1991 CHEVROLET Beretta

the problem is that all the owner said is that there was a crack in the radiator! nothing about the transmission about to go out soon!

The main problem with the car is the peeling paint. The clear coat is all off by now and looks awful. The steering wheel on the car is loss. I had that repaired in 2000 but is loss again. The supension has given problems, I just replaced some parts that were broken, luckily they weren’t to much.

I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF GM REPAINTING CARS WITH BAD PAINT. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAINTED BECAUSE IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY TO SEND ME A RECALL I HAD CALLED A CHEVY DEALER IN IOWA CITY AT ONE TIME AND ASKED IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS HE SAID NO. BUT SINCE I DIDN\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’T BUY THE CAR THERE, HE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GET AHOLD OF MY OWN DEALER. I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND 1998 OR 1999. MY CAR HAS PAINT COMING OFF EVEN ON THE SIDES. THE COLOR IS GOING TO BE WHITE WITH A CHALKY RESIDUE.

All the color peals off, it startet when the car is almostly new, but GM Switzerland does not offer any guarantee on import cars…As i owned 6 Chevolet Berettas (1987 up to 1994), 4 Chevrolet Corsicas (1988-1991), 2 Chevrolet Cavaliers (1990), 1 Dodge Stealth, all with the same Problem i think GM should pay something for their very very very bad quality

Thought it was my alternator it checked to be good then i bought a battery then changed the fuze and the car is still dyeing the battery gage still goes all the way down then the turn signal switch that turns the turn signal off and on smoke was coming out of the steering wheel column when it was on and now the sound of the turn signal stays on when the turn signal is off and both turn signals are flashing at the same time when its in the off position no fire just smoke. *tr
