Less than 30,000 miles. Persistent problem (since 2012): engine shuts off by itself. No warning lights on dashboard before each occurrence. Car has been taken to the dealer multiple times. On 08/17/2016 around 11:45 a. M. Car shut off by itself while driving on the middle of a multi-lane (6+) highway. I was able to roll down the automatic window (it worked ) on the driver side, I pressed the warning light (it worked). After multiple attempts car started, and I drove away. The car worked well for a while, took side roads(35mph speed limit). Car shut off by itself a second time. I was able to restarted and made it to a safe location. I have reported this last situation to Chevrolet and they told me to go to a different dealer, and only after pressuring they provided a 100. 00 dollar coupon to get the car checked. Chevrolet claims they had no information on my car's record of shutting down by itself, that they dealer only reports the repairs. However, one of the dealer invoices from 2012 reads: "vehicle stalled", " another invoice reads "car died once", etc. And on the notes it includes "unable to replicate clients concerns". Just because the dealer cannot replicate the failure, it does not mean the car is safe to drive. The car is not safe. The car shut down on us and we were left in the middle of a multi-lane highway with cars going 65+mph. The sudden complete shut off of the car in the middle of any road is a great danger not only to the occupants of the car but to other drivers as well. Other problems: clock/time gets restarted each time I start the car (and it is never right). In multiple occasions, during the morning, the car would not start (but radio and windows work), the car would take several minutes to get started.
My light went out for the passenger seat. Some instrument panel lights went out. Started driving sluggish and acting like it wanted to cut off. Took to dealership who at first could not find the problem, kept saying it was blowing up their computers. Later found out that it was the computer control center under the driver seat. Gm should not have put the control box under the driver seat and I should not have had to pay $1400 to have it fixed. The car was only 2 years old then. The complete car was taken apart and apparently was not put back together correctly because my radio speakers do not work properly now. I will never buy another gm product.
