We took it to two different certified Chevy dealerships and they gave us a vague resolution and this issusr is not fixed at all. Our engine is locking up on us at full speed on the highway. This vehicle has 83,000 miles on it and we’ve maintained this vehicle very well.”
NHTSA complaint #11762588, filed 2026-09“We were driving full speed down the highway and the vehicle completely shut down steering wheel locked and we were stranded for six hours.
