Consumer Description

BOUGHT CAR AT 29K IN JUNE 2007. AROUND 36K THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR BETWEEN THE GAS LINE AND THE TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO OVERRIDE MY BREAKING. NEARLY KILLED ME BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. (HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL TO MAINTAIN CONTROL). HAD TO FIGHT WITH CHEVY TO GET WARRANTY FIX FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AROUND 41K THE CAR DECIDED THAT THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS -38 OR -40 DEGREES AND WOULD INSIST ON RUNNING HEAT DURING SUMMER. WAS TOLD COMPUTER WAS BAD AND WOULD HAVE TO SPEND $$$$ TO FIX (AND ASKED WHY I WOULD BUY A CAR WITH A BAD COMPUTER!). AROUND 145K OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WENT OUT--IN LESS THN15 K, AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE 4TH ONE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER WEIRD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED WITH MY MECHANIC. AND NOW FINALLY GET RECALL NOTICE AND TOLD THE BEST FIX IS TO HAVE KEY BY ITSELF WITH NOTHING ELSE--FOB AWAY FROM KEY. I SUSPECT THIS CAR IS A LEMON THAT HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. *TR
