Bought used in August from a Toyota dealer. Car was making a chirping noise and the ac did not work. Dealer. Fixed ac and sent to chevy to repair chirping noise. . Then the heat stopped working and there was no coolant. . They fixed some bracket or other. . Now the gear shift button gets stuck pushed in,, and you cannot disengage to put the car in park to remove the key. . I googled this issue and found a lot of complaints about it. The dealer has already told my 19 year old they will not cover any more repairs. But this car is a piece of junk and they should not be on the road anymore. I should never have let her finance it. Now I don't know what to do.
The vehicle has previously had the coolant reservoir and water outlet changed not very long ago. Not I am having the same issue with both of the parts again. Reservoir is cracked making coolant leak out and the water outlet is braking apart because it is plastic.
Problem #1 got the car in 2016, after about a year the shifting sticks button got stuck and broke. Prevented me from changing gears or getting out of park. Had to call for it to be towed and buy a new stuck from dealership. Problem #2 began getting a check engine light about a few months after purchasing car in 2016 due to engine misfire, found out in 2020 this was due to the air vent tube under the hood being cracked. Both these issues are common with many consumers I have read.
Has happened off & on since I bought car October 2014. While at a complete stop car will rock back and forth as if the brake pedal isn't pushed down all the way & the car isn't sure if it is to be driving forward slightly or stopped. Even with me pushing the brake pedal all the way down to floor, car still rocks back & forth. If at stop light while doing this issue & light turns green for me to drive ahead car will not move till done having its rocking back & forth fit. It only lasts 15-20 seconds but can not drive forward while car is having fit. Is this the computer/stabilatrack not communicating properly?.
