AIR BAGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS REAR ENDED AND IT WAS NOT A BAD ACCIDENT BUT NEEDED A BUMPER AND I NOTICED THAT AFTER THIS HAPPENED MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT THEN THE BUMPER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY LOOKED AT THE AIRBAG LIGHT SENSOR AND RESET IT. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SUGGESTED I CHECK ON THE INTERNET FOR ANY RECALLS. I DID NOT SEE ANY. CAN YOU SUGGEST ANYTHING. I FEEL THAT THEY DID NOT REALLY PROPERLY CHECK OUT THE SENSOR LIGHT OR TO MAKE SURE THE AIRBAG IS OK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE WIRE LIGHTING HARNESS KEPT SHORTING OUT, I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A SHOP. IT LATER MELTED AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I TRIED TO ORDER ANOTHER ON, BUT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY SELLS THE WHOLE KIT NOT JUST THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF. I AM HAVING TO PAY OVER $300 FOR A NEW KIT WHEN ALL I NEEDED WAS A BULB AND THE HARNESS. THIS IS INSANE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR BATTERY WOULD DRAIN, AND LOSE POWER.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE FIRST WINTER I HAD IT, THE THROTTLE BODY SEIZED LEAVING THE THROTTLE OPEN AND THE ENGINE RACING - THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THEREFORE I WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE CLUTCH AND PULL IT OVER. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN CIRCLEVILLE, OH PERFORMED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE CAR, REROUTING THE EGR SYSTEM & REMOVING SOME PARTS AROUND THE THROTTLE BODY. ON SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, THE CAR EXPERIENCED SEVERE LOSS OF POWER AND SURGES. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE SAME TROUBLE CODE BEING SET. THE CAR IS NOW ON ITS THIRD THROTTLE BODY (TPS SENSOR CANNOT BE REPLACED SEPARATELY) THIS MODEL YEAR HAS A THROTTLE-BY-WIRE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. MY CAR STILL SUFFERS FROM AN INTERMITTENT ENGINE TROUBLE CODES RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY AND SURGING PROBLEMS. FINALLY, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION BROKE ITS INTERNAL SHIFTING MECHANISM AND THE CAR LOCKED ITSELF IN GEAR. AT THE SAME TIME, THE CLUTCH DID NOT SEEM TO FUNCTION. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IN THIS CAR.
