My check engine light keeps staying on I go and have it scanned and they tell me it's sensors so each time I change my sensors the check engine light comes back on again, not sure how many sensor is that I have to keep changing in order for my check engine light to go off and I'm not sure if there's a problem with the diagnose of the engine light so I wanted to know if other people are having the same problem as me I can't keep paying to change all these sensors and each time I have it scan it shows up some more so I'm thinking it must be misdiagnosing something that's why I'm checking if there was any other complaints or recalls on this thank you very much

My Check engine light came on at about 46,000 miles. The mechanic showed me that the oil was burned at looked like chips of metal. He said that the Turbo Charger was cracked also. He replaced everything and flushed the system clean. He video taped the whole repair process. Now, 8,000 miles later, the Check Engine light is back on and the very same problem has repeated itself. I looked on the internet and found HUNDREDS of Blogs with THOUSANDS of Consumers with the same problem. All of them state that the Turbo Charger cracks, leaks into the coolant, over-heats the engine and burns up the oil. They all state that the repair is about $3,000.00. Some are on their 3rd and 4th go-around with this problem. They state that Chevrolet does NOT respond. I, personally, contacted the dealership that sold me my care and reported the problem. I was told that mine was an isolated incident and then they tried to sell me another car. Here is ONLY ONE BLOG with all the consumers' complaints about this ONE MATTER: [XXX] I paid around $35,000.00 for this car at the time of purchase. I paid it off early. You can tell by the low mileage that I do not drive my automobile hard. I keep it well maintained. At 50,000 miles, it cannot be driven until I invest another $3,000.00 in repairs....that I just paid 8,000 miles ago for the the same repeating problem. I need Chevrolet to do one of three things: 1) Resolve the ROOT problem that keeps causing this ongoing problem and fix my car PERMANENTLY of this problem at NO CHARGE; 2) Give me a different model car that has 50,000 miles as an exchange; 3) Refund 2/3 of my money so that I can get a different vehicle. They have left me with no automobile to drive. They act like I am too stupid to understand that the problem lies with them (probably because I am female). They try to convince me to spend yet another 35,000 to 40,000 dollars on a different new car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
