Vehicle gear shifter is stiff and difficult to pass from Park to Drive--the gear shifter gets stuck in Neutral often. The Entire Dash and instrument cluster goes black during driving and will not come back on until hours later even after the vehicle has been turned off and back on. This has caused me to be unable to see my speed, turn signals, fuel gauges or any engine controls. This leaves me unable to operate or control my vehicle. This is a huge safety issue when driving as I am unable to determine my speed or see any of my vehicles controls or warnings. The front passenger seat motor has a horrible vibration and struggles to adjust the seat properly. I have contacted multiple dealerships on multiple occasions regarding these issues and have been told that the extended warranty will not cover any of these issues although I was told it would when I purchased. Chevy has refused to offer assistance with Towing the vehicle to a dealership when the cluster stops working and encourages me to drive a vehicle that is not operational. The service manager at one location told me this was a known issue with the vehicle.

Started smelling radiator fluid, took to dealership and the radiator had a hole in it. Dealership put a new one in. I drove it home and on my way home the transmission cooler line tapped out and the fluid drained all over the road. Dealership picked it up and repaired it the next day.

Chevy is aware that this vehicle has a fuel pump failure issue. We were not. The vehicle lost all power while my wife was driving on a very busy Fla highway. She attempted to pull the car over to the shoulder. She was in the far-left lane. It had no shoulder. She was unable to make it completely over to the right shoulder due to having no power. Her car was still in part of the right traveling lane of traffic. This put her at great risk of being rear ended by vehicles going 70 mph and possibly killed. She was 60 miles from home, and I could not reach her intime, so a friend nearby helped. When I visited my chevy dealer and expressed my anger over what just happened they informed me that the same thing happened to another customer. Fuel pump failure. Chevy tells us that the fuel pump is on back order over 2 weeks. Chevy is aware of this very dangerous defect and has done nothing about it. Some maybe killed as a result. Losing power on a busy high going 70 mph is very dangerous. Information on the fuel pump failure for this vehicle can be found online. Thank you
