 Check oil light comes on & off manufacturer can't duplicate, when hazard lights are used headlights don't work hazard lights don't work at all now. when roads are wet or weather is damp when you try to stop the car jumps/hops. drivers side window works whenever it feels like it. drivers side lock will not unlock with the switch or the key i had to pull the assembly out so i can push the knob all of the way up before you can get in or out. a/c didnt work when i purchased the car as it was mid jan. when i made the purchase in feb. of 2001 the car started missing really bad it stalled & wouldn't start the exhaust pipe was fire red. there was gas in my oil, it jumped time, fowled out the plugs, one of the cylinders were dead, it needed an ignition coil,timing, belt plugs, some sensor (i cant remember the name of it now) but i can call the mechanic & find out it cost me roughly $600.00 for a friend for repairs now i hear water swishing through the front of the car when i turn, i think it's my water pump as it's over heating & it's making like a grinding noise in the box looking thing below the alternator.the brakes do alot of clunking, and whenever you make a right turn and drive about 1/4 mi. you hear/feel a clunk under the car and the trans. seems to shift a little hard & i can also remove the ignition key while the car is running. i think that is about it. dt

 This is the 4th failure of the front pads. this last failure took place after only ten months of service. the failure also warped the rotors, sheared the anti-lock sensor form its mount. dealer blames failure on a cracked steering knuckle. this constant brake pad failure has been going on since i purchuse this car. this means that the knuckle has been cracked under warranty and prior to my purchase. there is a service bulletin on excesive brake wear for this car but no gm dealer took action based on this. this last failure was the most serious as it involved the pads/rotors, ant-ilock sensor, and steering knuckle. *ak
