A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I found my car on the internet, called the dealer in North Carolina, liked what I heard and proceeded to have the car transported to my home in Las Vegas, Nevada. The car was owned by a women who in 14 years put low mileage on it. I received a car fax that showed no major repairs or problems. Not long after me putting my own miles on the car, a bell sound would go off when going into first or second gear. If you started out a little faster from the start, the steering would lockup for a few seconds, which I found very scary. I love to do highway drives and go the top speed, and no way was I ever going to do that now in this car for fear of a accident or possibly death.
A second symptom started which made the steering wheel shake and then came the bell sound again and total loss of steering which is extremely hard to make turns to the point where in order to drive, you need to go faster just to be able to make turns, very dangerous. I have already had to go to a doctor due to destroying the muscle in my right arm, very painful. I have already called Chevy, but they will not do anything. I also filled a compliant with NHTSA,1-15-2022, but have not heard anything. I will proceed with any and all ways to have chevy pay all repair costs, I am a senior on social security and there's no way could I afford that bill.
I must add that I was told by Chevy the car was repaired due to the recall 11-2014 at mileage 34,861. The car had 44,577 miles when I purchased it, but that repair did not last too long, with not even 10,000 miles on their recall parts. I do have a service order from the dealership I use stating that something could be wrong with the steering due to me at my first time taking the car for oil change. I hope someone will be able to help me with this ongoing problem, the car was recalled around 8 years ago and I am sure Chevy will be jerks. They were not very helpful already, and it makes me not want to ever buy a Chevy product again.
