| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | THIS CONDITION HAPPENS DURING FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY OR AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A WHILE. WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THE CAR SURGES/JOLTS AT OR NEAR THE SHIFT POINTS. IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF I STARTED MOVING THE VEHICLE IN THE WRONG GEAR, IF IT WERE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION ALSO EXISTS IF YOU START MOVING THE VEHICLE FORWARD AND THEN REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND COAST. THIS VEHICLE IS THE RS MODEL EQUIPED WITH THE 1.4 LITER TURBO. *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 |
