Have had many of the problems I read on posted complaints: New engine required within nine months-one year of owning new vehicle, inside driver door panel replaced three times, change oil and service engine lights staying on, hood not closing properly, back glass needing replacement, fabric problems in back seat, etc., etc. And this morning it is a $200 problem with the headlight switch. Too many things to even remember or name, but Chevy has a pretty thick file on me and my vehicle.

Consumer stated that without warning the hatchback exploded. Dealer notified. Vehicle was parked in the driveway. Consumer believed it was a design flaw. The arms to open the window forced the glass outward up to 10 feet. If the glass goes, the arms are forced to open like two catapults. Dealer refused to acknowledge the problem and correct it under warranty.
