Consumer Description

WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR HESITATES. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS ON THE SECOND OR THIRD START. HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY REROUTED SOME WIRES ON 10/9/01, IT HAPPENED AGAIN 10/12/01. HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TWO TIMES SINCE. THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY KIDS IN THIS CAR. I CALLED CHEVY AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. FINALLY THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A FIX. AND THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY COULD SEE IT HAPPEN FOR THEMSELVES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT I CAN TELL YOU I DON'T TRUST THE CAR AND DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY KIDS IN IT.*AK
