Problem first presented as Propulsion Reduced error message (no engine light showed up), the generator? started to roar and the car slowed down. I pulled over, waited about 5 minutes for it to stop roaring and then I was able to continue on the road. The same problem happened again two days later. It happened both times after the battery had been depleted and I was running on gas. We took the car to the dealer. Tech had to communicate with Chevy engineer for about a week. Car was returned to us. Drove it for about a week and it happened again. Took back to dealer. Communicated again with Chevy engineer. Chevy decided our battery was bad and needs a new one. The car still takes a full charge and is driving in town just fine, however we no longer use it for my commute to work (140 miles round trip) in the hopes that it will last longer. We still owe money on the car. We've charged it twice a day 5 days a week for the last 5 years. The blue book value of the car is only around $6000.00, not worth the $10,000.00 for a new battery. Really, really, really disappointed considering the price we paid for the car. We were very happy with it before this happened. We were getting over 100 miles to the gallon with it and it rides beautifully!
