General Comments:

GM cannot ignore this nightmare of a car that bears their logo.

They need to offer a fair trade at the very least.

Faults:

Minor oil leak somewhere in EGR system... (smell burnout oil, but the car doesn't take oil).

Mysterious clunking in the front end.

Not very reliable brakes. Worst ABS system ever, and the traction control system is completely useless in more than 1 inch of snow.

Engine light lights up time to time.

General Comments:

Very comfortable ride.

Great torque for the more hilly terrains.

Very good paint.

Extremely reliable, unless you don't maintain it, then it's a nightmare!

Decent audio system for a Chevy.

Have routine maintenance done every 6 months, and I have no doubt the car will run for many, many years.

Faults:

TCS button jammed and had to be taken apart.

General Comments:

Plenty of room, and very comfortable.

It's a "dummy proof" car; every time you turn anything on or off, it beeps at you. It can get annoying.

Parts easy to get a hold of.

Smooth ride, handles great, a very durable car.

It's a slightly heavier car, so it goes through snow without getting stuck.

My name is Lance, I am from Edmonton, Alberta. I have owned my 2004 Epica LS for 3 years now. I had not many problems in the beginning, until recently when I noticed the car start vibrating very violently. Changed the spark plugs in it; still vibrates. Also went to my local dealer, and found out that my fuel level sensor in it is broken.

I have had the heat control go in it, like one day last year I turned the heat control from cold while the fan was off, to hot all of a sudden. It stayed cold, took it to the dealer, and they found out that the cable going to the heat control on the dash had worn out. Cost me $240.00, and the part itself was only 11.00.

There's this vibration I am experiencing. I have been driving it, because I can't afford to fix it right now. If it helps, while I was changing the sparks, I noticed oil in the seat of spark plug on the passenger side of the car. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong with this, as I am scared one day it will say to hell with you, I am going to stop working, thanks.

General Comments:

This car's overall performance is awesome. Before my problems it ran very well. Handles like a tamed pussy cat. For the type of car I was looking for, it drives awesome. A family car is what I was looking for.

I would recommend this car to everyone, but I would make a suggestion of getting it checked out before buying, to make sure that you have the dealership you are buying it from inspect it, so that nothing is wrong with it in the first place.
