NHTSA complaint #10069976, filed 2004-01, 108,970 miles“I bought this car used at a dealership, I.e., bill kelley chevrolet, and was not given information about the recalls . The car has not been able to work properly and the dealer who sold us the car refuses to give us any help. My son paid an additional 300 to get the car in working order and 3 days later it is still not working. I believe they should have informed us of the recall notices to repair said car.”
NHTSA complaint #10059985, filed 2004-02“While driving at 50 MPH, noticed vehicle started to lose power. Also, the automatic locks will lock only with vehicle is put into motion; and when trying to use the switch on the door, it doesn't work. When putting on high high beams they will work, but when cutting the high beam off, the regular lights won't work. It takes along time for the consumer to get the lights to work.”
NHTSA complaint #828987, filed 1998-10“Gas tank is leaking in seams back of gas tank, and gas leaks onto ground. Consumer stated that tank was filled with gas and buckets had to be placed under car to catch the leaking gasoline.”
