FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH THE CAR BOGGS, LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF GAS. HAD IT TESTED AT BRAEGER CHEVROLET AND THEIR COMPUTER WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANIC COULD FEEL IT. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NO SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT AS I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL DIE OR NOT WHILE I AM DRIVING IT.
