Also my radio goes real low in a high pitch tone & I can't hear it so that means my turn singnals are low & everything else that makes a sound is very low. Also my window controls are all starting to not work one by one. I only have 89000 miles on my car. My mechanic is telling me I should get rid of my car but I always thought chevy was a good car.”

NHTSA complaint #10850264, filed 2016-03, 80,000 miles“Traveling at 70 MPH, suddenely traction control light came on, then engine powered down, I find that this is a common problem with this car, why isn't something being done. This has happened 4 times since march 5, 2014. At shop now will cost me over $500.00 to replace the throttle control. This needs to be a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10568584, filed 2014-03, 71,000 miles“I was driving down I 74 at 70 MPH when my dash issued 3 warnings (service traction control, service stabilitrack, & engine power reduced). My vehicle dropped down to 15 MPH and was unable to pick up speed. I had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid being hit by oncoming traffic. By the time I got to a safe place the whole thing was shaking and sputtering. They need to do a recall before someone gets killed !”
