THIS TOOK PLACE AT APPROXIMATELY 8:15 AM WHILE TAKING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOO, DURING THE MORNING TIME TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE STRUCK A LARGE ROUND ORANGE BARRICADE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER AND AVOIDANCE HOWEVER I WAS TRAVELING NEXT TO A SEMI AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. AS A RESULT MY VEHICLE NOW HAS A SCRATCH ON THE LEFT SIDE. I THEN CALLED DOT TO REPORT THE DAMAGES AND TO HAVE THE SITE INVESTIGATED FOR FUTURE INCIDENCES. THE COMPANY CONDUCTING THE CONSTRUCTION WORK IS JR DAVIS CONSTRUCTION. THERE IS NOT A PULL OFF ZONE OR A PLACE I FELT SAFE STOPPING TO DIRECTLY SPEAK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL IN CHARGE. I TRAVEL THIS ROAD SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THE BARREL BARRICADES IN THE ROAD AS THEY WERE THIS MORNING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT IN MAY 2005. A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, I ATTEMPTED TO SEARCH THE WEB FOR RECALLS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY. EVENTUALLY IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN ON ITS OWN. SO I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. AROUND 2009, OR MAYBE LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A WAY TO GET IT REPLACED FOR FREE BUT IT HAD STIPULATIONS. LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100K MILES. WELL AT THE TIME IT WAS 108K-115K MILES AND I WAS DENIED. I MUST ADMIT I LOVE MY VEHICLE BUT TO THIS DAY I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO GET THE PUMP REPLACED WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR IT AS IT WAS THE COMPANIES FAULT. I CALCULATE MY MILES BASED OFF THE "TRIP" INDICATOR ON THE DASH. I KNOW IT SEEMS SILLY, I MEAN IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO JUST INVEST, I'M A BIT STUBBORN. SO INSTEAD, WHEN THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE I KNOW MENTION BUYING A CAR I JUST TELL THEM DONT BUY A CHEVY, EVEN IF THEY HAVE AMAZING CARS. TRUTH BE TOLD NOT ONE FAMILY MEMBER HAS A CHEVY BECAUSE OF MY INCIDENT AND ANY NEW FAMILY MEMBERS WELL THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE CHEVY EITHER. THANKS FOR LISTENING, I'M SURE IT WONT MATTER, EITHER WAY BUT THESE BLOGS AND COMPLAINT FORUMS MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. (MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING, TRAVELLING FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER, ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY)
