    Status:
    Answered
    I purchased a vehicle from them less than 2 years ago. They sold me an extended warranty and GAP insurance, which I purchased to protect myself from financial hardship before the loan would be paid off. I did so because the last vehicle I purchased from them had a serious breakdown while I still owed about $2000, and that had to be added to this vehicle. However a year or so into the loan I had a major repair, which the warranty denied half of the repairs. It seemed one of those fluke things with cars, but I was without a vehicle for about 5 weeks and still paid almost $****. I accepted it and hoped it would be the reliable vehicle I had hoped to purchase for the remainder of the loan. However August 21st or 1st it died and I took it in. This time it was a huge pistion, engine, oil thing. The warranty denied all of it stating "low oil" and was my fault. I have taken it to the dealership for every oil change and paid attention to the recommended mileage on the sticker they put in my windshield. I wasn't informed of low oil or of the recommended **** instead of **** miles until this breakdown. Once this happened the person told me this vehicle consumes more oil then regular and that even the manufacturer has stated it, yet my knowledge was on the sticker they put up. I researched and found ******** has a class action lawsuit trying to deal with this problem. If it is known to the dealership and they have been changing my oil and seeing it low, how is it my responsibility to pay this repair that the warranty denied. I've gone to them because I wanted to make sure the warranty couldn't deny a repair based on unknown companies working on the vehicle, yet they misinformed me. Now I'm financially in ruins, still have $12000 on the loan, and lost all trust in them with my vehicle. I need them to reimburse me for the repairs. I am terrified of this vehicle and need to eliminate the loan so I can get into a reliable vehicle.

    Chevy is the worst company I will NEVER buy a vehicle from any Chevy dealership. I own a Volvo and my auto insurance has a contract with Chevy for body work. Top of my roof was damaged from an accident and my driver side panel was also damaged from a car accident. Brought my vehicle to get body work completed. Went to pick up my car 16 days later and my car looked worse than what I brought my vehicle to Chevy. The front left bumper had about 20 nibs in it., which Savanah stated that was normal. My sunroof molding looked like a rollercoaster and according to Chevy that’s normal as well. My back window had chunks of glue on it from them working on my sunroof. Inside my back seat there was dw40 sprayed all over my leather seats, there was film all over inside and outside my vehicle from Chevy doing body work on it. My windshield it looked like someone took there finger nails and try to dig out the molding in the window. But according to Savannah this is normal. They decided to fix the paint job got it back 4 days later still has nibs in it and craters and now it has scratches in the clear coat and I. The paint that were never there. On top of all that Chevy order the wrong part for the molding for the driver side windshield it’s 2 different colors but according to Savannah that’s how it’s supposed to look. Called Volvo to see if Chevy order the correct part# come to find out Chevy order the incorrect part numbers for the vehicle and that’s why there’s 2 different colors. Since the sunroof molding doesn’t lay down according to Volvo the sunroof will leak. After Chevy does any body work they like to leave your car dirty and Chevy states they hand wash there vehicle which is bs I have a black car and there was brown dust from the body shop working on my car so obviously they don’t wash your vehicle and they don’t care. Called and left message for David ***** he stated the car looks great and that your car will never look exactly the same as you brought it in. .
