AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE FOR MY NEPHEW, WITHIN 2 DAYS WE NOTICED THE CAR WOULDN'T START ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNLESS WE CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO A REPUTABLE AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MAINLY BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD START EVERY TIME THEY PUT THE KEY IN. WE PICKED THE CAR UP AND TOOK IT HOME, AND AS SOON AS MY NEPHEW TRIED TO START THE CAR ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER THE CAR WOULDN'T START. AGAIN WE HAD TO CALL FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THIS HAS BEEN A PAIN IN THE ASS. I'M HOPING GM HAS RECALLED THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THIS WEB SITE, IF THE CAR DOESN'T START WAIT 3 MINUTES AND IT SHOULD START. THAT ADVICE CAME FROM CHEVROLET.
