PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES FROM A LOCAL DEALER. PROBLEMS INCLUDING POWER LOSS AND OVER HEATING WITHIN FIRST FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE. CHEVY DEALER "REPAIR" WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES CURRENTLY. CHEVY ESCALATES AND SAYS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE, WE SHOULD PAY THOUSANDS TO REPAIR HEAD GASKET EVEN THOUGH THERE TECH SUPPORT SAYS TO DAMAGE TO GASKET IS NOT SHOWING UP WHEN TESTED. DANGEROUS SMALL VEHICLE THAT LOOSES POWER FOR UNKNOWN REASON AND OVERHEATS FOR UNKNOWN REASON. SO FAR IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. MANY CONSUMER BLOGS AND SAME COMPLAINTS. THOUSANDS OF BLOGS.
