| ** i don't have all the above info available at this time. bought 11/01- hit pothole 12/01, replaced two passenger wheels(bent) and complained of "thumping" noise. dealer 2x claimed not to hear noise. car would not start on numerous occassions starting 5/02. paid 111.00 for rental while dealer inspected. dealer found nothing. next week, failed to start again, 800# tech advice told me about "anti-theft" was acting up and gave me procedures to start car. "anti-theft" system has since quit working. auto in "very minor" fender bender" in 10/02, that week driver door hinge started "crackling", hanging up. insurance company body shop said "no relation" to minor accident. hinge has completely broken and not working at all since then. 7/03 driver power window "fell down" upon attempt to open as normal with power button. other problems have been/are: rear passenger speaker doesn't work, interior light doesn't always work, "" blinkers/emer. flashers"" have quit working properly about 4 to 6 months ago. (this is very dangerous since i live 'up' a blind driveway on a high speed road)?!! 1st week i had the car i noticed motor rattled pretty loudly upon start up. questioned dealer and was told this was "lifter bleed down" and dealer was waiting on gm for remedy, if available. i bought this car as used with new warranty in place, about 23,300 miles on 36/36000 new car warranty as well as bought a 1500.00 extended 5yr/100000 warr. any suggestions, very ticked off and don't know where to turn. | |||

| After researching the service bulletins section of this website, i have come to realize that i have complained/had serviced about 85% of the same problems that are listed on your database. i purchased this car new, from everett chevrolet, wa in 2000. since the purchase. date, i had chevy do the following: new brakes (all the way around - once, front rotors/pads - twice), all new pistons, transmission replaced, miss on #1 cylinder - replaced 1 failed spark plug, left rear door squeaks when open/shut - lubed (has happened 3 times now), front left noise from struts/brakes - not able to verify as of yet (possible strut problem/lube), fan in dashboard has a sound in the middle (just above the cd player/radio) like there is a piece of paper caught in the housing (confirmed after 4 complaints, faulty fan motor), passenger front seat squeaks when occupied (dealerships have not been able to duplicate./fix), rearview mirror rattles while driving at highway speeds (tightened, still does it in hot weather). bottom line, this is my first new car purchase and i am having serious doubts about keeping the car - as it only has 21,405 miles on it. with the 3/30 warranty. coming up in oct. 2003, i am very much afraid that i have purchased a lemon and not looking forward to spending anymore time/$$$ on this vehicle. any suggestions? *jb | |||

| Driver side door clicks loudly while opening/closing, is it a bad hinge? one other person has complained about this. does not feel like a lube problem. afraid bad hinge may break/move causing door to shift. turn indicator works intermittently-saw on your site that there is a recall for the hazard light switch causing this. *jb | |||

| Problems with vehicle's turn signals, door locks and brakes.*mr the check engine light illuminated for six months until the dealership was able to service the problem. the door locks would freeze in the winter time and would open spontaneously while driving. the dealership responded by stating they didn't experience this while the vehicle was being checked. thus, the problem wasn't handled by the company. apparently, the door hinges were never properly greased until the consumer's father did it. this resolved that problem. brakes were rough and unresponsive at times. the turn signal work when they wanted to or when the a/c was on maximum output. the vehicle started to use massive amounts of antifreeze. *ph *jb | |||

| Car suddenly began steering hard to the right and made clunking noises when the steering wheel was turned. discovered that the left side mounting bolt of the steering rack ripped through the rusted out frame cradle, leaving the rack attached by only one bolt. this allows the rack to pivot upwards instead of properly steering the vehicle. the right hand mount is also very rusted and is nearing failure. car has not been repaired at this time, since the entire front frame will need to be replaced. | |||
