| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | O2 SENSORS KEEP FAILING. HAD AN INTAKE REPLACED EXACTLY 12MONTHS AGO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON 4 MONTHS LATER, AGAIN JUST TODAY. HIGHLY IRRITATED. WHY IS THIS CAR EATING MY O2 SENSORS? *TR |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I DROVE ABOUT 1 MILE IN CITY DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PARK (DIAGONAL, FRONT END APPROACH) I WAS USING THE ACCELERATOR SLIGHTLY. AS I APPROACHED THE FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, I MOVED MY FOOT TO THE BREAK. DURING THIS MOMENT, THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD. MY FOOT WAS MOVING TOWARD THE BREAK AND UPON BREAKING, THE FORWARD MOTION WAS STOPPED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ABOUT THE SECOND WEEK IN JAN. 2010. THIS REPEATED ON MARCH 7, 2010. I REPORTED THE FIRST INCIDENT TO GM (CASE # 71-799309984) AND TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I JUST LEFT A MESSAGE AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. I HAD A WITNESS TO THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. THE ENGINE DOES INCREASE IN RPM AFTER REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE GAS. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN A 9 WEEK PERIOD. *TR |
