| 2006 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:HEATER CORE | THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACTUATOR THAT MOVES THE FLAP IN THE HEATER/AC CASE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT NOT TO BE RELEASED INTO THE CAR, JUST COLD AIR. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT GM NEEDS TO SEE THIS ISSUE AS A FAULT OF THE PART. THE REPAIR FOR THIS UNIT REQUIRES COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE DASH BOARD. I HAVE GOTTEN QUOTES FROM 900-1500 TO REPAIR THIS PART AND THEY DO NOT SAY THAT ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR |
| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | APRIL 15TH, 2010 OUR IGNITION WOULDN'T KICK OVER. IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN THREE TIMES TO KICK OVER. I TRIED CONDITIONING THE SPARK PLUG AND IT DIDN'T HELP. (WE JUST LIVED WITH THE PROBLEM) JUNE 2011 WE HAD OUR FIRST ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THE RADIO WAS THE FIRST TO GO IN MAY. THEN IN JULY OUR A/C STOPPED WORKING, AND ALL WE HAD LEFT WAS OUR HEAT. WE WERE ABLE TO FIX THE A/C, BUT IT DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG. WE THEN LOST A/C AGAIN AND OUR RADIO STARTED WORKING IN AUGUST(2011). SHORTLY AFTER THE RADIO STARTED WORKING WE LOST HEAT. NOW WE HAVE ONLY THE RADIO THAT WORKS. WE CANNOT SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE HEAT NOT WORKING. THE VISIBILITY IS COMPLETELY HORRIBLE! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT WOULD COST US 1,500 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT! WE HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS YET AND IT'S STATING TO BREAK DOWN! THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE!!! *TR |
