Same as previous complaint...the car has a mind of its own! Cannot tell what the problem is and looking to get it fixed but everyone treats the problem doesnt cure it! Very Expensive!

problem #1

This Car has been a problem since I first purchased it. First the blower motor went. The signal Lights would not work unless the heat or air conditioner were on High Power. I would bring it to the dealership and they would tell me I was crazy and they had no idea what I was talking about. I brought it there 10 times for the same issue, than I went online and found the Recall Info and brought it to the dealership and shoved it in their faces. Than the blower motor went again because I was using it so often to turn on the damn blinkers.
The motor for the mirrors went so now I can not move them unless I get out of the car. My rear lights fill with water. The Theft system light will not go off and at the worst times ever the damn theft system engages and I can not start my car for 35 minutes. Now the check engine light has gone on along with the service vehicle soon light. Everytime I put the car in gear all the electrical goes off and I have no heat no radio no gages including a gas reading and than all the sudden it will all turn on while I am driving. This problem I am going to get fixed in 2 days. This car has been a nightmare.. and these are the few things I actually remember that happened. There has been more issues... I hate this car and I will never Buy a Chevy again so long as i Live no one in my family will either.
