Description of the problem | I bought this car for my daughter, the second or third week after she got it she started to notice the radio flickering on and off while driving for no reason, which eventually led to the radio flickering continuously after using blinkers &windows. "service stabilitrak" flashes on the display often but very quickly and goes off. Doesn't occur every time i drive, but it does it more times than not. Now the radio will flicker and i will occasionally lose cruise control and power steering. I also have no blinkers/radio when this happens. It usually only happens briefly and will return to normal soon after, but it continues to do it off and on until i park. I have also noticed this occurring when i shift gears to park. Most recently i went to start my car and it just clicked and wouldn't start. I got it to start and it said "service anti theft deterrent," then changed to "service power steering" just as i lost power steering while driving. "service stabilitrak quickly flashed next all while i lost blinkers, power steering, and radio. I parked, turned my car off and restarted it and it was just fine. It has been to the chevy dealer once but they could not get a code to read because they can't get the radio to flicker, etc because it only happens every so often but when it does happen it is scary! So there is nothing they can do to fix it. Please look into it as i do not feel it is safe for her to drive. This has been going on for 3 months now and i do not feel like this car is reliable which is the reason i bought it! There has to be something that can be done as i have read several complaints that are extremely similar to mine! I also have come to the conclusion that the problems are going to continue to worsen after reading the other complaints. It is a major problem. Please don't wait until something tragic happens before something is done about this! Please! |
