"Engineered junk!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

#1 Head and intake gasket problem due to anti-freeze eating out the gaskets and filling the crankcase too overflow, anti-freeze maker/auto maker situation, wow!!! Maybe it's a mad cow!! PLEASE READ BELOW FOR A NICE WAY TO SPEND YOUR DAY.

#2 Ignition Tumbler, stopped at destination, motioned for the key, not there, check pockets?? cars still running, wait, keys on floor??? Shut car off, windows down/nice day, riders do their intended business and return, can't start car, starts to rain, OOPS!!! Windows down, no power, call locksmith 4 hr wait, remove door panel, strip required wires and connect window motor to battery, get window up, car and I are soaked, all on first day at new job, should have missed the coffee stop!

Locksmith too lengthy to mention, blood pressure critical, COST $300.00 with only 3 pins or whatever in the tumbler now, car thief's dream, but wait who would steal it??? THANK YOU OVER!!

General comments?

Body designed to pick up road debris, sand, salt, water, the amazing mixture or rust and rot, especially around the gas tank inlet, oops!!! Safety issue here??? Where is Ralph???...

Now the body suits the engine and driveway, flowing with a grayish brown oil slick/streak with the consistency of baby poop!!! Oops.

Welcome to the club!! My 2000 Malibu was a piece of crap too. Had the famous intake leak!! Coolant gelled up!! Had to replace radiator because it was clogged with the crap coolant! Transmission failure! Replace both front wheel bearings TWICE in 3 months!! Brakes warp if you look at them wrong. Door panels falling apart! Tie rod ends falling apart. I only had mine for 7 months too!! Waste of money.
