    After leaving the dealership to have them put on the plate, the check engine light came on. I drove it to a secure location so i could get someone to follow me back to the dealership for service. The car did not have full power. When i went to pull out of the secure location , i took my foot off the brake and the car stopped. I decided to have the car towed, the car had only 45 miles on it. I picked up the car from…

    The turbo cooler tube pops off when you accelerate. This causes the check engine light to come on and the vehicle to go into engine reduce power mode. Vehicle max speed will then be set to 55 miles an hour. Engine and engine compartment gets hot due to no proper cooling. I went to chevy dealer and they stated this is starting to become a known issue with no fix. Chevy snapped the tube back into place, but it popped…

    Car would start bucking, stuttering and jerking. This occurred three times. A/c compressor froze, had to be rebuilt. Almost got rear ended twice. The dealer could find no problem on the last two times. This happened on city streets while in motion and from a stop.

    There is a major hose problem with this vehicle. While driving, a hose came loose on two different occasions that caused a warning message on the dash that said "engine power is reduced" and the vehicle would not go above 40 mph. This is extremely dangerous and i was just informed this is now happening all over the country and chevy will be issuing a recall.

The vehicle immediately loss engine power and began 'sputtering.' the reduces engine power warning came on and the check engine light. I was able to safely make it off the interstate before the car completely stalled/quit. I have to have the vehicle towed and pushed into the service bay. I was told the intake valve was damaged and came loose. This…

    The auto stop engine feature has no control device to disable the feature. Auto engine stop causes the vehicle to lurch forward when restarting from the auto stop condition at traffic lights. I have also experienced hesitation of the restart condition when making a left turn at a busy interesection causing myself slight panic when trying to accelerate to complete the turn with oncoming traffic approaching. Very…

    The engine "auto stop" feature can have enough of a delay to allow the accelerator to be pressed as the engine starts causing it to lurch forward rather than accelerate smoothly. It also can cause a delay when pulling out into heavy traffic. There is currently no way to temporarily or permanently defeat the system on this gm model according to gm service department. Though i am sure it is operating as designed for…

    I am unable to gauge the time needed for the car to restart after "autostop" shuts the motor at a hard stop. This is dangerous for all drivers as even when lifting my foot from the brake the car does not move as it should in "drive." instead, placing my foot on the gas pedal is required. This causes unexpected delays in beginning to drive that could have severe and long lasting consequences. I do not at all feel…

    The auto stop is a hazard. When pulling into traffic the car doesn't get to speed quick enough.
