I bought this car used 2 years ago. A month after having it, the check engine light came on Code P305F, U0401-71. It would'nt pass emissions here in Georgia. I changed both batteries, the codes would not clear. I took it back to the Car Lot where I bought it from. They had a "mechanic" look at it and fixed the problem and did the emissions (10/2024). The light came back on not 500 feet from the car lot. On April 10, 2025 the car cut off on the expressway. More codes, this time for the 02 sensors (top and bottom) and the spark plugs. Changed them and the car hesitated to move. I had it towed back to the Dealer. They said it needed a new engine, which they (Antep Auto Sales) have charged me 1300.00 for. Yesterday 04/27/2025 the check engine light came back on with codes P305F, U0401-71, C0800-03 and U0422-71. I removed the oil cap, its the same engine I already had, a new one was not installed. I owe another year on this car and my emissions is due in August. I am so frustrated with this car. I've never owned a Chevy before and I never will again.
