About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The vehicle idle control began misbehaving, whether stationary or in motion. The car constantly idled higher than it should, even after a throttle body replacement and fuel pump replacement. Now the car is riding worse than ever, with a lot of vibration in the steering column/brakes, which happens sitting still and worsens as the speed climbs. The windshield washer pumps (front and back) have both gone out. The suspension is horrible and despite new tires, balancing, rotation, alignments...brakes/rotors, you name it... the car just doesn't drive very smoothly. Now the engine is knocking and the timing chain sounds like it is in need of replacement. I doubt I will ever buy another Chevy, despite being loyal to the brand and only purchasing Chevy. Highly disappointed in their craftsmanship, if you can call it that.

In January 2020 I took the car into the shop after hearing noise from the engine. I had to have the timing chain replaced, but as they looked it over they said the engine needed replaced, due to oil leaking. A couple weeks before it was very cold close to 4 degrees and while I was driving into work at 6am I heard a loud sound while at a red light, it sounded like a gun shot. I assumed it was coming from a nearby neighborhood. But to find out my mechanic said that was the engine frozen and popped. He said when its cold that happens to this engine. Unreal! two weeks ago, my car started to smell like it was burning and gas. So I took it in and they replaced the cat converter, exhaust manifold, and leaking seal. Last week, I went to unlock the doors with the remote the rear wiper fluid motor started and ran continuously, to the point it doesn't work at all now. Now this week my trunk will not open, both front head lights burnt out, my traction control keeps turning on/off, my speakers are popping, radio is cutting in/out. I bought this car from the dealer in 2014 with 12K miles on it, always serviced the vehicle, changed the oil regularly, inspected yearly, preventive maintenance every 6 months. Now have 83K miles and I need this car to last me two more years.

There is no temperature variance for the dash defroster (only on defrost setting). It is either extremely cold or extremely hot. Maita Chevrolet in elk grove is claiming "that's the way it was designed" their logic is off, nor have I found any evidence of that statement to be true.
