WHEN I BOUGHT MY USED 1998 GMC SIERRA 4X4 K1500 TRUCK IN 2003 THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT WORK! I TOOK IT INTO GUS PAULOS CHEVROLET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY WARRENTY THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT SINCE IT WOULD NOT PULL OUT. THATS A 5 YRS OLD TRUCK SO NOW IN 2007 IT GOES OUT AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR IT? THE SERVICE REP SAID "IT ONLY HAS A THREE YEAR WARRENTY".I THOUGHT IT'S A SAFTEY PART/ SAFTEY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD FLIP THE BILL. WHAT IF IT FAILES IN A COLLISION? THE PART IS ON ORDER SO I SHOULD BE GETTING THE PART NEXT WEEK. " I HAVEN'T NEEDED IT DONE TILL NOW SINCE MY DAUGHTER IS OLD ENOUGH TO SIT UPFRONT". *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 PONTIAC G6 WITH ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT, AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRIVING IT, I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT WOULD GO COMPLETLY OUT AND IN MY INFORMATION CENTER IT WOULD SAY POWER STEERING, THEN OTHER TIMES IT WOULD GET VERY LOOSE TO WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, MIND YOU THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT LONGER. PONTIAC CALLED BACK AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK IT UP, THAT THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE, THEREFOR COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. A WEEK LATER IT GOES OUT COMPLETLY AGAIN, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME, I ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. I IMMEDIATLEY PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, I WAS TOLD THAT IF I DIDN'T LIKE THERE SERVICE TO TAKE IT ELSEWHERE, SO I DID. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ELCTRONIC SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE. NOW AT 9,600 MILES THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED AGAIN. *TR

2000 GMC SIERRA PICK UP TRUCK. ABS SENSORS ARE CORRODED AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP PROPERLY. IT WAS IN FOR RECALL 1 AND A HALF YEARS AGO AT 40,000 MILES. NOW AT 48,500 IT IS DOING THE SAME THING WITH ABS. DEALER WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR FOR THE FIX. IN ADDITION THE DEALER NOW WANTS ME TO REPLACE ROTORS THAT ARE UNDER RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILED IN JANUARY OF 2005. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SMALL TOWN WITHOUT A GM DEALER AND WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE GASKET WITH AN AFTER MARKET MANIFOLD GASKET. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT GASKET WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE ENTIRE MANIFOLD TO BE REPAIRED A THIRD TIME. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $829.59. THE CONTACT WANTS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE MANIFOLD WAS DEFECTIVE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 150,000.

I HAVE A 2002 SATURN SL2 AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION TWICE NOW. I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP IN MANCHESTER, NH KNOWINGLY SOLD IT TO ME LIKE THIS SINCE I HAD BROUGHT UP A VERY SLIGHT SPEED UP EFFECT THE CAR HAD TO THE CAR SALES WOMAN, AND SHE HAD TOLD ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR HAD A SLIGHTLY MORE POWERFUL ENGINE THAN THE 4.0 I WAS USED TO (IT HAD A 4.6) AND THE JUMP WAS JUST THE "EXTRA POWER". I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE CAR FOR 18 MONTHS YET. IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP AND I HAVE A PRETTY BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH FROM DEALING WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIPS IN NH AND IN MD. THE DEALERSHIP IN SALISBURY, MD WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3100 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I NOTICED (AFTER THE FACT) THAT THERE WAS SOME TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE BEGINNING IN ALL '02 S-SERIES, BUT I REALLY THINK THAT IF THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE PRODUCT. IT HAS ALREADY COST ME ABOUT $5000 ON TOP OF THE 9,000 THAT I HAVE ALREADY SPENT TO PURCHASE IT (COST OF CAR PLUS BANK INTEREST FOR LOAN). THE CAR IS HARDLY WORTH $14,000 BUT I'M STILL UPSIDE-DOWN ON MY LOAN SO I CAN'T GET RID OF THE THING. I'VE LOOKED INTO THE RESEARCH ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IN HOPES THAT IT WILL GIVE SOME INSIGHT ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY (MORE MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN) BUT SATURN SHOULD REALLY BE REPRIMANDED OR MADE TO REIMBURSE THE CUSTOMERS SOMEHOW. CARS ARE REALLY TOO BIG OF A PURCHASE FOR THINGS TO GO THIS WRONG. *TR
