i just want to say that i like my car alot and everything,but this car is really starting to piss me off. I'm really getting tired of putting money into this dang car! I have put over 1000.00 dollars into this car and i have put more in to get this dang car to work right ! THIS CAR IS A PISS POOR DESIGN FOR THE UNDER BODY!!!!!!! THE PARTS ARE MADE VERY CHEAP!!!!! Like the sway bar for an example and tie rods, bushings ,and wheel bearings etc.

My mechanic says that they do these repairs every week. Have to leave the car there for a day and a half. At least I get my 100,000 mile plugs changed for free. This seems to be a very well establish problem with these cars. I am sure the recall never happened because it is so expensive and time consuming to fix.

just replaced the catalytic converter and mechanic told me to find out soon what caused it to fail . i was out of state and car felt like it was pulling a semi. would not accelerate past 35 mi per hour. any way, when i got home, i took i to my local certified mechanic and without opening the hood, he said it was the intake manifold gaskets. sure enough. he was right. he said it was a very common problem with these cars he himself owns one and had to replace his gaskets at around 50k. mine has 62k or 66k cant remember which. so now i have to cough up $1000 more to fix gm's known problem. this will make it or break it for me. if there is not a recall soon, i will switch to jap cars.
