Consumer Description

VEHICLE EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, OVER 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES, AND HAS DONE SO SINCE NEW. EXHAUST PIPES CONTAIN BLACK OILY RESIDUE. COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT A REPAIR FOR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL FALL 2001, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. I REQUESTED A BUY-BACK WHICH THEY DENIED. I REQUESTED THAT CHEVROLET WRITE ME A LETTER EXPLAINING THEIR POSITION AND THEY REFUSED.*AK
