Vehicle overheated several times and was taken to dealer. Was told nothing wrong. It was taken again for same problem and the mechanic said the A/C compressor was overheating it. It was replaced, but that wasn't the problem because it overheated again. The last time it was taken an oil change was done and checked for overheating problem due to spouse taking sick daughter to see a doctor in los angeles. The dealer said it was fine and okay to take to los angeles. The vehicle overheated during the trip and the A/C was not used once due to cold weather. The vehicle was taken to Chevrolet dealer in los angeles. The mechanic said the oil was contaminated with coolant and the dealer in las vegas should have noticed it. The head gasket and other related parts and fluids were replaced at my expense $1790. I complained to the manufacturer and first they offered $200+. I said not enough, so they offered $400. I said it didn't even cover the A/C compressor that was good and not the problem, not to mention the money I spent on car rentals when my car was waiting to be seen by a mechanic. It was negligence on the las vegas dealer that my daughter had to suffer in pain on the side of the highway. As for the power steering pump and hose. I beleive they broke something when trying to repair the overheating problem. The power door lock never really worked since I got the vehicle and the radio always got very hot which could lead to an electrical fire. I beleive this vehicle should have a recall on the engine and electrical system especially when I was shocked that other owners had the same problems.
