They guess they might as well give up the warranty of 3 years/36,000 miles and make it just 30 days. At least it would lower the price of the car. Heck, $1,500.00 of the car purchase just goves to pay for GM's health care benefits.

I like the car, just fix the some details. No one hasany pride in their work anymore...

i love the car but alot of things that needs to be done has alot to do with the operator taking care of his/her ride and being tender with it and not going out there and mudding in it.

if they say the steering shaft is damaged, are they still replacing it?

I take excellent car of my cars. All get TLC and the oil changed every 2,000 miles. My 1917 Model T gets its oil changed twice a year. Made in USA just does not mean much any more... It's sad. The best mechanics do not work at dealerships, only part replacers in IMAO/

Thanks for the sentiments Uncle Space....and now I know my bumper to bumper is 39k and not 36k like the salesman told me.

I am totally puzzled why the "traction control' doesn't save the error codes. Mr. Goodwrench said that I need to bring it in while the service engine light is still on. How stupid is that?

Well, at least my steering and sun roof are now operating smoothly again.

I noticed the TCC was default on. I just try and remember to turn it off. It's very disconcerting when you're trying to get going and because the wheels are slipping a bit all of the sudden the engine is jerking around because of the TCC. I don't know why it would automatically turn it on after you have disabled it, I haven't been able to replicate the problem in my vehicle. Keep me posted if you're able to take it in while it's showing the code, I would be interested to know if I should watch out for this in my car.

Sure will, if it goes off again, I will drive it straight to the mechanic with the service engine light on.
