| 2005 | VISIBILITY | ONE DAY AFTER AROUND 2 WEEKS OF BUYING MY CAR, I STARTED TO HEAR STRANGE NOISES INSIDE THE REAR CAR DOOR PANELS EVERYTIME I LOWER OR RAISE THE WINDOWS. ONE DAY I WAS AT WORK ABOUT TO GO TO LUNCH, SO I GOT IN MY CAR' TURNED IT ON THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY AT THE SAME TIME LOWERING MY WINDOWS TO AIR OUT THE HOT AIR BUILD UP, THEN AFTER A MINUTE OR SO AS I WAS DRIVING I STARTED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS' SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SEEN THAT MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT THERE.... I WENT TO A SERVICES STATION WHERE HAD ONE OF THE WORKERS CHECK IT OUT AND ADVISED ME THAT THE WINDOW HAD JUST FALLEN INTO THE DOOR... I HAD THEM TEMPORARILY CLOSED THE WINDOW AND LOCK IT IN PLACE UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED.... A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT' MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE EXACT SAME THING... AFTER IT WAS GETTING ROLLED UP DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE EMERGENCY LANE TO PULL THE WINDOW UP AND LOCK IT IN-PLACE THE SAME WAY I HAD THE OTHER ONE DONE.. I HAD IT CHECK OUT AND AN ESTIMATE WAS GIVEN BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR |
| 2004 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE SELECTED SIGNAL DOES NOT FLASH WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED AS IF THE BULB IS BURNT OUT. WENT TO THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE BULB THREE TIMES, BUT, THE BULBS WERE GOOD. AFTER REPLACING BULB THE SIGNAL STILL DID NOT WORK. AFTER, SEVERAL WEEKS IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. A MONTH OR SO LATER THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AND TOOK TO DEALER AND AGAIN THE BULB WAS REPLACED THIS TIME THE BULB WAS BURNT OUT. THE SIGNAL WORKED FOR 2 MONTHS AND WENT OUT AGAIN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM CAR. MY DEALER CALLS IT THE MYSTIFYING CAR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT GM WILL NOT ADMIT TO. SHAME ON GM, NO WONDER AMERICANS ARE GOING FOREIGN. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS BULB IS $85.00 EACH TIME. |
