Consumer Description

EVEN IF THIS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED IT SADLY AS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT CHEVY DOES NOT WANT TO COME TO TERMS WITH. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES OUT AND IN AND READS INCORRECTLY AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE GAUGES AT RANDOM POINTS IN TIME. THE HEATING SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACES AND THE ALTERNATOR CONSISTENTLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVEN WHEN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR IS MAINTAINED. IT IS A CONSISTENT STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING EVEN IF IT IS NOT ON HIGH MILES AND IT IS A SAD PRODUCT FOR CHEVY. *TR
