ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
MOST RECENTLY WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, AND VISIBILITY WAS EXTREMELY IMPAIRED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM IN 2015, AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING IN 2014, FAILED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN 2016. I BOUGH A NEW CAR BECAUSE IN DIDN'T WANT MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM. IT IS A LEMON.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE DURING A HEAVY DOWN POUR AT NIGHT WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. THEY WERE STUCK IN THE UP POSITION AND NO LONGER MOVED. I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL VISIBILITY DUE TO THE RAIN WHICH COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD TO PARK MY VEHICLE FOR THE DURATION OF THE NIGHT AND WAIT TO GET IT IN THE MORNING WHILE IT WAS NO LONGER RAINING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 55MPH. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SWIPED LEFT AND STOPPED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AND I ALMOST WRECKED IN ORDER TO MOVE OVER TO A SIDE STREET TO STOP DRIVING. I HAD NO VISIBILITY RESULTING IN A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION AND WILL NEED REPAIRS. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED DUE TO SAFETY ON THE ROAD!

WHEN I AM IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I GET A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL IN MY AIR CONDITIONER. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY "COULD NOT SMELL IT" . MY EYES WATER,AND I GET A HEADACHE IF I DRIVE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME I HAVE TO PUT MY WINDOWS DOWN. TWO TECH DID SAY THEY SMELLED IT FAINTLY. I GAVE UP TAKING IT IN BUT I DO STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 18000 MILES ON IT AND DRIVE MOSTLY SHORT TRIPS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON JULY 14, 2019, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE FROM OUT OF TOWN WHEN A HEAVY RAINSTORM CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN AND DOG IN THE CAR WITH ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND THEY WERE WORKING FINE. NOT EVEN FIVE MINUTES WENT BY AND THEY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDOW AND WHILE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT CAUSED IT AS I HAD NO ISSUES LEADING UP TO IT. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST HIT A MOTORCYCLIST UNDER A BRIDGE DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY. CHEVY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. THE 2013 MODEL WAS RECALLED AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH MY SAME VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I PRAY NO ONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE OVER THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT CHEVY IS WAITING ON AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COSTLY TO HAVE REPAIRED.
