“Water in headlights. Taken back to dealership once already. Water accumulated again. Tail lights were stuck. Only one turn signal would blink, which would cause everything on the dashboard to blink and the radio reading to blink. - diagnosis was the hazard light switch on top of the steering column. Replaced. Upon purchase and driving - a slight hesitation was noticed when accelerating. The dealership said it was the way chevys' change gears. The hesitation is getting worse (possible transmission problems)”
