| I have had the brakes and rotors replaced twice since buying the car in april of 2001. i took the car to jim butler chevrolet for the turn signal/flasher problem which was later recalled and i was reimbursed. i took it to don darr chevy which fixed a faulty switch operating the air conditioner/switching to outside air. i had the car towed to dobbs when it would not start, they said it was the fuel pump and assembly module. today,jim butler chevrolet replaced the lock cylinder and ignition switch because of the theft system light and the car not starting.but was unable to find the cause of the daytime running lights not working. oh! but they noticed a recall on the hazard lights and replaced it. they were the one who replaced it the first time. i also told them of the over crank/grinding noise after the car is started, happens occasionally. they could not duplicate, so no repair. i am not happy with this car or chevy because of all the problems and the expense it has caused and cost me. i used to hold chevrolet in high regard, but can no longer recommend anyone owning one.*ak | |||

| While pulling into a parking spot in a hospital parking structure the gas throttle got stuck and i hit a brick wall approximately 10-15 miles in hour. i was only approximately 10 feet from the wall so it was a hard impact. the airbags inflated in i had minor damages to my face as a result of the crash. at the time of the crash i had my foot on the brake and i was approximately going 2-3 miles in hour because i was in the process of parking the vehicle. the car is completely totaled and my husband and i are now in the deficit of $4,000 after the insurance payoff.*ak | |||
