I have had my vehicle for 2 years since day 1 I have had issues with the vehicle from control arms, electrical in doors and car systems, throttle body, stability traction control. I think the car has been in the shop well over 12 times with at least 5 times being the throttle body where the car just looses power and your unable to drive more than 40 mph. It generally would happen on the freeway. I would pull over and have to turn my car off and sit and then turn it back on. The above issues with this car is just to name a few. By the way I purchased the vehicle at 27,000 miles so there is no reason why these issues should continuously be happening. I have called chevy numerous of times complaing that this vehicle is something wrong with it. I believe they have just about replaced every part except for the brakes, engine and transmission and I a sure those are going to be next. I could go on and on about this vehicle however, it is definitely something wrong. I just took it in for check engine light again and noise from rear end sounding like a strut. And they found issue with key thob causing check engine light, leaking strut, and bad wheel bearings. Now that just adds more to the list. Not to mention I get home and the check engine light is back on again and the noise is slightly still there. I have plenty of records I just have to much to upload here, but if someone could please look into my situation. This has truly been a nightmare. We cannot even drive the car on the freeway to far because we are scared we may get stuck.
