I took my car into freeland Chevrolet for the recall my car was running great,when I picked it up it was idling rough and smoking on my way home it was stalling out at every stop causing me to loose control of power steering and braking creating a safty haszard called them the next day and told them about it which they already knew because the manager was outside when I started it up. They said it was thowing 11codes when I brought it in saying that was the problem,which I could not have drove it their in that condition and never would. Got in touch with corp office. In the mean time I had it towed back to them on dec1,,,. Because its undrivable. Then on dec11 got a call from corporate say I had to pay 253. 00 for a diagnostic also they told them it was throwing 21 codes when I brought it in. Whats the truth? they endangerd many lives by letting me drive that car off the lot. That tells me they have no regard for the safety of the public. My car is still there.
