Consumer Description

PROBLEM BEGAN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC..LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT OR KILLED. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE ENGINE AND HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN THE TEST AND I NOW HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK 2 MORE TIMES TO PROVE THE PCV HAS TO BE REPLACED. MEANWHILE I HAVE TO KEEP 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE CAR AND CHECK EVERY 1000 MILES TO ENSURE OIL LEVER IS PROPER SO CAR WON'T STOP. I'M A SINGLE PARENT WITH A 2 YEAR OLD AND THIS "CONDITION" WITH THE VEHICLES IS DANGEROUS. SHAME ON GM FOR NOT PLACING A RECALL OUT AND JUST DOING THE REPAIR ACROSS THE BOARD. I AM LITERALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT STUCK WITH IT CAUSE IT IS MY ONLY CAR AND WHO CAN AFFORD A NEW ONE. I HAVE HAD 2 OIL CHANGES OR TOP OFFS THIS MONTH ALONE AND A WEEK AGO I HAD TO ADD A QUART SO THE CAR WOULDN'T STALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! CHEVY IS ABOUT TO LOSE A CUSTOMER IN ME. SIGNED - SCARED SINGLE MOM IN HOUSTON, TX
