ENGINE
WENT ON 1,000 MILE TRIP AND CAR DIED. WAS ABLE TO JUMP IT EVERY TIME AND IT STARTED. RETURN TRIP OF ANOTHER 1,000 MILES. CAR WAS CHUGGING WHILE PARKED. LATER ENGINE WAS MAKING A RATTLING SOUND. PUT IT IN REVERSE TO PARK AND ENGINE DIED. MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN TRYING TO START IT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIMING CHAIN CAUSED ENGINE TO FAIL AND ALSO OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY. I GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED REGULARLY BY RANDY REED CHEVROLET IN ST. JOSEPH, MO (FREE OF CHARGE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO) WAS NEVER ONCE TOLD OF AN OIL BURNING ISSUE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FIND IT SHOCKING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A FAILING ENGINE! NOW I'M STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN NOT EVEN USE WITH REPAIRS THAT COST AS MUCH AS ANOTHER CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILD AND SUDDENLY IT STARTED TO RAIN. IT WAS A DOWN POUR SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECS THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP DRIVING UNTIL THE RAIN CLEARED. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT NOT TO SAY SOMEONE ELSE HASN'T DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE BATTERY DIES, CAR DIES. NO THEM OR REASON TO IT. IT WILL NOT START. BATTERY IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING, NO INTERIOR LIGHTS RADIO, NOTHING. OTHER TIMES IT WILL LET THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND JUST CLICKS. THIS IS AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT FOR 2-3 DAYS AND NOT DRIVING OR GOING ANYWHERE DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS. WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY, STARTED FINE. WE EVEN TRIED JUMPING THE CAR OFF FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN CLICKED IT WAS TRYING TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. RESULTING IN REPLACING THE BATTERY. NOW IT'S STILL HAPPENING AND THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE IF A STORM, THE WIPERS STOPPED IN THE UP POSITION. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, EVEN TO JUST PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CHECKED THE FUSES AND NOTHING HAD BLOWN. CAN'T GET THEM WORKING AT ALL. HAVE SCHEDULED A VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PROVIDED IT'S NOT RAINING. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DURING A STORM. TERRIFYING. ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR TRYING TO PULL OFF. COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. HAD TO GET HOME; HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AFTER THE INITIAL NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. WE COULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY. DOES ACTUAL DEATH INITIATE A RECALL? IF SO, HOW MANY BEFORE IT'S IMPORTANT. I'VE SEEN ALL THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ENGINE
ON ~1/15/20 I WAS DRIVING ~40 MPH ON A SUBURBAN STREET, I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF A HIGHWAY, A WARNING APPEARED ON MY DASH STATING THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NO OIL AND TO STOP AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ONE BLOCK TO A GAS STATION AND PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE VEHICLE BUT AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK, I SAW THAT A GREAT DEAL OF OIL LEAKED RIGHT ONTO THE GROUND. I MADE A SPLIT DECISION TO PUT ANOTHER QUART IN AND DRIVE ~2 MILES TO A NEARBY REPAIR SHOP I USE. MY TRUCK WAS ASSESSED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A MAJOR OIL LEAK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED ON 1/21/20. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK 8 DAYS TO REPAIR MY TRUCK AND HAD NO LOANER VEHICLE FOR ME TO USE DURING THE REPAIR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER CHEVY OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL.
