Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO A DEALER (TONY'S CHEVROLET) BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE ENGINE DIES WHEN PUT INTO GEAR AFTER BEING STARTED. IT ALSO RUNS VERY ROUGH AND "CHUGS" WHILE IDLING OR WHILE DRIVING, AS IF IT IS GOING TO DIE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS A TIMING PROBLEM THAT WILL BE FIXED WHEN A NEW SOFTWARE CARD IS AVAILABLE (APPROX. SEPT. 1). THEY CLAIM THAT NO DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO MY CAR. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIM THAT THEY THEY HAVE NO REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM IN TAHOES. AFTER TALKING TO TONY'S, CHEVROLET C.S. SAID THAT IT IS A TIMING PROBLEM, OFF BY 12%, AND THAT IT WILL BE REPAIRED WITH A NEW SOFTWARE CARD. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS NOT CAUSING HARM TO THE CAR. I AM CONVINCED THAT IT IS INCREASING MY GAS CONSUMPTION. I FEEL UNSAFE AND UNCOMFORTABLE IN THIS NEW (6 MONTHS OLD) AND EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. IT IS TOTALLY UNRELIABLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING OUT AT NIGHT OR THIS WINTER WITH A VEHICLE THAT MAY NOT RUN.
