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.

The vehicle's engine died when idling at stop light. It restarted and died immediately and the oil light came on. Oil blew out the exhaust pipe and covered the back of the vehicle. The rest of the oil drained onto the street below the vehicle.
