I started having problems a year after I finished paying off the car. YEP! Sooo I'm really pissed, right!! First I noticed the car had this clicking sound and seem like it was dragging like it wasn't in the right gear. So I took it to the dealer. I was told it was the Timing chain. I paid for that to be fixed at a Whopping price of $1,900.00, out of pocket. Right after that, I noticed that the air conditioner wasn't coming on when turned on. I took it to the dealer. I was told it was the Catalytic converter. Paid for that out of pocket at $1,200.00.
Then a couple of months later I hear this knocking sound. Stop at light or a stop sign, and my car is jerking some kind of awful. The car was jerking so bad I was scared that I was going to hit some one from behind. Back at the dealers again! Now I'm told it's the excessive engine oil consumption. WOW!!! It seems as if I can't catch a break! My only transportation. Yelling from the top of my head, what am I to do now? I really feel cheated by General Motors!
