| Recently, i filled my gas tank & low fuel light warning displayed and low fuel light came on. since then the check engine light is on steady (not blinking) most of the time. the fuel gauge floats back and forth never really letting you know it's true status. the dealers and public know about this issue- yet chevy refuses to take responsibility and fix the product. it is frustrating & nerve wracking to never know how much fuel you have at any given time, as well as the constant warning lights/ chimes during driving. this is the second serious issue i have had with this vehicle- just a month before had to repair safety issue of stabilitrak turning on at random, after twice it slowed my vehicle- without warning- on the thruway from 55 mph to about 20 mph. i had documentation of 4 trips to dealer for this concern within the first year of ownership but the computer doesn't show a problem so 5 years later i finally had the code show up after a close call almost accident. this concern is all over the internet as well & even with contacting chevrolet & the nys attorney general they still only covered half the cost of the repair. chevrolet needs to take responsibility for the safety of their products and obviously will not unless recalls are mandated- i urge you to do just that. thank you *tr | |||

| Driver side speaker intermittently comes on (rarely). driver side window switch intermittently works. it used to intermittently fail, now it rarely works. occasionally, all the driver controls on the dashboard go dead and the radio doesn't work. the lock doesn't work. the abs light and traction control light always illuminate. this intermittent electrical problem has been one big headache and it all seems to point to the drivers side window switch which is under investigation for fires. there is a defect in these window switches and the owners of the vehicles should not be burdened financially because of this. | |||

| Purchased vehicle on 09-08, with roughly 45000, check engine light comes on and off, after several months of going back and forth at chevy dealer they determined it was a faulty cylinder head on the number four cylinder. filed bbc complant and spoke with chevy who refused to do anything. couple months later and approx mileage 60000, the fuel gauge no longer works causing me to run out of gas a couple different times. about the same time, the stability control system dash lights would intermittingly come on and off. i have not contacted chevy about the other two issues as i felt they would not do anything the same as the head problem | |||

| Acs/ service stabilitrak light comes on while driving and to get it to go off i have to stop and turn the vehicle off and back on again. also fuel gauge goes from full to empty even on a full tank of gas. when i turn my heat on it will only work on numbers 1-4. number 5 is completely out. also there's a squeak in my brakes that i cant get to go away. i replaced the rotors and brakes and had 2 new front wheel speed sensors put on because i was told that was what was causing the service stabilitrak light to come on. but that didn't fix my problem either. i have been told that because i bought my vehicle used and it had miles on it when purchased that nothing is covered under a warranty. *tr | |||
