Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS. I AM SURPRISED IT HAS NO RECALLS. THE PROBLEMS START TWO YEARS AGO. THE VALVE COVER STARTED LEAKING. OIL WAS EVERYWHERE. GOT THAT REPLACED BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. APPARENTLY THE PCV VALVE IS BUILT INTO THE VALVE COVER. WE ARE ABOUT TO BE ON OUR 4TH VALVE COVER. IT'S CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS A MONEY PIT, AND ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REFUNDED FOR REAL. IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP AND HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, AND CAUSES NOTHING BUT STRESS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY EVER AGAIN.
