MY REMOTE WOULD NOT LOCK THE DOORS. REPLACED BATTERIES. IT WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK ONCE. THEN NOTHING. FUSE BLOWN. REPLACE FUSE. WORK ONCE, BLOW FUSE. TOOK TO DEALER AFTER 3 MONTHS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS MY TRUNK SPACE, YOU CAN'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WITHOUT REMOTE. A WIRE INSIDE THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD SOMEHOW BEEN SEVERED??? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN. $685 TO FIX.... NEXT HUGE ISSUE: DRIVING DOWN ROAD.. FRONT END GONE???? STRUTS, LINKS...$1100 CAR WON'T START ...HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS, SEEN A LOT OF THESE WITH NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG. WELL DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS FUEL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT, BAD INJECTORS... GRAND TOTAL TO FIX $2000.. IN WHAT WORLD SHOULD A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT EVEN 100K MILES ON IT HAVE SO MANY COSTLY FIXES......I LOOKED ON HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THE STARTING ISSUE.. SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR

WAS GOING UP HILL LOST POWER, SOUNDED LIKE CAR DID NOT HAVE MUFFLER, GOT HOME AND THE HOSE GOING TO HEADERS WAS BROKEN. TOOK TO GET FIXED SAID IT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED AND HAD TO ADD NEW PARTS TO FIX COST 400 PLUS LABOR. IF REDESIGNED MUST BE PROBLEM IN MORE THAN ONE CAR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 114, 'THEFT PROTECTION.' AN IGNITION KEY PARK LOCK CABLE END FITTING WAS NOT FULLY SEATED ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER NAIL HEAD DURING INSTALLATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN PREVENT THE CABLE AUTO-SET FROM CORRECTLY ADJUSTING THE CABLE. AN INCORRECTLY ADJUSTED CABLE PREVENTS THE SHIFTER FROM LOCKING IN THE 'PARK' POSITION WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE KEY CYLINDER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SHIFT LOCK WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED. DEALERS WILL REPAIR VEHICLES THAT EXHIBIT THE SUBJECT CONDITION. THE RECALL BEGAN AUGUST 17, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438.
