5 EGR VLAVES REPLACED, ONE EVERY YEAR. THE COOLING SYSYEM HAS FAILED HAVING TO BE REPLACED AND FLUSHED TWICE IN THE LAST THIRTEEN MONTHS AND IS STILL MAKING THE SAME NOISE WE HAVE HEARD FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST FOURTEEN MONTHS ! THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE, REPLACED ONCE AND WE STILL NEED TO REPLACE THE PADS EVERY 8-12 MONTHS, REGARDLESS OF MILAGE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP ON THIS VEHICLE IN ONE YEAR. MY QUESTION TO CHEVROLET IS WHO WILL INCUR THESE COSTS THAT BOTH GM AND THE DEALER ADMITTED TO BEING PRODUCT PROBLEMS !!!!

WE'VE GONE THROUGH 4 EGR VALVES NOW. EVERY TIME WE DRIVE FOR EXTENDED HIGHWAY MILES, THE VALVE STICKS OPEN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO RUN ROUGH AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE, IN A NEARLY STALLED STATE, HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE - MAKING A MERGE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC VERY DANGEROUS. OUR VEHICLE HASN'T STALLED YET BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE AVOID DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS. TAPPING ON THE EGR VALVE WITH A WRENCH UNCLOGS THE VALVE BUT IT ONLY STICKS AGAIN THE NEXT TIME WE GO ON THE HIGHWAY. WE'RE AFRAID THAT VEHICLE MAY STALL DURING AN EMERGENCY BREAKING SITUATION.
