AFTER SMELLING GAS I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. AFTER SMELLING GAS REAL BAD YEARS LATER I BROUGHT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS A COVERED EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM CHEVY. THE DEALER I WENT TO ALSO TOLD ME IT IS DEFINITELY A FREE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED. I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR IF THEY SENT ME A NOTICE. THE DEALER PRINTED A PAPER SHOWING ME IT WAS COVERED WITH NO LIMIT IN MILES OR YEARS. PLEASE HELP.

AIR BAGS | 5/30/2017 - KEARNY, NJ
SIGNAL SHOWING AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICING GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHTS, LOW BEAM (BOTH OF THEM) JUST STOPPED WORKING. NEW BULBS AND NEW FUSES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. NOW, I CAN'T EVEN KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS IN "ON" POSITION. ONLY IF I HOLD THE SWITCH. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR UNDER 3 MONTHS. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I HAVE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY (SOMETIMES). I FIND THAT ODD. MY LARGEST PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT, EVEN IN AN EMERGENCY.

I WAS LOCKED INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. WHILE PRESSING THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE UP/DOWN. IT TOOK ABOUT 30MINUTES BEFORE THE LOCKS OPENED UP AND THAT WAS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE NEVER OPENED. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED/STATIONERY.

POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF AT INTERMITTENT TIMES. THE RPMS GO UP AND DOWN AND CAR SPUTTERS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL. IT ALSO ALMOST DIES AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS.
