I WAS ON MY WAY HOME TODAY AND THINK GOD MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING..MY GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING ON THE CAR WHICH IS DOES FROM TIME TO TIME. WE MERGE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE GAS PEDAL ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP IT JUST KEEP GETTING FASTER,, MY BRAKES WOULD NOT EVEN STOP IT OR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE EITHER..WE HAD TO RUN SOME RED LIGHTS BECAUSE WE COULD NOT STOP IT SO WE COULD TRY TO GET HOME WITHOUT CRASHING THE CAR TO STOP IT BUT WE COULD SLOW IT DOWN PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS BURNING UP THE BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION. FINALLY WE GOT IN FRONT MY HOUSE AND HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK FAST JUST TO STOP IT. THE GAS PEDAL ONLY ACCELERATES AND THE BRAKES DON'T EVEN WORK ON IT...WE COULD OF DIED TODAY!!! I'M SO GLAD I WAS NOT DRIVING IT..I WOULD...

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2004 AND I LOVED IT WHEN I FIRST DROVE IT OFF THE CAR LOT. THEN I HAVE HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM! MY GAUGES MESS UP ALL THE TIME. I CAN GET INTO MY CAR AND START IT UP AND IT WILL SAY I'M DOING 70 MPH AND I'M NOT MOVING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY CLUTCH TWICE IN A YEAR. IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF CHEVROLET WOULD DO A RECALL ON THE GAUGES WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING!! *TR

THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE GROUND AND FAILED, THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR. FINALLY TURNED OFF THE KEY AND GOT THE ENGINE TO STOP. HAD JUST COME OFF A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WAS IN A SCHOOL SPEED ZONE SO THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT A FEW MINUTES EARLIER THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THE CLUTCH LINE SNAPPED BECAUSE THERE IS A SHARP PIECE OF METAL THAT LIES NEXT TO IT AND RUBS IT. THIS CAR HAS A HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING AT ABOUT 40K THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF. GM HAS NOT DONE A RECALL, BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
