Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW. IN 2008 IT DIED ON MY WIFE,LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT SHE HAS NEVER DROVE IT SINCE. I HAVE SPENT ABOUT A $1000 BUCKS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. IT WILL START UP AFTER YOU GET STOPPED AND PUT IT IN PARK. I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND LEFT IT WITH THEM AND IT NEVER ACTS UP SO THEY ARE NOT ANY HELP. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DIE ON YOU SO YOU MUST ALWAYS DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE SO YOU CAN PULL OVER. YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I HAVE CALLED GM AND ASK THEM ABOUT IT BUT THEY JUST SAY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON MY CAR.AFTER WATCHING TV ABOUT ALL THE GM CARS THAT ARE DYEING I THINK MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING. I THINK IT IS THE KEY SWITCH. I LIKE THE OLD CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT BUT I'M ABOUT SCARED TO DRIVE IT .I AM 68 YEARS OLD NOW AND DON'T HAVE SO MUCH GET UP AND GO AS I ONCE HAD. *TR
