Consumer Description

SERVICE ENGINE PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING. ALMOST EVERY EXHAUST-RELATED COMPONENT WAS REPLACED BEFORE A NEW COMPUTER CUT DOWN ON THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAD AN EPISODE OR TWO AFTER THAT INSTALLATION, BUT HAVE HAD NO EPISODES IN TWO YEARS NOW. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT I KNEW ABOUT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THAT ONE AND IT WAS FIXED FOR FREE. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BUTTON DIED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, BUT IT WAS REPLACED FREE UNDER WARRANTY. MORE RECENTLY TWO WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM. I AM LIVING WITH MY POWER WINDOW PROBLEMS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY TO HAVE TWO MOTORS REPLACED. NO WINTER PROBLEMS IN THE WINTER. MOST RECENTLY MY LENS COVER ON THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT FELL OFF. IT COST ME OVER $100 FOR AN AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT AND HOME INSTALLATION, BUT GM WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $250 PLUS LABOR.
