I've had electrical problems with this car since I purchased it in March 2005. I contacted the car dealer several times and visited them due to car unable to start or "sputtering". Initially, there wasn't anything that could be done because I would never experience the problem at the dealer. Eventually, the starter was replaced and the battery was exchanged more than 2 in a year but I continued to have the same problems even now. Eventually I learned to "gas it" in order to start the vehicle because returning to the car dealer every time something was wrong with it - I've had OTHER recurring problems with it as well - was too time consuming for me, a full-time employee and part-time student. At the time I didn't know of any other recourse, so I dropped it and suffered with this inconvenience but eventually I contacted GM directly and never got a response or explanation on my complaints. Additionally, as far as electrical problems go...the fuses burn out way to quickly. I'm lucky if the fuses to the cigarette chargers last more than 1 months. The battery always drains.
