Are you sure it wasn't just steam from a cold morning?

Good luck on it man. Wife is suppose to pick it up hopefully they got it fixed right. They offered me only 11,500 for trade in and it has only 40k miles and for fair trade its 14k. Damn stealership. Get the car looked at before too much goes wrong with it.

Wife picked up the car on Friday and drove it maybe 50 miles and then the ac stops blowing cold air then a check engine light comes on then it overheats. Lucky she was able to get it out of the road and into a parking lot before it stopped working. Bc as soon as she parked it, it dead and would not start again. To top everything else it was hot out and my 2 kids were in the car too. This car is a lemon and Chevrolet needs to buy it back.

If it is having problems you better take it in now so you can get a paper trail going. I hope that there is nothing wrong with yours though.
