What owners wrote
The brakes have been resurfaced once. The pads have been replaced 3 times and the rotors replaced twice. I have had the car in for the final repair attempt on the brakes. They say there is nothing wrong with them. While the car was in the shop for this, the driver's power window went out. Three people in the service dept. Tried to get it to work. I had to leave the car another day. When I went to pick it up, I was told there was nothing wrong with the window and it is now working.
The intake manifold has been replaced 2 times on this car. We are still having engine cooling problems. It is in the shop as we speak. Now they are looking at the head gaskets due to coolant leaking into the overflow. There has been numerous complaints I have found in regards to this model. Why isn't anyone contacting the chevy to get this design flaw corrected and compensation for the affected consumers who were unfortunate enough to buy this particular model?
