Just finished a 3 year lease and dropped $15000 to close. That was three weeks ago.
The fuel pump just went and will cost another $700. Of course the warranty has expired and we're battling GM and the dealership to fix the piece of crap.
One week ago we had a break job done. Cost $400 because the mechanic found some 'hardened goo' and had to machine the rotors. He figured the dealership put it on so the car could sit longer on the lot.
This is a typical North American car. Not expected to last past the warranty.
Everyone knows it and we still buy the trash. The Japanese cars cost too much because THEY know it as well!
My last car (Ford Taurus) had chronic problems as well after 3 years.
At least one positive note: I love the split seats and the double doors.
Although the transmission sucks and I think the brakes will have chronic problems.
Next time don't take it to a dealer!!!
You can get new rotors for a fraction of that cost, also I would sell you a Fuel pump for under a hundred and install it for less than two hundred. Yor figures are INSANE!!!
ZULATER!!!
