I have never had a car with so many problems. I purchased the car with approx. 45,000 km on it. After reaching about 55,000 km, items that were replaced under warranty included the "cluster" (gauges did not work properly), horn, and tie rod. Then after the warranty expired, I had to replace the mechanism used for changing to the high beams (probably around the 80,000 km) and then just this year at 150,000 km, I had to pay out $3000.00 to get the transmission repaired. Apparently there are these brass bushings that break down in the transmission and send metal filings all throughout the transmission. I called GM to see if they would warranty the transmission since it was under 160,000 km, but they said that my particular year of car did not fall under this warranty. More recently, my newest issue with the car is the water pump that needed to be replaced and cost me $300.00. I have always owned gm vehicles because I thought GM made a great product, but I am wondering if that is still the case. I am sadly disappointed in GM.

This car right here is starting to piss me off. Before I could get my instrument panel fixed, the darn car starts shifting hard. At the shop, now. They think it is related to the instrument panel not working. I'll update....

I'll never own a chevy product again! I've had nothing but problems!!! strut mounts replaced, 2 water pumps, blew head gasket, replaced trans. All this with only 58,000 miles on my new car. GM makes a cheap product!

about a year ago the transmission started acting up. and then it would be fine for awhile and then it would start doing it again, shifting hard,slipping,jerk when you go to take off. so finally i decided to take it and have the fluid changed. guess what!!! now it"s worse, around 1500 miles later. the salesman that sold me the car, told me that the transmission fluid didn"t need changing for 100,000 miles. what a joke!!! i have been a general motors customer for years, since i started driving @ 35 years ago. my place of employment is a supplier for GM, so i would get a discount if i bought a new car or truck. wife wants a toyota,,, may go there!!!! several problems happening every since i bought the car..
