Gm district specialist is working with me to try to get this car up to par, but so far he is not able to get the car back on the road for me. . Never been in a accident and always maintained, car is in beautiful condition outside but I think I got a lemon. Still owe $5000 of the 25,000 price. Recurring steering problems and motor mounts and axel and steering column, and head gasket. Can you help me get to the bottom of this, I have now been without a car for 2 months while 3 different dealerships have diagnosed a variety of major problems. I am a senior citizen, just retired, need my car for doctor app'ts as well as in general, I am very upset, warranty ran out at 3 years, my original dealership went under when Chevrolet had problems. I've been treated very poorly by gm's dealerships who don't want to handle an out of business dealerships problems. I have complete notes on dates, names (however it's gm's policy not to give last names), I believe these are all manufacturer defects and don't trust the car anymore. I've put major money into repairs to date and now gm wants to only cover 50% of this latest head gasket problem, that doesn't include the other problems. I think they should admit manufacturer defects and buy back my car, pay off the remainder of the loan and then I can buy a car that will keep me and my family safe. Failure mileage was 55,000.
