Complaint 1: hood latch problem!!! this is the same problem gm vehicles have been having for at least 25 years!!!!! the hood will not release unless you pull the release lever and pound on the hood. You would think they would borrow or use fords system of better parts!!!!-----complaint 2: the door panels have a weak area where the knee comes into contact with it on turns, mine cracked real bad!!! complaint 3: main complaint:--the heater core started leaking and fogged my windshield up so bad I had to pull over to the side of the road. Could have caused a bad accident!!! I was in heavy traffic on hwy. 69 at mcalester ok. And had to pull off and wound up cutting the hoses and splicing to keep from running into heater core, this was on labor day 2003. I need to know if this is a problem the carmaker will correct for me for free. I know that heater cores should last at least 10 years if not more. This caused me a lot of problems!!!! I checked into a new heater core at 2 auto parts stores, auto-zone and o'reilley's and they both said it was unavailable . ????? please help me with this. Thank you, reggie holland.

The hood of the vehicle unlatched and flew back onto the windshield of the vehicle. There is damage to the hood, windshield and roof of the vehicle. I was traveling at 40mph. At the time, and I had just finished a trip of 130 miles at an average speed of 70-75mph. Work had not been performed on the vehicle for that day.

The handle controlling the recline function on both driver and passenger seats has broken. The driver side was replaced once while under warranty, both seats are now in an upright position. Around April, 2003, the hood latch broke and it takes forever to maneuver to get the hood up to check the oil.

While driving about 55 mph all of a sudden the hood flew up and dropped back down. This could have caused driver to crash. Day before this happened, owner could not get hood to open. Incident was reported to Chevrolet's customer service. Plesae provide any further information.

Failure of the hood latch assembly, while drving the hood flew up.
