Restarted the car everything worked then power steering light came on took it to machcanic turned the car off to have him check it he pulled it in to the shop and light was not on. So he told me I had to bring it back when light came on in order to run a test. Light never came back on then 5 days ago lost power steering again almost had an accident.

It is unsafe the manufacturer admitted when I took it in for the ignition switch that there were issues with the promlems I have been experiencing but my VIN was only on the ignition recall. They told me the dealer would fix them at my expence. I get 950. Dollars a. Month and have cancer. I have no means to pay for the defects in 2012 my daughter bought me the car and paid 10,000. 00 for it. I have no other means of transportation to my doctors ect. Please help me. While driving at night my head light will dim or one will completely go out. Causing me to almost miss the exit and run off an embankment.
My head lights will not go off unless I unplug my battery, and my signal light won't go off the chavy dealer claims not to know what's going on with it unless I pay them $200 ,first. Its been about 30 days now that this has been going on.

I bought my car new, every since I have had it they have been a problem. First the outside tempture didnt work so I took it back to the same place I bought it from which is a hour drive one way & they said they replaced it. Next the doors started leaking air so I took it back to the same place they took all day but spose to have fixed that problem. Now the rubber seals on both back doors keeps falling off finally fixed them. Total upset because they fixed one thing and messed nother up. I start taking my car to rameys, were they fix the outside temputer which the other placewas spose to fix. At less than 35,000miles the roterhad to be turned. I take it for a oil change explain that the speed and tack hand moves on it own you when the engine is cut off & they said they didn't see it do anything. I take it back to the rameys for the next oil change and at this time the recall had been issued on the steering & I told them that sometimes its difficult to steer & again they say nothing is wrong well as time has gone by it is getting worse. Now the doors are all sticking. I got out of my vechile & noticed my light were still on, they never turned off intil I twisted the nob that worked for a little bit then it got to were they wouldnt even go off if you twisted the nob so my husband took out the fuse out now I dont have anything but bright lights. A few weeks later the signal lights stop make a sound I thought that my bulb was blown so I checked them all & they all worked but the odd thing is sometimes when I am driving they will make the sound. Ater going to rameys& getting the answer nothing wrong, I took it to a privete garage were he thought it was the swich itself, he installed a new one & that didnt solve the problem is board in the fuse box . The speaker on the drivers side dont work either & the trunk slams down when you let go of the trunk door.
