THE CAR ACTS SLUGGISH AND ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL AFTER YOU SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT ALSO HAS TRIED TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING THREE TIMES WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL WITH OTHER THAN SLIGHT PRESSURE. AT LOW SPEEDS THE STEERING GOES A LITTLE CRAZY SO THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE CAR VERY WELL. I DID SEND A SIMILAR COMPLAINT TO CHEVROLET CORPORATION BACK IN APPROXIMATELY MARCH THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I DID LET THEM KNOW THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE SOLD. MY SON HAD THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN ON MAY 4, 2014 WHEN HE HAD STOPPED TO GET GAS. HE WAS PULLING AWAY FROM PUMPS AND THE CAR KEPT GOING RIGHT INTO CURB BECAUSE IT WAS TRYING TO STALL OUT. I WILL BE SUBMITTING SAME INFORMATION AGAIN TO CHEVROLET CORPORATION THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE. *TR

pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
