"LEMON!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Dash is wrinkling and turning color.

Air Conditioner doesn't work on first 4 settings.

Tires make a rubbing noise.

Seats are cracking badly.

Alternator went out at 22,000 miles.

Rotors done 2 times.

Pass-lock won't let me start the car half the time.

Coolant leak.

Oil leak.

Passenger side window clips broke and motor went out.

Occasionally the speedometer will go all the way to the right and stay there.

Now the engine is making a loud noise that sounds like a helicopter.

General comments?

And the car is only 1/2 paid for... I will NEVER AGAIN own a GM. This car isn't even worth what I owe, and have paid to have it fixed.

I know the loud helicopter noise you are speaking of. I had it in my car as well. Finally had to take it apart to have a look, well the CV shaft was loose (changed it), brake pads shot (changed them) and bearing was in bad shape (changed that). Funny thing is they changed that same bearing a year before. After they fixed all the problems above, the noise was gone. Had a mechanic check it out the first time and he said it wasn't the bearing, they were fine. So not too sure what it was from. Hope this helps you.
