Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Chevy issued a recall (14350) which states they will repair my ignition keys. They also have a recall for other chevy vehicles that not only repair the keys, but replace the ignition switch and key cylinder. My cylinder and switch are damaged, so far I have gone through an alternator and battery trying to isolate th problem which shows on the scanner as being the cylinder and the switch. Chevy will not replace these items, even tho they are caused by the unintended motion issue.”

Our intended purpose was to take the funds from the sell and pick up 1996 chevy s10. Prior to this trip my car had difficulties starting but never failed to start after several attempts. The car engine stalled coming off of the off ramp at around 30 MPH. When the car stalled I had to manually steer the vehicle to get it to the shoulder of the road (I just had carpool tunnel surgery and it was painful to do so). …”
