I've had no problems up until now, except with alignment issues. I brought my car into the shop because I had another alignment issue. They found I had a slipped belt in the Tire which was causing the problem. Ok, they replaced the tire under warranty. I drove for a couple of days and I was still having problems with the steering wheel wobbling left to right. I took it back to the shop and they checked the tire again. They found nothing wrong with the tires but upon inspection of the suspension the mechanic put his hand on the left front axle and it would move around about 1-2 inches and he said it was not normal. He said if it was the axle it would cost $400 to $600 to fix but if it was not it would have to be the transmission where the problem is. I'm struggling right now, I can't afford to get this fixed. I'm still driving it as I have no other means of transportation. I thought they were good cars. I should have stayed with Chevrolet.
I can't see the complaints doing any good as the Auto Maker already has our money so they just turn a blind eye to our problems.

My car is very ragedy. When I first brought it, the steering wheel would vibrate when you press the brakes or get ready to stop. The dealer told me they put a new set of tires on the car, but they were gone by August of 2003. I purchased the car on March 5, 2003. I went out of town for the fourth of July and the tires were bad on the car then. I put a new set on in August and it is now April and they have been bald every since March of 2004. I just had my brakes fixed in February of 2004 and now they are gone too. I'm tired of spending money trying to fix my car and make the payments too. My car also pulls to the right. It has been doing this every since I brought it. I also asked the dealer for a carfax report and they refused to give me one. I believed my car was wrecked.
