2002 Holden Commodore S review from Australia and New Zealand
"Slow cheap creaks squeaks why bother"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belt slip causing squeaking sound at 59000. Puller needing replacing. Seat belt did not retract properley . Interior creaks and rattles. Oil consumption, piston slap. Breaks scrubbed whilst driving. Very poor tire wear.
General comments?
I bought this vehicle second hand private sale. It chewed oil I serviced had it every 5000kms. It handles quite poorly, the suspension feels every minor bump. Rattles and trim creak, i took this vehicle to holden to have the puller and belt replaced. They palmed me off regarding the piston slap until the warranty ran out. Should of never sold my ef2 Fairmont for this late model over priced holden commodore garabge.
