"A smooth car, but so fickle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Sticking throttle pedal,new throttle body at 330 pounds.

Front pads 60 pounds.

Cigar lighter blown.

All at 22000 miles.

Erratic idling at 28000 miles, pounds?

Blown instruments lamp on right side.

Grating sound from front discs although not mentioned by me or dealer at service.

General comments?

I have to say up to the present my dealer has sorted all faults, the throttle body was replaced under warranty.

But I am worried as this new idling fault witch developed last month seems very common, but unsolvable.

Still I have a few weeks on my warranty left.

I love the ride of this car, although it seems sluggish with four people compared to my old 2 litre automatic cavalier.

Get the EcoTec idle speed control valve checked out. This should stop that happening.
