ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS VEHICLE KEPT CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE GOING 55 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO HUBERT VESTER CHEVROLET AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AT A COST OF $388.98 INVOICE NO 73404C THIS STILL DID NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. TO THIS DAY IT IS STILL CUTTING OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH I AM SCARED TO DRIVE BUT COULD NOT SELL IT FOR THIS REASON. I HAVE HAD THE CAR ALL THIS TIME AND NOW FIND OUT THAT IT HAS THIS RECALL FOR CUTTING OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND OF MY MONEY AS THEY DID NOT FIX MY VEHICLE.

SEAT BELTS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO REPAIR ALL RECALL ISSUES. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT ALL PARTS WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A THREE HOUR WAIT. DROVE APPROX. 100 MILES TO DEALER (BILL GATTON CHEVROLET-CADILLAC). ONE RECALL ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, RESULTING IN ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO BE MADE WHEN OTHER PARTS ARRIVED. NO PRECAUTIONS WERE MADE TO ENSURE VEHICLE PROTECTED AGAINST SERVICE DEPARTMENT INJURY TO VEHICLE, IE, NO PAPER MATS PLACED IN CAR, DIRT INSIDE CAR, AND KEYS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE ON THE DEALER LOT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN A PRISTINE CONDITION, (51,000 ACTUAL MILES). HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN ON SALT OR UNDER ANY BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE DEALER EVEN COMMENTED THAT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE BRAND NEW. I WOULD WELCOME A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY FOR THIS DEALERSHIP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DEVELOPED A SEVERE LEAK. THE LEAK CAUSED FUEL TO BE RELEASED IN LARGE QUANTITIES DIRECTLY INTO THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD AND OUT THE THROTTLE BODY. FUEL CONTINUED TO FLOW OUT INTO THE AIR CLEANER HOUSING AND EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ONTO THE GROUND. SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL WERE DISCHARGED IN THIS FASHION. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING POORLY BUT GAVE NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A LEAK UNTIL THE AIR CLEAN WAS OPENED. THE PART THAT FAILED WAS A STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS PART NUMBER PR216T PURCHASED FROM ROCKAUTO.COM ON 5/15/2013 AND INSTALLED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. VEHICLE MILEAGE AT INSTALLATION WAS APPROXIMATELY 131000. THE PART FAILED ON 10/20/2014 AT VEHICLE MILEAGE148243 MILES. THE PART WAS INSTALLED TO CORRECT A SIMILAR SITUATION INVOLVING A MUCH LESS SEVERE LEAK IN AN OLDER PART. THE FUEL LEAKAGE WITH THE OLDER PART DID NOT ESCAPE THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD. AGE AND ORIGIN OF THE OLDER PART ARE NOT KNOWN. THE OLDER PART MAY HAVE BEEN ORIGINAL TO THE VEHICLE. GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF FUEL DISCHARGED AND THE REPEATED NATURE OF THE FAILURE, I FEEL AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED. *TR
