This vehicle has had several problems I'll try to list.the airbags did not deploy they had been replaced when they fixed the horn problems.completely dissatisfied with my vehicle.I'm not sure if vehicle will be totaled since the accident was 9/6/01. I believe at the very least the airbags should have deployed.I don't know who to complain to.I've replaced rear brakes and rotors, altenator, water pump, battery, horn contact replaced twice at same time had to replace air bag due to sensor behind airbag, interior door panel replaced bracket broken, oil light continued to come on often even though service dealer could not dulpicate, air conditioner not blowing hard secured blower and blower resister wiring another time had to replaced A/C control unit, engine leaking oil around intake replaced intake gaskets, rear seat sqeaked w/ passengers service shop had attempted to fix but was unsuccessful, so as you can tell many problems!!! makes me think twice before buying a Chevrolet product again.thank you

Vehicle purchased in May 1999, has been in the shop 16 times for repairs, including inoperable horn, warped rotors, turned once, resurfaced once and finally replaced, interior vinyl peeling, replaced once and is occuring again, windows stuck in down position, current work order to have windows checked, break pedal making a "creaking" noise when depressed, recently repaird with at least 4-5 visits to the dealer with no successful repair of problem, defective motor on the heater, making strange noise, air conditioning is now starting to "smell" vehicle rolls when put in park, notified factory and have current file number, factory informed me that if it's still under warranty and in need of repair to bring it in...there is nothing else we (the factory) can do...I believe too numerous repairs in an 11 month period..still have outstanding work orders for needed future repairs.
