Description of the problem | This vehicle has problems with its starter. I'm not sure of the first date it was noticed. Initially the key would get stuck in the ignition, it would take up to 1/2 hr or more for the key to come out, then longer, then days in which the battery would have to be recharged. It also on occasion would activate the 'kill-switch' on the alarm. We were told by chevy that the car was not 'recognizing' the ignition key. Finally after the money was available, the car was taken to chevy for repair. Initially it was fine... The key didn't get stuck, then only a few times ... None in which it didn't come out.... However, the car in 2013? Began to die while being driven. My son and finance' bough this to my attention and for safety i no longer drive the car as the last time it happened was in traffic, fortunately, we were able to steer into a parking lot and park the car. It would restart without a problem..... But not knowing why or when it will stop was/is to much of a risk so we turned in the registration. We told chevy, wrote ... But no one has every responded. I am not sure why this vehicle is not on the recall list for its ignition problem and would like to know how to find out who else has the same problem with this model. Due to its condition, i can't sell it or drive it. Your help is very much appreciated. |
