1 Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2017

Steering rod issue, steering wheel feels loose while driving especially when on the highway over 50 mph . Several issues with coolant/ car overheating/ overheated and gauge flew rapidly to hot, driving about 40 mph and had to pull over and turn off car - call tow truck. This happened twice, supposedly fixed but still smells of burning oil. Drive side windshield stopped working while driving about 65 mph on busy highway -possible problem with the motor because the other one works fine. All very dangerous issues.

2 Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2015

On 12-5-15 I was on my way to CT from mass and was on 91. About 45 minutes into the trip the car began to loose power and the check engine light came on and the service stablitrack light came on. As soon as the light came on the temperature gauge and rpm gauge would fling up and down quickly! I immediately went from 65 mph to 30 mph. ( I was almost rear ended by a car behind me) I coasted my way to the right lane and was able to get off the exit. The car took about 4 hours to go back to normal. ( I returned to mass, I had to take the back way home and avoid the highway as the car still had reduce speed) the car will return to normal and the check engine light will go off. Everyday now the check engine light will come on and it will say service stablitrack. The car immediately looses power and you can hear the engine (sounds like a fan blowing hard) the transmission will not shift. The rpm will jump to 4-5 while only getting to a speed of 35 mph. The dealer has no idea what I am talking about. This car was bought in January of 2015 and has less than 65,000 miles on it. I have read a few complaints about this similar situation happening to the same car I have. This is a safety issue!!! the car has been serviced on time!!! please help me!! I refuse to take the highway as I never know when this is going to happen. . . . .

3 Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2015

When the cabin heating system is activated in cool/cold weather. (the temp setting indicator to max heat and the car engine is at the normal operating range). There is a burnt rubber smell or exhaust smell that comes out of the ventilation system. The dealer has been unable to find the cause. The smell will go away if the temp setting is reduce to the cold side of the scale (ie the blue line and not the red line). I have read of other complaints about this same issue but did not find it on this site. In the worst case this may be CO leaking into the cabin or it could be related to some rubber like component off-gasing because of the hot air. This happens when the car is moving or standing still, but the engine must be in the normal operating temp range as shown on the temp gauge. This has occur every year since I bought the car.

4 Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2013

Problem started close to winter,October 2013. Coolant level slowly decreased, not concerned at the time, just topped off during oil changes. Fast forward to April 2014, refill of coolant needed daily if heat is used. Coolant tank is completely empty after car is off and sitting for a few hours! large puddle of coolant under engine, not the radiator. Remains to be a slow leak. When heat is on, coolant begins to slowly leak underneath engine. Temp gauge is always normal. No signs of overheating, no excess coolant in engine bay. All routine maintenance completed by Chevrolet dealerships. Dex (gm specific coolant, orange in color) coolant used exclusively. Every time heat is turn on, at any temp, at any fan speed, at any setting (defrost, floor, etc. ) there is a strong odor of burning/hot coolant. I am unable to put my children in vehicle!, when heat is needed in vehicle. Odor is too strong and children complained of nausea and lightheadedness. To many instances similar to this listed. Gm needs to provide resolution.
