| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN I AM DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND AM BEHIND A CAR THAT IS TURNING I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I GIVE IT GAS AT AROUND 2K RPM. THE CAR HAS SOME HESITATION LIKE IT CANT FIND A GEAR TO BE IN. IT HAS DONE IT SEANCE ABOUT 100 MILES. HAS 7000 MILES ON IT NOW. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION TRYING TO FIND ITS SHIFT POINTS AS YOU BREAK IT IN AT 1000 MILES.(BERGER CHEVY) ALSO WHEN IN GARAGE AND START CAR IT SOUNDS FINE. BUT ONCE I PUT IT IN REV. I HEAR LOST LOT PINGS COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. STARTED AFTER DEER CRASH. TOOK TO BERGER CHEVY WHERE CAR WAS BOUGHT. THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT JUST BODY DAMAGE. HOOD, FRONT END, AND PASSAGE SIDE ALL REPLACE. WITH 600 MILES ON CAR. *TR |
| 2013 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE FOUND THE SWITCH BLADE KEY USED BY MANY CHEVROLET PRODUCTS HAS A TENDENCY TO OPERATE WHEN THE KEY IS PUT IN YOUR PANTS POCKET. ON MANY OCCASIONS I HAVE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THE DOORS OR RELEASED THE TRUNK LATCH SIMPLY BY SITTING DOWN OR WALKING DOWN THE STEPS.THIS IS A MINOR PROBLEM UNTIL YOU REALIZE THERE IS AN AUTO START FEATURE ON THIS KEY AND I WORRY THAT I COULD ACCIDENTALLY START THE CAR BY SITTING IN MY LAZYBOY WITH THE KEY IN MY POCKET. THE RESULTS COULD BE DEATH DUE TO CARBON MONOXIDE WITH THE GARAGE BEING UNDER THE BEDROOMS.THE BUTTONS ARE NOT RECESSED AND ARE EASILY ACTIVATED BY RUBBING ON YOUR LEG. I HAVE HAD A SIMILAR KEY FOB FROM FORD FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR |
