1993 Chevrolet Corsica LT review from North America
"Good car when preventive maintenance is regular"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ceiling liner started to come loose around 75,000 miles.
Persistent oil leak took many trips to the shop and a lot of money to finally pinpoint.
The idle auto-relearn techniques do not work. When the battery is removed or unplugged for any reason I must take the car to the shop to manually reprogram the computer chip.
Will not hold a wheel alignment for more than 2 months before it starts to pull to the right again. I just replaced the front struts and tie rod as per the shop saying it was loose with about an inch worth of play keeping the alignment from holding. We'll see if this works.
General comments?
The car has done well for the whole. I believe if I had bought it new and known what it had gone through as it aged I could have kept it up better than it is.
