STEERING
WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE CAR LURCHES SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE---LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. A MECHANIC CHECKED THE BALL BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS AND THEY WERE OKAY HE SAID. THIS NOISE STARTED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT DOESN'T MAKE THIS NOISE EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY IF MAKING A LEFT TURN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STATIONARY. FIRST OF ALL, CAR KEY BROKE OFF IN THE LOCK. THE BOTTOM HALF IS EMBEDDED IN THE LOCK SO THE SPARE KEY WILL NOT GO IN. THEREFORE, CANNOT LOCK THE CAR AT ALL. SECOND, LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS NOT ON. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I TRANSPORT FOUR SENIORS TO AND FROM CHURCH EVERY WEEK, AND THEY HAVE A VERY HARD TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR FROM THE RIGHT DOOR ONLY IN HAVING TO SLIDE SO FAR OVER. ALSO, SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED, THEY CANNOT LEAVE THEIR THINGS IN IT FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE TAKING THEM. WHY OH WHY DIDN'T CHEVY PUT A LOCK ON BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS??

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AFTER APPLYING BRAKES MADE AWFUL NOISE AND I REAR ENDED A CAR. IT WAS CLEAR, DRY AND SUNNY AT THE TIME AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. I BELIEVE THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAS NOW STARTED COMING ON SINCE THE CAR ACCIDENT. THE DEALER THAT THE BODY SHOP TOOK THE CAR TO AFTER IT FIXED THE FRONT BUMPER SAID IT'S NOT THE TIRE SENSOR THAT'S BAD.
