| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, 1 DAY AFTER OWNING IT ABS AND NO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE'S A RUMBLE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. MY HUSBAND IS A MECHANIC, SO HE PUT NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON AND CLEANED WHEEL SENSORS. TOOK IT TO SEARS AND HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE DONE. 2 DAYS LATER I'VE GOT THE SAME LIGHTS ON AND RUMBLE IN PEDAL. RAN FINE FOR THOSE 2 DAYS. I'VE READ WAY TO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NO SOLUTIONS TO BE COMFORTABLE ABOUT PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH IT! WHEN IS CHEVY GONNA WAKE UP AND TAKE NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM? THEY HAVE RECALLS FOR REFLECTOR AND CONSOLE LATCHES, BUT THEY DON'T FIND FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEMS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO ADDRESS? WHY IS IT GONNA TAKE ACCIDENTS OR POSSIBLY DEATHS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FAULTY VEHICLES? I SEE POST THAT SAY WE NEED SO MANY PEOPLE TO SEND IN COMPLAINTS OR SIGN PETITIONS TO GET SOMETHING DONE...........REALLY? WHY........CAN'T CHEVY READ FORUMS AND POSTS ABOUT THE VEHICLES THEY ARE PUTTING OUT THERE? OR CAN'T SOMEONE IN CHARGE OF SAFETY AND WELLBEING SEE HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF POSTS THERE ARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? MY HUSBAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY MAN, I'M NOT SURE I'M WITH HIM ONE THIS ONE! WHY WOULD A COMPANY WITH SUCH A GREAT REPUTATION CHANCE THROWING IT DOWN THE CRAPPER! COME ON CHEVY STAND BEHIND WHAT YOU'RE SELLING AND MAKE IT RIGHT! *TR |
| 2011 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | WHEN VEHICLE WAS PULLED INTO OUR GARAGE, A STRONG SMELL OF GAS WAS NOTICED. STILL UNDER WARRANTY THE FUEL LINE WAS REPLACED BY OUR DEALER. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 18700 MILES. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2011. THE VEHICLE GETS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE EVERY NIGHT. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT A VEHICLE WITH SO LITTLE MILEAGE AND AT SO YOUNG AN AGE COULD HAVE SUCH A SERIOUS CORROSION PROBLEM. *TR |
