"A high performance rip off"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My steering was always off. I later found out my front driver side wheel was bent. One day I was racing on I-290 and I was doing about 98-100mph and I heard what sounded like a loud rattle come to find out my oil pan came off, the GM guys forgot to tighten it up after my oil change. Why did they need to take off the pan??? My car is in the shop now because my brake line is broken. Water leaks in at the top of my windshield. Water leaked into my trunk and I had over $2500 in audio equip. MY hood latch dose'nt work. My driver side door does'nt work, opens up at high speeds.

Over all this car sucks.

General comments?

I'm not sure what the point of the author is. Is he blaming his problems on the oil change technicians and taking it out on the car?

1. It clearly sounds like he's the type of driver you would never want to buy a car from.

2. The problems he mentioned (other than the oil change issue) do sound quite minor and could be fixed with minor adjustments.

3. If he expects to find the PERFECT new car (I assume he bought it new), I would say good luck - even with an import.

It sounds as if the fault lies in the driver and not the vehicle. I haven't had those kinds of problems with my 98 GP GT--and I bought it used. Normal wear ant tear. Besides, driving/racing at 98 MPH is dangerous. I hope the driver had enough sense to be on a race track. I love my GP GT! Pure diving excitement! A real Black Beauty!

I'd like to know where I can get a Grand Prix like yours with the 3.6L engine. Because my GTP has a 3.8 Supercharged and I hear that 3.6 makes 304 HP in the 2010 Camaro.
