Consumer Description

EVERY NIGHT I DRIVE HOME FROM MY NIGHT JOB THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE COME ON THAT THERE'S AN OBSTRUCTION ON MY FRONT SENSOR. THE CVT IS TRASH, MY RPM KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN WHEN I DRIVE ON SLIGHT INCLINE AND I LOOSE SPEED. ONCE, ON THE FREEWAY I LOST OVER 25 MPH WHERE THE FASTEST I COULD GO WAS 40MPH. IT WAS SCARY AND I HAD MY BABY IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE DEALER FORCED ME TO GET THIS CAR AND SAID I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. LIES AND SHAME ON WINTER CHEVROLET OF PITTSBURG CALIFORNIA!!! THEY NOW DON'T RETURN MESSAGES!!!
