NHTSA Complaint #10872874 — 2012 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY. IN MARCH THE RADIO STARTED GOING OFF AND ON SOMETIMES WHEN BLINKER IS TURNED ON SOMETIMES NOT. TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON. ONE DAY JUST STARTED ACTING LIKE BATTERY WAS GOING DEAD. TURNED IT OFF COULD NOT GET KEY OUT OF EGNITION. HAD IT TOLLED TO CHEVY SAID IT WAS MY BATTERY. 400.00 HUNDRED FOR THAT TRIP .THAT WAS THE 4TH TIME IN SHOP IN TWO MONTHES. THIS IS THE THIRD BATTERY IN 4 YEARS. HAD IT REPLACED IN APRIL. IT STARTED THE SAME THING LAST WEEK RADIO, LIGHTS GO DIM, TONIGHT GET HOME AGAIN KEY STUCK IN EGNITION. THE SAME THINGS I HAVE READ ABOUT HAPPENING TO OTHER CAPTIVA . MY HUSBAND READ ON OTHER SITE TO MOVE ELECTION SEATS UP AND DOWN AND KEY WOULD COME OUT HE TRIED IT AND IT WORKED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP MORE THEN I HAVE DROVE IT. I BOUGHT THE EXTRA WARRANTY BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. ONE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE THE BATTERY CABLE IN WHICH THE EXTRA WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER COST FOR CABLE IS 600.00. JUST SPENT 400.00 ON BATTERY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I WISH I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT CONSUMER REVEIWS. 13,00.00 DOLLAR MISTAKE. BACK IN THE SHOP AND DEPENDING ON A RIDE AGAIN! OH AND EXTRA WARRANTY NOT WORTH IT STILL HAD TO PAY TO HAVE CAR TOLLED TO SHOP ,AND TO HAVE IT ANALYSISED. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FORD.
