Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED .. IF I WAS DRIVING ANY FASTER OR IF THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!!!!RESULT WAS THE TIMING BELT. THE CAR ONLY HAD 52000 MILES. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND ALL THEY COULD OFFER ME WAS A LOYALTY DISCOUNT ON A NEW CAR... WHICH I PROBABLY WOULD BE ENTITLED TO ANYWAY .. I JUST FOUND A LETTER FROM GM INDICATED THAT THE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIMING BELT WAS AT 60K MILES... WELL MY CAR DIDN'T MAKE IT TO 60K .....SO THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND CONTINUE TO DENY IT!! *JS
