DRIVING REGULAR SPEED AND NOTICE LOST OF POWER FROM RPM. I TURN A FEW TIME THEN LOST MORE POWER, AFTER THIS HAPPEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN. CHEVY DEALER AND GM I FILE A COMPLAINT BUT LOST MY CASE BECAUSE THEY SAY IT WAS MY PROBLEM. I DRIVE A STICKSHIFT FOR 10+ YEARS NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM AND NEVER HAD ANY TICKETS TO DAMAGE MY CAR. BEFORE HAVING THE CAR, THE CLUTCH-PAD WAS SHIFT AND ALSO PUSH DOWN AND STAY DOWN IF I GO BACKWARDS OR IN 3-5GEARS. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING, RADIO AND SCREEN STOPPED WORKING, LIGHTS ON DASH STOPPED WORKING, WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ADD FUEL. THE CAR WAS ON EMPTY AND AS I TRIED TO PUMP GAS, THE GAS WOULD COME BACK OUT. 2ND INCIDENT ON AUGUST 22, 2014 - AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK, LIGHTS ON DASH WOULD NOT WORK 3RD INCIDENT ON AUGUST 24, 2014 - AIR CONDITIONER, RADIO AND SCREEN AND ALL POWER CONTROLS INSIDE THE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. 4TH INCIDENT - AUGUST 26TH - AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING MILEAGE AS OF NOW ON CAR 2,600 MILES. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE MAKING A SUDDEN SHARP LEFT TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP COMPLETELY, BRAKES COULD NO LONGER BE DEPRESSED ANY FURTHER AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO FULL STOP, THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RELEASE MY KEY OR LET ME START THE CAR AFTER SHIFTING IT BACK INTO PARK. I TRIED SHIFTING OUT AND BACK INTO PARK, OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR AND CLOSING IT WITH NO FIX. AFTER 3 MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY LET ME START THE ENGINE AND RELEASED THE WHEEL, BRAKES AND KEY. ONSTAR'S DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT TIME OF INCIDENT SHOWED NO PROBLEMS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING AND CHEVY'S TECHNICIAN SAID THERE ARE NO CODES THAT PULL UP. THE TECHNICIAN AND I BOTH REENACTED THE SITUATION WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC LAPTOP AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DO IT AGAIN AND I WAS SENT OFF WITH "NO KNOWN ISSUES FOUND". *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 AT AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. I SLOWED TO GET OFF THE EXIT AND AS I DID THE ENGINE DIED AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE INOPERATIVE. LUCKILY I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN LATER IN THE SAME EVENING AND TWICE 2 DAYS LATER ON I-95 AT 70 MPH

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT FOR A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MESSAGE APPEARED WITH THE STATEMENTS ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN FOR A RESTART. UPON RESTART, THE MESSAGES CONTINUED. I RESEARCHED MY OWNER'S MANUAL IN WHICH IT SAID GIVEN THESE MESSAGES, THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BUT NEEDED TO BE CHECKED OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED TO MY DESTINATION, HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD TOP OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. WHILE I WAS IN A 55 MPH ZONE, I DECIDED TO AGAIN PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CONTACT ONSTAR. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON, THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME SAYING THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THE DEALER HAD A SPARE FUEL PUMP IN-STOCK, HOWEVER THE FUEL LINE IS NON-SERVICEABLE, AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE ON A BACK-ORDER OF 3-5 DAYS. SEVEN DAYS LATER THE DEALER CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THAT GM WAS RE-ENGINEERING THAT FUEL LINE AND IT COULD BE UPWARDS OF A MONTH BEFORE THE CAR WOULD BE REPAIRED. AFTER A TOTAL OF 17 DAYS, THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE BACK IN ORDER. *TR

I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THAT THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 MPH FROM A SIDE ROAD. I WAITED FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO PASS AND THEN PULLED OUT. AS I PULLED OUT, TURNING RIGHT, MY CAR HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD DIFFICULTY PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING STIFF AND HARD TO HANDLE. AFTER I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I DID NOT BUMP THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THIS HAPPENED EITHER. *TR

I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO RUN FOR MY MEDICATIONS AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON.I CALLED ON STAR AND THEY SCANNED IT AND THERE WAS A CODE U0151.THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO AIR BAG SIGNAL AND IN A CRASH MOST LIKELY THE AIR BAGS WOULDN'T GO OFF AND ON STAR WOULDN'T BE NOTIFIED!I ALSO HAVE BEEN HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THE RACK AND PUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER TO THE LEFT!I TOOK THE CAR TO LUCAS CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH EITHER.THE WOULDN'T EVEN CALL ONSTAR TO VERIFY IT HAPPENED AND REFUSED TO DO THE OPEN RECALL ON MY IGNITION KEYS.I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND CALLED ONSTAR AND THE CODE WAS GONE.ONSTAR SAYS THEY MUST OF CLEARED AND SENT ME ON THE WAY!CHEVROLET IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES! *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW JANUARY 2014 WITH LESS THAN 10 MILES ON IT. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN THREE OR MORE TIMES FOR A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE, I EXPERIENCED A RAPIDLY FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT TWO TIMES. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE ENGINE MAY BLOW. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/29. THE DEALERSHIP "REPLACED" ALL PARTS ON THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE FUEL LINE, FUEL INJECTORS, PISTONS, ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND THIS DID NOT HELP. THEY THEN ATTEMPTED TO EVEN OUT THE COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDERS TO FIX THE ISSUE OF THE COMPRESSION LEAKING. THIS DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL HAVING COMPRESSION ISSUES. THEY FINALLY REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT ENGINE FROM GM. THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED AND I WAS CALLED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AFTER 29 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I REQUESTED A BUY BACK, AS FROM WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD ME REGARDING THE CAR HAVING A DEFECT AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. THE DEALER AND GM WEST COAST LIAISON DENIED BUY BACK DUE TO THE WARRANTY STILL BEING IN EFFECT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK BY THE DEALER. WE ARE PURSUING WITH THE BBB AND A LAWYER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT COOPERATED AND WILL NOT ASSIST ANY FURTHER. THE MAIN CONCERN IS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT BEING IT HAD 5000-6000 MILES, HOW DO WE KNOW IT WILL BE SAFE AND WILL NOT HAVE ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. *TR
