I bought this car november 02, 2011 drove it home. The very next day I notice the cranking issues. The car will crank right up of the mornings, but after it warms up it could take up to 5 times. The car will shake and die. So I have no warranty for this car I bought used. So it's like I am stuck with it until it's paid for. So I google information about this car for any recalls and have been trying to find out if the fuel pump has or not been replaced for this car. My mechanic tells me it is my fuel pump. The recall was february 28, 2011, I feel this car was missed. This is the very first chevrolet that I have bought, but trying to crank this car is just crazy. I get so fustrated this is a poor quality of a car. Everytime I take it to have anything done to it. I want to crawl under the table, cause I have to explain to them that I have a retard of a car. Can someone help me please.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, a short circuit caused all of the vehicle's lights to blink at the same time very rapidly. Also, the horn sounded rapidly, then the vehicle powered down causing all of the lights to dim and the electronic steering wheel to lock up. The vehicle went into a coasting mode. Until the vehicle powered back up again, and the computers overrode each other, the steering wheel would not unlock. The dealership replaced all of the lights three times. This included turn signal lights, headlights, taillights and any other lights to try and remedy the problem. The fuel pump was changed because the dealership thought the fuel pump may be overriding the main computer. The cruise control was also replaced because the dealership thought maybe the cruise control was activating the system, but the problem still persisted. The cruise control was not in use when the short circuit occurred. Updated 10/4/2006 -
