2004 Chevrolet Epica LS review from North America

"Worst car I ever bought, more repairs than anything I've EVER owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It would be easier to list the items that have NOT been fixed on this lemon. There are no lemon laws in Canada so unfortunately I'm out of luck. The good news is when I do buy a brand new one, I know who NOT to see. That would be any Chevy dealer in the world. This is what has been replaced so far:

Oil pressure sensor

head cylinder

engine

computer for transmission

catalytic converter

power steering pump

arm assembly, front control, lower left

arm, rear suspension trailing - both

rear door - replaced TWICE! Still not good

knuckle assembly - rear wheel - both

column assembly - steering

powertrain control module engine reprogram with sps

hinge - rear door left upper replace

pipe, power steering hydraulic

arm assembly again - front control - lower, both

receiver, radio/mp3 player twice! (volume still no good)

hoses, nozzles or stops, wiper front

system software upgrad - reprogram ECM

bearing and hub assembly front left wheel

trim assembly, front door - right

arm assembly again (so far 3 times) front control lower right

lever shift

link or bushings, front stabilizer shaft at control arm

lower lamp switch

cover pad, front seat cushion right

reprogram ECM again.

Well, apparently the person who originally bought the car purchased the extended GMPP warranty. When I bought it, they sold me another warranty without telling me that it already had one. For no cost, they could have told me about it and transferred it to me. Instead I purchased one not as good for almost $3,000.00. Nice.

Now, they tell me that none of these things are covered under the warranty any long as it is past the 60,000 km mark. (almost...no kidding) every issue noted above is not working again.

Anybody know what recourse I can take to right all the wrongs with this crappy car?

It's also a pig on gas, about half the mileage I was told it should get.
