I live in illinois. I've done tried everything. The car was in the shop for over a month cost me $1500 to fix every issues the mechanic thought was wrong and the car still have the same issues. I have even just recently brought a new gas cap because that light kept saying tighten. This can be really stressful. I dont think I will ever buy another chevy car again. As I research my issue just by typing in the problems without giving the make and model of car. I see all these problems are only with chevy vechiles. What do I do?

In 2016 I was driving to work when the check engine light, traction control light, ABS light, service stabilitrack light and service brake assist light came on all at the same time. I took it to chevy dealer and they claimed my car was misfiring, along with the left wheel hub, and a tune up. Long story short, in three months I spent about $3000 on something that is continuing to happen. But the difference is now it feels like my brakes slip when the lights come on. And they come on and off and on and off..I could just have turned the car on and the lights are dinging. I tried to see if general motors will help me, and of course they cannot do anything. As I read through all of these complaints, it makes me feel less crazy since every time I take it to a shop the diagnostic machine doesn't pick up any codes. This needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt. And general motors needs to do better in making their consumers happier with their products.

Driving on interstate 95 going between 60 and 65 all of a sudden engine light came on, the engine reduction power light, the stability traction control light came on and the engine slows down from 60 to 20 miles while driving on a crowed highway during rush hour. Pull over by that time I was barely moving to the side of the rode. Took it to the dealer they looked it over and said it was a bad sensor in the accelerator. Well the light when off for about a month but it started again doing the same thing, began to do research and there are tons of complaints on youtube dealing with the same issue. This is a very dangerous issue to have to deal with.
