: the contact stated while at a stop, the vehicle lunged forward without warning. This was an intermittent problem and the dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. Also, there was a ticking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The dealership determined there were metal shavings in the rear suspension. The rear axle, tie rod, and other components were replaced. In addition, the brake pedal went to the floor when depressed. The dealership readjusted the parking brake and the problem ceased. Also, while traveling 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted and the dealership determined the lifters in the engine needed to be replaced. In addition, the front driver side window did not also close completely. This has not been inspected by the dealership. Updated 10/31/2006 - the consumer has met with a GM rep. GM has agreed to buy back the vehicle but negotiations are ongoing.
