ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Every month my car will randomly say engine power reduced and will go no higher than 30mph. Which has happened on the highway and is super dangerous! I have seen many reports of the same problem but nothing being done about it. I took it to the dealership I got it from and I paid $100 dollars for diagnostics and the mechanic said the car computer needed updated...alright, the next day the message came back up and car couldn’t go higher than 30. I haven’t had this car for a year, and the shocks have popping noises, and whenever I put the car in park a message will appear saying shift car to park. And I have to literally roughly giggle the lever for it to read it’s in park or my car won’t turn off. I truly love this car but it has to many issues that shouldn’t be happening.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

WHILE STATIONARY, AND READY TO SHUT OFF CAR, GET A MESSAGE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK BUT IT ALREADY IS IN PARK. CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. HAVE TO KEEP MESSING WITH SHIFTER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CAN FINALLY TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAPPENED CONSTANTLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CONTROL PROBLEM AND I HAD TO PAY $445.08 TO FIX. SUPPOSEDLY CHEVROLET RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM IN JULY 2019 BEFORE THIS STARTED HAPPENING TO ME AND ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (I THINK NO. 18-NA-297) BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL DONE. MY POINT IS, IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBILITY OF FIRE, IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE CAR CANNOT BE TURNED OFF QUICKLY. SO WHY DIDN'T THIS PROBLEM DESERVE TO MERIT A RECALL AND FREE REPAIRS?
