Consumer Description

HAVE BEEN TOLD VARIOUS TIMES I NEED NEW STRUTS AND SHOCKS. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS SEEING AS THOUGH I HAVE DO NOT HAVE MANY MILES ON MY CAR AND THE YEAR OF MY CAR. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT A CAR A 2006 AND WITH LOW MILES ON IT SHOULD NEED SHOCKS AND STRUTS RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PAID IT OFF. WHEEL BARING, SHOCKS STRUTS, PROBLEMS GETTING KEY OUT OF IGNITION, HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS LEAKING WATER INTO IT, SLVE CYLINDER AND MASTER CYLINDER, FUEL PUMP. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN! *TR
