Out with the old & in with the new! So my daughter and I went Black Friday shopping for a cute, new/used car after Thanksgiving. I bought my 2006 Chevy Impala LT off the lot in 2006, still runs like a champ but after the divorce I was ready for some changes. This vehicle is having issues that a car twice it's age with twice it's mileage would have. Again, the car isn't even 4 years old.īTW: I take really good care of our vehicles. Combined, it is a $1400 repair on a car that isn't even 5 years old yet.ħ4,000 Miles: Just noticed the black paint is flaking off of the lift gate. In addition, the mechanic found that the AC compressor and radiator was already leaking. Replaced a emissions control part = $170 out of pocket. Warranty repaired.ħ1,000 Miles: Engine started making a bad tapping sound. CPO warranty repair.Ħ7,000 miles: Oil smell in car returned dur to a leaking valve cover. Spark plugs some how worked their way out. CPO warranty repair.ĥ6,000 miles: Car became very under powered and had oil smell in car. Warranty repair.Ĥ7,000 miles: One of the rear seat belt buckles broke. On top of the Chevy MyLink system being junk the following problems began a couple months later.ģ8,000 miles: The rear break calipers sticking and ruined the rotors and pads.
This Trax seemed to be the best fit and was unbelievable good in deep snow, especially with having snow tires on top of having AWD and still being able to get 27 MPG! She needed a AWD that got good gas mileage because her new career had her driving up to 90 miles a day on snowy back roads. 2 years ago, my wife traded in her extremely reliable 2002 Ford Taurus with 230,000 miles for a certified pre-owned 2015 Chevy Trax LT AWD with 30,000 miles.
