I loved my Chevrolet Captiva when I purchased it. It had everything I was looking for except the gas mileage, but because it was everything I had been looking for, I overlooked its gas mileage. Then at around 50,000 miles the alternator when out and I was over 100 miles away from home, with an elderly person as a passenger. Then on December 22, 2017, the transmission went out with less than 75000 miles on it. The warranty had only been out for about 7 weeks. Chevrolet is going to take care of $1712.00 leaving me with $3236.37 out of pocket. Unfortunately, this will be my last Chevrolet. I love them when they run, but if they breakdown it is almost like buying it again with loans for repairs, because the transmission cost around $4948.37.

First bought used @ 50,000. After 2 or 3 months found a light out on right rear. Removed all insulating foam etc but could not access. Due to a recall ask dealer. Said have to remove bumper to access! Did, but found wire was bad. Then the recall, reset the cruse to work @ 1 mph increments instead of 2. Lasted short time & back like it was. Then shifter locked in park. Had to disc battery & leave hood up until fixed. This took 3 new ones. Luckily mentioned to mech friend, told me he could fix, took 5 min. & no more lock ups. THEN @ 104,500 miles it dropped a valve, ruined engine. Cheap China steel I guess. We liked the ride, size, handling etc. but I’d never recommend with all the trouble. We feel cheated as expected it to run 2-300,000 & many more years.
