2005 Chevrolet Kalos LX review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent if the above fault was fixed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The airbag warning light has been repeatedly illuminating through out the last year. It is now on its 9th visit to the Chevrolet appointed garage to have the problem fixed. Each time they have repaired it, I'm sure with the best intentions, but each time it comes back on within a matter of weeks.
Now one year after its first visit, the fault has finally been diagnosed, and I am confronted with a £200 repair bill. Because the dealer who sold us the car in the first place did not keep up the warranty servicing, Chevrolet customer care have advised that they will not honour the warranty, but that as a goodwill gesture they will pay half the cost of the parts. This is a nice gesture, but my argument with them and the garage is that, why has it taken so long to find the fault? It has now cost me one month's motoring throughout the year. A very unsatisfactory situation.
General comments?
Very pleased, with the exception of the above fault.
