Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased a 95 barrette. I did not start having problems until 2000. It was a brake related problem. My brakes would lock up and the ABS light would come on. I had no idea what the problem was but knew I had to have it fixed before it caused a accident from brake lock up during hard braking. I ultimately bought a cd version of a auto repair manual. Popular mechanics repair software. Still no answers until I went to the TSB and safety recall portion. I was shocked to find my problem in there. …”
NHTSA complaint #10000950, filed 2003-01, 85,000 miles“Coolant leak caused head gasket to crack. Henna chev claimed for a week not to know what was wrong, then said it would cost me $250 just to take apart the engine to discover problem. Had to take car to another repair shop. Repairs cost me over $900. Chevrolet refuses responsibility.”
NHTSA complaint #720049, filed 2000-03“35000 miles and I need a new water pump? It cost me almost $350.00 to have a new one put on! According to my uncle, who is a mecanic, the water pump did not need replacing! The pressure release valve for the coolant had a leak underneath the bolt. I told the mechanic this and they still put a water pump on it! Do these dealerships get off when a woman comes in and they can take her for all that she is worth?! Have you had any other complaints about the coolant leaking out from the pressure release valve?valve?”
