2005 Pontiac Wave Hatchback review from North America
"Garbage Metal (GM)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brand new car, door locks freezes every winter.
Tires went at 40000km.
Thermostat goes at every 10000km.
Serpentine belt went at 40000km.
Hood switch went twice before 20000km.
Seat belts sticks at 10000km.
Front speakers went at 20000km.
Front brakes at 40000km.
A/C at 10000km and at 30000km.
Loud popping noise at 5000km, which still cannot be diagnosed.
Transmission sticks in 2nd gear at 5000km in the winter, still hasn't been fixed.
And many more problems.
General comments?
This is my first GM vehicle, and NEVER again will I be buying a GM product. It is the worst vehicle I've ever owned.
GM dealerships suck also in their Customer Service. No wonder they were going out of business, they should have!
