2004 Chevrolet Epica Reviews - Page 3 of 6

My rear wheel bearings.

My right rear spindle bushings.

My transmission lines rusted out.

My brakes, which is basic wear and tear.

My converter.

My wipers have a mind of their own.

My heater is on hot and will not come back to cool.

My valve cover seals leak oil into spark plug wires, causing a miss.

I like the car to drive. It seems OK, but have had a lot of issues and spent a lot of money on repairs compared to my old 1996 Lumina. It seemed to go forever without any issues, unlike this piece of crap car. I done some research, and the car is NOT AT ALL A GM product!!! The actual make of the car is DAEWOO (made in Korea). If this had of been brought to my attention in the first place, I would have not purchased this crap car!!!

Wheel bearings.

Traction control.

Brake rotors.

Steering.

Electronics.

Stalling.

I've had this car for 5 years, 120,000 kms. It started stalling just after the warranty was up.

It's always been serviced by the dealer. The service people are always ignorant and extremely rude when we try to have it fixed. I can't believe GM allows their service departments to treat customers so poorly.

I've always been a die hard Chevrolet guy, but I'll never buy a GM again due to this junk car and ridiculous service.

Engine sputters.

Had to replace transmission and gear shift.

When shifted into Drive, it sometimes went into reverse and vice versa.

Replaced rear drivers side brake light 4 times.

When parked for long periods of time (24 hrs),the engine would not turn over until one played with the gear shift for several minutes.

Biggest lemon on the market.

Tried as all heck to get GM to buy it back. We didn't succeed, and now we're stuck with a $26,000 sour lemon.

While driving normally, the throttle will start acting very erratic, revving up and down approx. 800 to 1200 rpm. If you stop and turn off the ignition, it will then reset itself and drive normally for a couple months.

I have had it to my dealership on numerous occasion, and am told every time, there is no other Epica in North America experiencing this type of problem. They say they cannot get a code unless the car is having the problem at that specific time, and have not been able to duplicate it. I have explained to General Motors the importance of reliability of our car due to health problems, but I am told that's why I have roadside assistance.

This is a great car when it is running properly, but it's not very reliable.
