ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
GAS FUMES CAN BE SMELLED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VECHICLE WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPS REACH OVER 105 DEGRESS. HAS BEEN WITNESSED BY TWO CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGERS AND HEAD MECHANIC. HAS BEEN SERVICED 5 TIMES BY BRADLEY CHEVEROT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE REGIONAL REP HAS STATED THAT THE FUMES BOTH VISABLE AND ODOR ARE VERY NORMAL. BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HEAD MECHANIC HAVE STATED THAT THEY FEEL THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND WOULD NOT PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN MY VEHICLE. THE VECHILE SMELLS UP MY ENTIRE HOME WITH GAS FUMES AND HAS TO BE PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE. THE ENGINEERS HAVE ASKED THAT A COUPLE OF PARTS BE CHANGED ON MY VECHILE TO PASAIFY ME, BUT THAT IT IS PROBABLY MY FAULT, I MUST HAVE OVER FILLED THE GAS TANK - AND I WAS ASKED "JUST WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU DOING MRS. ANDERSON TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM?". I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT SEVERAL CARS IN LAS VEGAS AND TEXAS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE CEASED TO OPERATE. LUCKILY WE WERE ON A STRAIGHT-AWAY AND ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. HOWEVER OUR ROUTES USUALLY TAKE US THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL CONTROL,IE; NO BRAKES NO STEERING, AT ANY POSTED SPEED LIMIT THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS.THE DEALER INFORMS ME THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER WENT OUT. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THE COMPONENT JUST FAILED. THE DEALER ADVISES ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS OF THE SAME "GRADE" NO UPDATES FOR THIS PART EXIST. THIS IS NOT A COMFORTING THOUGHT.*AK
