Right when I left the dealers lot, it needed a new head gasket, intake gasket coil pack, and a thermostat. Luckily the dealer paid for that. Since then, I noticed when slowing down for a stop sign, if there's a slight bump in the road, it feels like I'm running over a boulder. While slowing down most times, the front end of the vehicle seems to bog down about an inch, was told maybe a motor mount? Rpms always bog up and down for no reason like it's trying to accelerate on its own. A few weeks ago my air bag light came on indicating my air bags won't deploy when needed. A couple weeks later the rpms bogging and front end bogging downward became more constant, then my speedometer randomly will go to 0 while in motion, then a few minutes later will work fine. Rpms seem to be working normal when the speedometer is working normal. The other day, while braking, of course.... The boulder feeling while braking, front end bogged downward, rpms went ridiculously high between 3-4 back and forth erratically, and the speedometer went to 0.. All that happened at once, made me officially realize, it has to all be a connected problem. Then I found this site, with so many people having these same issues, for so long.. How in god's name is this pos not recalled?? I can't even in good conscience choose someone to die by selling this thing to them, I still owe so much money on it. There's so many stories of people randomly steering, and accelerating full throttle in various directions and any given time. What demonized transformer of a vehicle did I buy? How are these things still on the road? How many people have to die before chevy owns up to this deadly hunk of metal they sold to us? Please recall asap. I literally can't sell it to anyone. It's going to kill someone! At this year, there can't be many more on the road since they keep crashing. Recall the ones that are left.
