Poor stability while driving under windy conditions. Feels as though the vehicle is being blown off the road and that a correction could lead to an "over-correction". Even a light wind (10 kph) causes this feeling.*ak
My vehicle was ruined by a chevy dealership and they will not fix it. I took it for a small oil gasket leak and now the car has no power and another dealership said the gas was in the oil and that my vehicle belongs in a junkyard. I have all the information needed upon request. Nlm

Failure occurred out of warranty time period but well within milage warranty. 3/36 manufacturers warranty. No safety defect listed. *ak
The vehicle experienced electrical problems like a flickering dome light and blown out marker light, turn signal also failed. *yh
