I was driving down the street, normal speed and the car was stalling ( like a putt putt). i took the car in to chevy, they had it for a couple of days and stated they could not figure out what was wrong with it. i picked the car up and about 15 miles out, i put the car in reverse and it cut off. i then put the car in park, it cut off, i did that about 5 times. i called to have them tow it. the dealership stated it cut off on them the next day but after 65 days and less than 200 miles later they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. they returned the car to me and a week later 10/15/2019 its back to the putt putt.
I was sitting in the vehicle parked waiting for the rain to pass. front window was cracked. when i heard a loud bang. turned around the back window on the driver side had shattered. this is the 3rd time one of my windows on this car has just shattered. nothing was thrown into the car no vehicles had driven by.
I have had this happen twice with my vehicle and i notified the dealer of this and nothing was done. twice now i have been driving on a highway going at a speed no more than 60 began to accelerate and had the rpm shoot up to 8 and the mph shoot down to almost zero. i do a slight acceleration and the car comes almost to a complete stop like the engine cut out. the first time i didn't really worry about it but it has happened twice now and could cause a very serious accident. the car also begins to shake after about 30 minutes of being on this happens when i'm driving and while sitting in the car while it's in park.
The first time it happened, i was entering the highway, trying to merge with traffic. as i accelerated, my engine revved, but did not shift gears (as i was merging with traffic who were traveling at speeds of 60 mph and higher), lurched and dropped down to 20 mph (somehow didn't get rear-ended). in a 6 month span, this has happened 3x. the 3rd time was on a stretch of road where i was traveling about 45 mph coming up on a car in the left-hand lane (on a 2 lane street) making a left-hand turn. needed to switch lanes to go around. increased speed, car hesitated, revved, lurched, and never really switched gears. somehow made it without getting rear-ended. took car to dealership. dealership said computer in car didn't register any of those incidents, so in essence they can't find anything wrong with it. i feel like i'm driving a ticking time bomb. waiting for it to just stop or decelerate while entering the highway and get me killed. hoping that my children aren't in the car should that ever happen.
I scraped my passenger side rear view mirror and it completely shattered. i have been trying to get the part replaced since february 13, 2018. i had been told that it needed to be special ordered because parts were not available for my vehicle anywhere in the us. i was told yesterday that the part is on back order with no date of availability. even with the side mirror the car has dangerous "blind" spots and without the mirror it is very unsafe to drive. i now find myself locked in a lease on a vehicle that cannot be repaired to a safe driving condition.
They designed a pressure valve underneath the rear bumper fascia with a hole large enough for rodents and small animals to have access to the cabin of the car without destroying any part of the car to gain access. it is essentially an open door for squirrels, mice, rats to use then nest in the car unbeknownst to the owner. it comes with the danger of a rodent popping out while driving or spreading diease throughout the cabin of the car via the air ducts. i feel the cabin of the car should be a sealed unit. the only way i feel this should be deemed an environmental issue is in the case of an animal destroying a part in order to gain access to the cabin of the car. in this instance there is no damage in order to gain access the cabin and it is the same as leaving a car door open 24/7 hoping nothing bad happens. i have reported this to general motors and no one seems to understand the frustration i am having.
I purchased my vehicle on november 22, 2017. i was in an accident on december 14, 2017 where i hit a dog and my car caught fire. the fire department and police didn't believe that i hit a dog and it caused this damage. i contacted gm to see if they would investigate but they told me they would not investigate unless my insurance contacted them and they also told me to read my manual on seatbelts when i let them know the airbags did not deploy. i believe whole heartedly that this car is unsafe if it caught on fire from hitting a dog and they dog was not large at all. please be careful id considering this vehicle
This car is been having problems since months of me buying it frustrated just beacause have to be alot in the dealer and long hours waiting
