2004 Chevrolet Classic User Reviews

Affordable, And Decently Built. We've Been Happy With It. — It's not a horrible car, but not the worlds' greatest, either. Over-all, it's been a dependable car, but we HAVE had issues. One of the most annoying, as well as most frequent, is with the anti-theft system. For whatever reason, it likes to lock us out. This is easily fixed, as it just requires turning the car off, removing the key, replacing the key, turning to the run position (not all the way to start), and waiting for the anti-theft light to turn off. It's easy, but it usually takes at least 10 minutes to reset itself. Handling is good, acceleration is decent, braking is good. Most of the repairs it has needed have been self-repairs, which is a positive. It can be fun to find things such as fuses, as there are three completely separate fuse boxes (one on both passenger and drivers side dash, one under the hood. The one under the hood is where you'll find your cigarette lighter/power point fuse, lolol). It's a comfortable car to ride in, and we've always enjoyed riding in it. Over-all, we're pleased with this vehicle.

Not Too Happy — Known problem with the timing chain jumping out...I wasn't told up front about this possibility. My wife's car, so I'm not sure when it happened or the conditions, but I now have a $2100 repair bill to put a used engine in--private mechanic. Clements, the dealer, said they'd be glad to put in a new engine for $4700...go figure. Also had trouble with the control yoke for the w/wiper and turn signals. Fixed that myself because a replacement part was $170 more than I could afford.
