About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle runs rough due to fuel injection failure. When car is idlling gas is spilled through engine, and causes gas to go into oil, which could result in an engine fire.
The speed ometer works intermittenly and the windshield wipers also work intermittenly. Sometimes the car stalls, or will not start and when taken to a dealer they came nothing is wrong. It also will sometimes run rough and will have a service engine soon light come on. I did receive a letter from Chevrolet regarding some of these problems, but I was told my car did not qualify for a recall repair because there was nothing wrong.

Fuel injector plugs up and fails. It runs very rough. Nothing can prevent problem per dealer service techs. I was told it was due to poor design. It has occurred twice now. The first covered under warranty. The second was not and chev Corp refused to cover second replacement. Loop hole in warranty. This problem occurs about every 40,000 to 45,000 miles. I was told the service department is starting to see alot of this lately. Windshield wipers- they were working intermittently. The first time they went out it was on the freeway in a heavy storm. The dealer could not find a problem. It did not fail in their shop. It took two shops before they found the problem. It was some typr of loose electrical wiring. Not covered by dealer due to me being over mileage.
