POWER STEERING WAS LOST, STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON - WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO EROSION - HAD REPAIRED AT MY COST - EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER AS TECHICIAN STATED MY FAULT ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY THIS AREA IS NOT VISIBLE DURING NORMAL SERVICE. NOW THE CAR TWICE HAS NOT STARTED AT ALL - ALL ELECTRONIC SENSORS GO DEAD. HAVE TAKEN TO CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINED WHAT IS WRONG. AT LEAST EVERY OTHER TIME I TURN ON CAR, THE STABILITY LIGHT OR STEERING LIGHT COME ON, AS WELL AS THE PARK ASSIST LIGHT. I WAIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO, TRY AGAIN, AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT GO OFF. 2 - THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF DURING THE FIRST MONTH I PURCHASED, SO IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY "RE-GLUED) IT SEVERAL TIMES - FINALLY IT WAS RECALLED, AND REPLACED ABOUT 15 MONTHS AGO, NOW THE MIRROR IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. 3- LAST IS THE PILLAR TRIM - IT PEELED AND I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED AT MY COST - THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. I FEAR I HAVE A LEMON, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I AM NOT RECEIVING THE SERVICE NECESSARY FROM CHEVROLET DEALER - I HAVE MAINTAINED THE SERVICE ON MY CAR THROUGH THE DEALER, BUT SO MANY UNANSWERED CONCERNS LEAVES ME AT RISK FOR ACCIDENT SHOULD CAR JUST STOP!
