I just got this car in January and have 4 plus years of payments to make and I had to fork out $1100 on repairs for the intake manifold and the water pump. The mechanic told me, oh this is a common problem with GM cars. If its common, why hasn't it been resolved?? I picked up my car last night and now, my power steering is out. Not sure if they are related, or if the mechanic shop screwed up something.
The problem with the car before the repair was that it was overheating, loosing coolant constantly, and the heater was blowing cold air, so I had no choice but to get it fixed.
I'm a single mom, so this was a major hurt in the pocket book.
I miss my nissan that got totaled (which is why I have the chevy now.)
