Description of the problem | "takata recall" while driving on i70 south in the fast lane my 2009 chevy traverse started to loose power, lights started flickering, and then ultimately stopped as i was partially in the roadway. State patrol had to come out and move the vehicle and assure my safety of exiting on this very dark interstate. The vehicle would not even start up again. And this was three days following a tune-up w/6 new coil packs, oil change w/filter and flow vent. And all this cost almost 600. 00 bucks because coils are nearly 45. 00 per coil. And all this had to happen because of a constant misfire in all of my cylinders. So i had the truck towed 48 miles home and then 16 miles to the dealer just to be told that this truck has a timing chain recall that was never done. So i was told by the dealership to call che y corporate office. Lol. Chevrolet told me that the the recall expired and that i would have to pay for the timing chain myself. After 2 years of constant spending. Im done and have been advised to sue. The trooper called to follow up with me because i did almost die on the interstate because my vehicle went completely out and 18 wheelers were going extremely fast. And he provided me with a complete police report to go after chevy. My two kids now hate the vehicle. My daughter cried all through the 4th of july because of the trauma. And chevy should not be allowed to sell family vehicles without having a families safety in mind. This was my first chevy purchase and it will be my last. This is not a company i wish to support. Because it could careless about our lives and safety. I refuse to pay another 2k to repair an issue that had a recall that i didnt know about. #2ndownersclub |
