General comments?
This has been a very difficult vehicle to maintain.
I can't believe how badly GM dropped the ball with this thing.
The unfortunate part about it is no one wants them because of the maintenance history.
It is a good thing that I am a mechanic because the labour costs would have been unbelievable, the part costs were bad enough.
