In both failures the service support was not in excisting, or very insulting, both problems have injury or death possibilitys, rotor warranty only 12.000 miles, but the problem is a defect which is in all models starting in 1998 till now.it is not acceptable, every 7000 miles new rotors or die?? engine losing power at high speed and grouded freeway, no power steering or brakes, no warning. Dealer tells me there are no codes and it runs well, after dealer told wife to remove vehicle,18 miles later, car is stuck again, Chevrolet assistant service said perhaps wife can push the car to the right.must we tolerate this, and a sales person knows about the bullitins, and will say that there is no rotor problem, brand new vehicle, never miss work, losing job, home and wife because of no error codes.so much for empty promises.service manager dont care if you die or live, dealer has his 22.000.00 and tells you to remove your junk.Chevy image is clouded and not honest.

Engine kept knocking and the first dealer said they didn't have time to look at it, they put a new engine in but still having problems, the brakes have been replaced (rotors and pads) 2 times and still are not right, the car would not go from park to reverse on 2 occasions, I have had lights not working, door latches broken.
