It is just a pain in the a___! I live in Georgia it is required that you get a emission test done before you get tour new 2010 sticker. Now my car is not legal because I can not get it fixed. Because once again I have chosen a vehicle that needs that year, that part. which means every part cost over $100.00 dollars or you can only get it from the dealer. I'm a single Mom making minimum wage and scraping to pay for everything my house, food, clothes for my 7yr. old daughter. And now worrying about getting pulled over, like I need another Bill to pay.

Engine lite continues to come on -- seemingly at random. I've had it put on a computer for checks, can't seem to locate any problems. Drives me crazy. When something is truely wrong and the lite goes on, I won't believe it.

First a high pitched noise coming from the engine. This was covered under my warranty around October. Brought to dealership and got it repaired. Then about a month after my warranty expired, the check engine light goes on. Then about a week after that my speedometer goes crazy. Then after that my gas meter shows empty when I just filled up the day before. I spoke with a mechanic and he said that this was a common problem for this truck. I cant afford to pay to have all these problems fixed. Is there a good attorney out there that can get this truck recalled? I told myself and others to support America by buying American but if this is the type of so called "quality product" were getting, we might as well buy import cars. .

Ceck engine light has been on and off for last year. Had it recheck again the other day, and the computer reported 4 different problems. The guy at the autoparts store was stunned. I rechecked all wires and harnesses, had it reset and well see what the F!@# happens next!!!

Where do I start, my speedometer gets stuck on a number, and the car feels like there is great resistance, and this will go on for a couple of miles, then the speedometer will drop all the way down past zero. Also it feels like it doesn't want to change into second gear, and it will start to accelerates, then jump froward like a big burst of energy all of a sudden. I've taken it to 4 different well known shops in Anchorage, and they put it on the diagnostic machine, and get 3 codes back, but they say that they can't fix it. What that means, I don't know. My gas seems to disappear a lot faster too. They need to recall this I spent $22,000 damn dollars on a new piece of crap, and I love Chevy but this is bull sh*t. And my car only has 53000 miles, they don't make them like they used to. Computers always break down, so why would you make cars all computer generated, it's all about money, and I don't think I'm wasting any more of my hard earned money on Chevy. I'm only 21 and now I'm stuck with this stupid car that I still owe $19000. GREAT
