Consumer Description

CAR TOWED IN THREE TIMES LAST SUMMER 6/28/ CAR STALLED, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS, REPLACED BATTERY, ALTERNATOR,7 /27 REPROGRAMMED PCM, 9/16 BRAKES FAILED REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER. WE'VE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM THE START. CHEVY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR ENGINE STARTED SMOKING AND EVENTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED, WE HAVE EXTENDED 8 YEAR WARRANTY. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, MY DAUGHTER HAD TAKEN THE CAR JUST 1/2 MILE TO THE SHOPPING CENTER AND BACK WHEN IT STARTED SMOKING. THE CAR IS TOTALLED, SHE WAS NOT HURT AND A NEIGHBOR WAS HELPFUL BY CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THIS WAS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS.*AK
