AT 61,000 MILES THE HEAD GASKET BLEW. AT THE TIME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $900. WITH NO CHOICE AT HAND, I DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. I COMPLETED THE JOB IN ABOUT 14 HOURS, PLUS THE EXPENSES OF THE PARTS. I DIDN'T SAVE MY RECEIPTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE I WOULD NEED THEM. HOWEVER, I DID SAVE THE HEAD GASKET.SOME MONTHS LATER, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET STATING THIS WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE WORK. I PROCEED TO CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER WHO ISSUED ME A CASE # OF 06762207. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD RECEIVE NOTHING WITHOUT A RECEIPT. ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *AK

HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM THE BEGINNING. I WOULD BE DRIVING IN POURING-DOWN RAIN AND THE WIPERS WOULD GO OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER. RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAD TO WORK ON MY BRAKES THE FIRST YEAR AND A COUPLE OF TIMES THEREAFTER. I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE MY AIR-CONDITIONER DONE. THE LATEST WAS MY WATER PUMP THAT I FIXED MYSELF. THE WORSE WAS MY MOTOR. I HAD BEEN STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES TILL FINALLY IT WOULDN'T GO AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO MICHAEL HOLLEY CHEVROLET IN LAKELAND (THE TOWN I WORKED IN). THEY REFUSED TO HONOR MY SMARTCARE SAYING I HAD NOT CHANGED THE OIL.
