THE BRAKE SLIDE IS ALUMINUM BLOCKS WITH STAINLESS STEEL PINS. THIS IS IMPROPER DESIGN SINCE A CATALYST ACTION CORRODES THE ALUMINUM CAUSING ALUMINUM OXIDE TO FREEZE THE PINS MAKING THE BRAKES TO SEIZE AGAINST THE ROTOR. THIS BURNS THE PADS AND CAUSED BREAKING AWAY OF PAD MATERIAL. I HAVE ONLY 28000 MILES AND THE BRAKES ARE GONE. ALSO RESULTS IN LOW FUEL MILAGE. POSSIBLE CAUSE OF HIGHWAY ACCIDENT SUCH AS HAPPENED IN SPRING KILLING A WOMAN ON I-65 SOUTH OF INDIANAPOLIS. I WAS FORTUNATE NO PERSONAL ACCIDENT OCCURRED. WROTE GM AND WAS BRUSHED OFF. VEHICLE USED ONLY ON TRIPS WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. BUT BRAKES ARE GONE SO REPLACED BUT WILL NOT FIX GM PROBLEM. BLACK AND POLISHED LIKE BLACK ONYX STONE.

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I AM HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. ELECTRICAL, LIGHTS, THE AIR SYSTEM.

VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. WILL BURN AS MUCH AS 3 OR MORE QUARTS IN 1000 MILES OR LESS. WAS NOTIFIED BY CHEVROLET MECHANIC THAT SOME OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NORMAL, BUT THAT IF THE CONSUMPTION WAS EXCESSIVE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY UP TO $3500 OR MORE TO FIX THE CAR. THERE ISN'T A RECALL OUT ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BUT ALL CARS EQUIPPED WITH THIS 2.4L ECOTECH ENGINE HAD THE SAME ISSUES FROM THE RESEARCH I CONDUCTED. THE MECHANIC I TALKED TO SAID THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE PISTON RINGS ALLOWING OIL TO REACH THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. SOMETIMES EVEN THE FUMES COME INTO THE CAR AND THEY ARE PRETTY HARSH TO BREATHE IN.
