What owners say
Car has been in and out of chevrolet dealership for 2 yrs trying to determine stalling problem. Ecm and prom failed, causing catalytic converter to also need replacement. Brakes have been served every 3000 miles because they do not allow car to stop at normal stopping distance. Brakes seem too soft, has nearly caused a few accidents because brakes do not stop the car, nearly slow it down. Brakes have been serviced by chevrolet technician. Why haven't these parts been recalled if so many people are experiencing problems with the same defects?
