Faults:

Engine suddenly stops while driving. When taken to Chevrolet service centre, couldn't rectify the problem.

General Comments:

Very bad after sales & service. Don't know if this mechanics has knowledge of rectifying the problem. I don't think so they are trained too. They keep guessing things! What a shame! Then why sell or market Chevrolet!

No need for service centres when they just can't rectify problems!

Faults:

EGR valve coolant gasket blown at 50,900K. Replaced under warranty.

Oil pump spline seal blew at 80,000 K, replaced under warranty. Also required new timing belt due to oil damage.

Factory recall for electrical issues behind dash causing melted harness.

Door handle on drivers door broke, plastic snapped off.

Now we have gasoline odor in the coolant reservoir.

HEAD GASKET! $1000 to fix!!!

General Comments:

This car is poorly designed, has very expensive parts aftermarket.

Nothing but powertrain issues, you can't even check the transmission fluid levels (sealed unit as the dealer calls it!!)

Coolant gaskets are blowing all over the engine, there is NO aftermarket repair manual.

Checked into fuel filter pricing - PUMP/FILTER is one unit! Replacement cost = $700 (for the whole in-tank fuel pump)

Faults:

The car's air conditioning broke down at 27,000 miles. Good to know it was still under warranty, and had it replaced brand new.

General Comments:

I have lived with it for 4 years. I have maintained it from the dealer itself with my scheduled maintenance booklet up until the warranty coverage, and it's still running well.

However, the 4 shock absorbers had to be replaced after 75,000 miles, which I have purchased brand new.

Dashboard is useless for a wife, who always brings her pack of tissues and paraphernalia. Other than that, the interior compartment is usable. Very roomy and comfortable with kids.

I travel on freeway daily, rushing not less than 140,000 kph on a fast lane, and I don't experience any hassles., smooth like a wind. Brake system is magnificent coz I had experience a sudden stop running at the top speed of 120,000 kph... whew.. close to death..

Spare parts are always available at a good reasonable price.

Faults:

Gas consumption is bad.

My front struts both seized.

Engine has a rattle sound.

Front rotors keep warping every couple of weeks.

General Comments:

This car drives nice and handles nice, but is very hard on the brakes. This car should not be used for commuting, and also it's bad on gas.

Faults:

- 1st year I got the car I only serviced and repaired at Chevrolet service center. They charge expensive and never solved any of the problems, even if the car was still under warranty.

- One plastic part was came of at the tip of dashboard 1st week I got the brand new car. Seems to be fixable since it's still in warranty period. Unfortunately the dealer fail to fix it.

- Lots of wiring problems since I got it first hand in May 2005.

- Alarm went crazy after 30,000km.

- All reading lights not working after 5000km. Change the bulb few times but it's not working permanently after a year I own the car.

- Front light bulb has to be change frequent after 3,000km. The standard bulb I replace at service center is too expensive. At last I replaced a with cheaper Bosch bulb from cheap car spare part shop myself, and never had problem on the front bulb issue ever since.

- Manufacturer should give dry cell battery as standard instead normal battery.

- At 60,000km the car had engine oil leakage.

- Extremely expensive spare parts, timing belt, baring, brake pad, every single part is expensive to replace. My advice, do not go to the dealer or service center if you want to buy parts but get it yourself from spare part shop and fix it at some other workshop. The Chevrolet service center will only bring worst damage to your car.

- Bad after sales service by dealer. Seems they don't know anything about the car. They just don't care.

- Low 2nd hand value.

General Comments:

This is a comfy car. I love riding it. It feels like an expensive car when cruising. A spacious car too.

If not due to bad after sales service, expensive spare parts and unreliability of its parts, this car would have been great experience for me. Petrol consumption is high. I wish I can get rid of this car as soon as possible, it's a total loss, but cannot do much because 2nd hand value is so bad. I should get a Toyota or Honda instead.
