ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
CAR GOES INTO DEFERRED ENGINE POWER. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY 3 TIMES. THE CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE AND THEN SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND COULD GET KILLED. WE HAVE CHECKED ENGINE LEAKS, SENSORS, ETC. THE CAR WILL DRIVE OKEY FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND THEN STARTS TO VIBRATE AND SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS. I HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE, SOMETIMES IT WILL START UP AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT. I CANNOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES OR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THE CAR WILL JUST STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY JUST SAY, GET A NEW VETTE, THEY DO NOT TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. NOR DO THEIR TECHNICIANS KNOW HOW TO WORK ON A VETTE. THEY HAVE HAD THE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM IN A NOTEBOOK. ONE TECH LEFT HIS NOTES IN MY CAR. IF A DOCTOR HAD TO TAKE OUT HIS NOTES TO SEE HOW TO DO A SURGERY, I WOULDN'T GO TO HIM. WOULD YOU? '

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE LAST 2 DAYS WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS) SHUT OFF. I SWITCH TO THE HIGH BEAMS AND THEY WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE DARK AND IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ABOUT 30 OR 40 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR 4 OR 5 HOURS AND THEN COME BACK AND THEY START WORKING. IT IS THE UNDERHOOD BUSSED ELECTRICAL CENTER (UBEC) HOUSING I SUSPECT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'M SMELLING FUEL WHENEVER I FILL MY VEHICLE. I NEVER OVER FILL IT. WHEN THE PUMP STOPS I STOP AND DON'T TRY TO FORCE MORE GAS IN IT. WHEN PARKED OVER NIGHT MY ENTIRE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE FUEL. SO TO KEEP FROM HAVING A DISASTER I PARK MY VEHICLE OUTSIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN IT GETS STUCK IN PARK, AND UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN PUSH START AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT INTO GEAR AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT. 50/50 CHANCE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I INHERITED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY FATHER IN EARLY 2017 WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY 03/09/2018 VEHICLE DOES NOT GO INTO PARK BUT IS "STUCK" IN NEUTRAL, DOES NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLED MY CAR WITH FUEL AND PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I WENT BACK OUT TO MY GARAGE AND THE WHOLE GARAGE SMELLED LIKE FUEL. I WAS AFRAID THE GARAGE WOULD CATCH FIRE AS MY WATER HEATER IS IN THERE SO I PULLED MY CAR OUT AND SEARCHED FOR A LEAK. I COULD NOT FIND ONE AND THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALER. THEY FOUND LEAKS IN BOTH TANKS AND I SPENT $2000 REPAIRING THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE THEY PUT ON THIS ISSUE EXPIRED JUST WEEKS PRIOR. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS PROBLEM AS I AM THE SECOND OWNER. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE HAZARDOUS NATURE OF THIS SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME. WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT THIS HAPPENED ON 12-24-17 BUT YOUR FORM WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT IN THAT DATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN FUEL SENDING SENSOR (LOCATED INSIDE GAS TANK) GET COVERED WITH SULFITE. AND DO NOT TRANSMIT FUEL LEFT IN GAS TANK.. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF CAR IS STATIONERY, IN MOTION, OR ON HIGHWAY. GAS GAGE READS ZERO.. CHEVROLET CHANGED THEIR TRANSMITTER THE FOLLOWING MODEL YEAR.. BUT MOST 2007 MODELS AND PRIOR YEARS (2005,06 AND 07 ARE AFFECTED.

ENGINE DESTROYED ITSELF. WITH 56K MILES ON THE ENGINE A VALVE BROKE WHILE RUNNING, FALLING INTO THE CYLINDER WHERE IT WAS HIT BY THE PISTON CAUSING THE PISTON TO GO INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK WALL. THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH VALVES / VALVE GUIDES IN THESE ENGINES. CHEVY PRODUCED A SERVICE BULLETIN (#13-06-01-001) YET DID NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. THEY'VE ALSO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY MY SITUATION.
