Sell your car Chevrolet is a joke! I swear on my life if Chevrolet offered me a brand new car for free I would tell them to keep it! 1st I wouldn't sell it and let someone else have the problems that we've had. 2nd wouldn't risk my families life riding in it if we kept it! This is no joke people, please if you value your and your families life don't buy a Chevrolet!

electrical fire

While I was out of the vehicle the alarm kept sounding, within a few minutes returned to my vehicle and the doors would not open, they kept locking and alarm kept sounding. when I did get the door open it was full of smoke. Took my children away from the vehicle, a bystander used extinguisher to put out the fire. It looks as though the fire started in or near the airbag sensor or wiring harness. If anyone has the same experience please post here.
