I also own a 2004 Epica bought it in 2005 had 6 kilometers on it. The right passenger rear upper controller arm had to be replaced back in the summer of 2005. Up to the end of the warranty 100,000 no issues. The warranty ran out all issues with rear suspension started. Left rear upper controller arm replaced 2 months ago right side then the right rear Knuckle. Now today I had to replace the right rear upper controller arm in total after warranty it repair bills $1,161.00 CDN. Disappointed and the next make will be a different manufacturer.
In response to Sandra's problem with key. I had the same problem with my Epica. To repair, it cost me $120.00 for a locksmith. He removed the key chamber and replaced the guts of it.

I bought my Epica 3 months ago, and I have had so many problems. Every time I take the car to the dealer, it's not covered by the warranty, and I am not happy with the car.
I have a 2004 Epica, which I purchased new. I have had most of the previously mentioned problems, plus a few others, namely no headlights or driving lights (this can cause an extremely dangerous situation, also the brakes make a squeaking sound. This sound is a rubber sound, not a metal sound. Seemingly neither of these issues can be repaired.
I have always been a GM person, have purchased several new GM vehicles, however, I believe this will be my last GM.
