Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This car has been nothing but a nightmare for me. and to add insult to injury, the local chevy dealer says there is nothing wrong with the car. (though it doesn't stop them from charging me for all the expensive repairs that have been made) this car has many, many electrical problems. i purchased this car as a "certified gm" back in july 2001. there are just too many issues to list on this forum. most recent, was coming home last night with my son in the car. for no reason at all the headlights failed, leaving me w/ 1 fog lamp as the other went w/ the headlights. on a gravel road, w/ no lights. found ourselves in the ditch. still waiting for the tow truck to pull the piece of crap out. son got a nice goose egg out of the ordeal from hitting his head on the door on the bumpy ride down the ditch. i am so fed up with this car. *nm
