EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, THEN RESTARTED, THE DEFECT PERSISTS.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS QUITE DANGEROUS IF THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THE DEFECT, FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS HAPPENING FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT CAN BE COSTLY TO THE POCKETBOOK, DRIVING RECORD, AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY. 2) THE CAR IS DRIVING, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS 0MPH. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY.

IN JULY OF 2007, THE CAR WAS STARTED AND SHUT OFF BY ITSELF A FEW MINUTES LATER. IT WOULD THEN NOT START. WE FIRST HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP THAT INFORMED US THAT THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD CRACKED. IT LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO THE CYLINDERS, THE SPARK PLUGS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND THE COST FOR REPAIR WOULD BE 1400.00. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A 2ND SHOP FOR A 2ND OPINION. THEY TOLD US THAT THE ANTIFREEZE THAT LEAKED HAD TOTALLY LOCKED UP THE ENGINE AND WE NEEDED A WHOLE NEW ONE. THAT WAS GOING TO COST US AT LEAST 2,000 FOR A USED ONE. WE THAN DECIDED THAT A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 60K MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT BE IN NEED OF A NEW ENGINE SO WE AGAIN HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR SHOP. THEY TOLD US THE SAME THING. THE CAR WAS OFFICIALLY IN NEED OF A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. WE CONTACTED CHEVROLET'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPT AND THEY ARE SO FAR UNWILLING TO HELP. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 8-9 MONTHS AND ARE CONTINUING TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON THE LOAN. PER THE DEALER, THE USED ENGINE WILL COST US 3000.00 AND A NEW ONE WILL COST IS 5050.00. *JB","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"CHEVROLET","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10197733,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/18/2007","dateComplaintFiled":"07/28/2007","vin":"","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"WHEN DOING 60 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE READS OVER A 100 MPH.

I AM A WIDOWED SENIOR OF 74 I FEEL HAVE BEEN GREATLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. MONTHS AGO THEY OFFERED ME AND EXTENDED 75,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE IT. THEN I CALLED GM CONSUMER SERVICE. I SPOKE TO JEAN WHYRE AND SHE WAS OF NO HELP AT ALL. SHE DENIED ME BOTH THE EXCHANGE OF VEHICLES AND THE WARRANTY ON THE COLUMN. SHE THEN SAID THAT SHE WAS WITHDRAWING IT CAUSE I REFUSED IT BEFORE THINKING THAT I WAS GOING TO GET A NEW CAR UNDER THE LEMON LAW. WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO HER SHE MALICIOUSLY RECANTED THE OFFER AND SAID I WOULD NOT GET IT THEN HUNG UP ON ME. I INQUIRED WITH THE FL. BAR ASSOCIATION BUT NO LAWYER WITH IN THE STATE WILL COVER THIS TYPE OF CASE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GO TO FOR HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM SO I AM NOW CONTEMPLATING CONTACTING THE LOCAL TELEVISION STATION. THEY HAVE A DEPARTMENT WHICH TAKES CARE OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND ABUSE.

ON PAGE 1-27 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL IT SHOWS A COMFORT GUIDE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE LOCATED IN A POCKET ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT. I HAVE TALKED TO 3 DEALERS AND A REP AT MY-GM LINK. THE DEALERS DID THE BEST THAT WAS POSSIBLE BUT I FEEL THAT THE INFORMATION THE REP AT MY-GM LINK PROVIDED WOULD CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. APPARENTLY GM HAS A KIT THAT COULD BE INSTALLED BY ATTACHING A BRACKET WITH A TETHER AND A CLIP THAT HOOKS AROUND THE SEAT BELT TO PROVIDE THE FUNCTION OF THE COMFORT GUIDE. IF THIS TETHER IS IN PLACE IT WOULD BLOCK EXIT FROM THE REAR SEATS BECAUSE IT CONNECTS TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND WOULD STRETCH ACROSS THE EXIT ONCE THE MIDDLE SEAT IS FOLDED DOWN, AND COULD POSSIBLY BE A TRIP HAZARD. WE HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THE BELT GOES RIGHT ACROSS THEIR FACE AND CAUSES A PROBLEM WHEN THEY KEEP TRYING TO PLACE THE SHOULDER STRAP BEHIND THEIR BACK. I FEEL THIS COMFORT GUIDE IS ESSENTIAL IN PROVIDING SAFETY FOR YOUNG AND SHORT PASSENGERS. THE CASE NUMBER WITH GM IS 1-94348313.
