"The screen went dark and I had to replace the HMI module. The Navigation System ceased working and in order to repair I would have to have the dashboard removed to get at the failed parts. I do not want my dashboard removed - too intrusive and frankly, a risk. It does burn my ass that CHEVROLET can build such a wonderful sports car but struggles with ordinary technology. Isn't that American though, put a man on the moon but can't fix a bridge. Too bad."
