After nearly 50K miles we have had no problems with the car. Drives great and very good economy.

poor gas millage on a 4 cylinder 19-23mpg mostly hwy miles. traction and break control systems failed causing accident. this is an unsafe car. car under warranty 34000 miles. GM response less than helpful. GM black box was tested for and showed no accident infomation but driver side airbags failure in reality drivers door crushed in. Car under warranty was taken by me and GM to several dealerships, SUNSHINE CHEVROLET tech told me by the codes the two parts that would have causes the issues. GM made by back and now SUNSHINE CHEVROLET won't service the new chevrolet.

Dangerous

Christmas of 2020 i bought a 2011 Ltz, with only 27,400 miles on it. The car is in mint condition inside and out, but the crazy thing i can't figure about this car is the handling. The body roll is so terrible i can if I try roll that sucker on its side going about 10 miles per hour. I have so far changed all struts and springs, and today, replace a tie rod and sway bar link to driver side. The knuckles were so bad I just can not understand how a car that has never been driven in 10 years can have this problem. The changes I have made so far has not diminished the body roll. I can easily rock the steering wheel right and left just a hairline and make this car feel like I'm on the ocean in the midst of tsunami. I will be taking her in for an alignment because of replacing tie rod, etc. I am convinced there is a bigger issue here with body roll. I will be taking it in for a full underbody inspection. Anyone who's experienced similar please, feel free to comment.
