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.
Reocurring electrical problems. The car has not been driven even 100 miles the last year and a half because it wont pass inspection. The emission system has gone out. Since we've had the car we've had to replace the ignition system and the windows kept going off track. As of now the passenger side window will not go up. I cant afford to get it fixed since I was diagnosed with "congestive heart failure" and I'm on permanent disability through social security.
Engine check light keeps coming on & staying on after starting vehicle. Had taken to dealer at least 10 times for problem. Each time mechanic repaired vehicle, but engine check light continues to come on.
Spark plugs and wires replaced numerous times. Engine check light stays on /rough idle at start/alot hard to start, and brakes won't hold in wet conditons.

Have 2 more to burn. Called Chevy, they said the same wires have to burn twice.I saw many complaints about this on NHTSA website. What does it take for a recall. People shouldn't have to pay for same problem.why didn't they change all spark plugs and wires to all cylinders. Have to keep going back. $108.05 for each cylinder.never heard of this problem on any other car. From day 1, car has started hard, nobody can figure out why.this car is not yet 3 years old, I would like to keep it longer, but not with this happening.
When driving at any speed the engine check light came on. Consumer states the vehicle has been in the shop four times, and there is an oil leak. Dealer can't determine what is the problem.
Engine check light comes on, car runs rough, engine speed varies with fast idle, engine stops while car is moving - loss of power steering and brakes, hard to start - takes several tries, random engine surging - 3 near misses - engine will speed up to 3000 RPM without warning.
