Consumer Description

WHILE GOING UP A HILL IN TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. THERE WAS NO WARNING. CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED BATTERY/ALTERNATOR AND THE TIMING BELT. *AK THE LIGHT HAD COME ON FOR COOLANT, BUT THE THERMOMETER NEVER GAVE WARNING, THE MECHANIC BLED THE LINES TO THE COOLANT AND THE LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON. CONSUMER FELT THAT SOMETHING WAS ELECTRICALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND WANTED CHEVY TO OFFER A BUY BACK IN WHICH THEY REFUSED. *SCC
