I have a 2004 Optra, presently transmission fluid seems to be leaking. Any problems with the transmission?
I purchased an Optra 5 in April 2006 and my warranty has just expired (April 09). I have had constant issues with the transmission jumping and despite several visits to GM dealers no one had any answers to fixing it. Now with no warranty the problem persists and the check engine light is almost always on (although sometimes goes out for a day or two!).
My alarm is intermittently going on and off - stays on for about a minute than shuts itself off, sometimes several times a day - seemingly for no reason. I've been standing across the parking lot at work and seen this happen with nothing / no one even remotely close to my car.
Also the gas mileage is pathetic and I seem to be burning out headlights by the week. There is obviously some electrical defect in the make but no one will take responsibility for it.
I have found both GMAC and the dealership where I purchased my vehicle completely unhelpful and can't wait to get out of my car. Problem is that there is NO resale value to this pile of fiberglass.
For those of you who are having a problem with the alarm constantly going off.
The problem is that the sensor for the hood being properly closed is worn a little. All I did was took one of those round sticky pads that you put on the bottom of chair legs, onto the hood where the sensor pushes onto. This way the sensor is pushed down more securely.
It's a small rubber spring that you'll find right in front of you when you open the hood on the right hand side.
