Consumer Description
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES, OVERHEATING LOSING POWER AND BUCKING. ONCE IT WAS TOWED HOME, LEARNED THE ENGINE JUMPED TIME AND THE CAR WOULDN'T RUN AND BARELY STARTS. BOUGHT A TIMING CHAIN KIT AS WELL AS PREVIOUSLY CHANGING THE CAM SENSORS TO NO AVAIL. NEED A WHOLE NEW MOTOR NOW. I CANT AFFORD TO CHANGE IT AND NOW HAVE AN EXPENSIVE YARD ORNAMENT I'M STILL PAYING ON. CHEVROLET KNEW OF THESE ISSUES AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECOUP THOSE OF US WHO HAVE LOST OUT ON A VEHICLE WE PURCHASED ANDCANNOT DRIVE. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE DONE A MASSIVE RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND SAVING ALL OF US THIS FINANCIAL BURDEN.
