Door panels and vents are loose.
Windshield wiper arms keep stripping and the hose for the washer fluid keeps falling off the wiper.
I have gone through 5 sets of brake pads in four years and 1 set of rotors.
Other than these minor problems the car did not give me any problems until this year. That problem was the head gasket blowing, filling my engine up with coolant and destroying my engine. Apparantly this is a common problem with the quad 4 engine and the only way to stop it is to use synthetic oil and change it every two months or so.
I will not buy from GM again. Next car...2003 Tiburon!
The only problems that I have had out of my Achieva are the door panels and the vents. It has been a spectacular car for me so far.
This car was an excellent performer until this year. the head gasket went and now the car overheats all the time. the dealer is at a loss for a solution and I'm at a loss to the tune of $2,000 so far. does anyone have a suggestion?
