAD ON THE MOTOR, CAR HAS NOT RAN CORRECTLY EVER SINCE. WE TRIED TO FILE A LEMON LAW CLAIM BUT NEEDED FOUR RECEIPTS TO PROVE WARRANTY WORK, WE HAD THREE AND AFTER THE FOURTH WHEN PICKED UP CAR THE DEALER WOULD NOT RELEASE FOURTH, THAT WAS A YEAR AGO. MY CAR NOW HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT, IT IS BEGINNING TO IDLE ROUGH AGAIN AND WHEN I PUT FUEL IN IT, THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START, AT FIRST IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, AND THEN IT WILL TRY TO TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START I THEN HAVE TO SLAM THE FUEL TO IT IN ORDER TO GET IT STARTED, ONCE IT STARTS IT WILL IDLE ROUGH AND I HAVE TO KEEP GIVING IT FUEL IN ORDER FOR THE IDLE TO SMOOTH. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED, I WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY!!!!!!! *TR
