Backed out of my yard drove two houses down the back lane and the car shuttered and died.Had to have a tow truck tow it to the garage where it cost me 810.36 canadian dollars to fix, not very happy when I see that its a common complaint and GM will do nothing about it. My next car will not be a GM procuct you can count on that.

CAR QUIT RUNNING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON A INTERSTATE , NO WARNING WHATSOEVER , MECHANIC SAYS FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL COST APPROX $700.00, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL AS IT IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

The mechanic told me I should take the fuel pump back to the dealership and show them because it was unacceptable!

Very frustrated at the time but did not pay for it as we PAID for extended warranty.

I was driving to school, when I went to accelerate nothing! All the gages went down, I pulled over and couldn't start the car. By trying my battery ended up dying, and then I had to put more gas in to start the car. Yet my gas gauge said I was at a 3/4 of a tank before my car just died.
the gauge has been really messed up lately....we can't figure out why I fill up to half a tank it either tells me I have more or less. Now, my friend thinks it might be the fuel pump making act like it's about to die then it doesn't. I just know this car has been a headache since I bought it..

I'm very angry about this. Apparently Chevrolet doesn't consider this report and the hundreds or maybe thousands of others reason enough to make a recall. Well I won't ever buy another Chevy.

It was one of the coldest days of the year, out in the middle of nowhere when it happened. The car just stopped. I tried to restart it and it would just sputter for a few seconds then stall.
My friend reached under the car and banged on the gas tank. The car started and stays running as we bang on the tank. As soon as he stops hitting the tank the car stalls.
The new fuel pump was arround $300, I put it in myself.
