The first time this happened I was driving to work and the fuel injectors were replaced to fix the problem. The next 4 times (all in the same day) I was driving to and from pensacola, Florida on interstate 110 and highway 98 and the gas filter and spark plugs were changed. These incidents were in the spring 2003. The dealer informed me in April 2003 that the spark plugs were the problem and they fixed it and said we should be fine. The most recent episode was on highway 20 in niceville, Florida. I was driving with my wife and newborn when the car stopped accelerating again and thankfully I was able to pull to the side of the road without getting hit. Car stopped accelerating with no warning and was stranded on the interstate and busy highway. Most recently the problem cannot be fixed. This car is only 4 years old and I bought it new with keeping the maintence up. As of now the car cannot be started and they have no clue as to what the problem is. I am concerned as this could have happened while on the interstate where I could not get to the shoulder or on the local mile long bridge where there is no place to pull over to. I am just glad my wife and child were not injured this time.

Brakes vibrate when stopping from any speed. Was told by dealer that was common with ABS. Brakes wear poorly, have had to replace brakes 2X since purchase. Engine stutters when car first started or while standing. Key hot out of ignition, was told recent recall affecting ignition relay would fix, did not. Check engine service and ABS lights coming on and staying on. Car has only 32,000 miles.

Timing chain loose/tensioner wearing out. First happened around 60,000 miles, at this time the chain, tensioner, and gears were changed. Worked fine for a week and a half, then slowly started to rattle again until the noise was worse than before it was fixed. Brought to Chevy dealership, car stayed there for 5 days, said they couldn't find anything wrong, charged me $250 for diagnostic labor and told me it was a normal noise. Then I called GM customer service, the woman I spoke to was all ready to help me out until she spoke with the dealership then came back on the line with me and just agreed with what they said about it being a "normal" noise. Then brought it to another Chevy dealership, service manager listened and said it was definitely not a normal noise, agreed it was coming from the timing cover area, called back customer service, said I'd have to pay for another diagnosis before they could even tell me if they would assist me in getting it fixed. I'm finished with it, I've spent over $1000 on this car in the last 2 months and it's still not fixed, plus I'm out $250 for a dealership telling me there's nothing wrong. This dealership was not the one I purchased the car from.....the original dealer messed up my rotors at 10,000 miles and were very rude about it so I vowed never to go there again.....now I've been burned by two dealerships...
