"Garbage American Product"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission at 65k, 2 water pumps, alternator, battery, carnk shaft sensor, paint falling off, intake manifold gasket, air conditioning core, struts, catalytic converter, Engine blew at 226,000km. I wrote to GM in the USA as the Canadian site was down and they said.. Call Canada -

GM I would never buy again. This is from a GM die-hard. Note that my friend has a 2002 oldsmobile in the shop for an engine change due to timing belt break. We cannot accept this quality. Gone to Japan quality!!

General comments?

GM is on the way to the srcap heap.

No offense, but maybe it's your driving habits which brought on these problems. I own 2 Chevrolet Lumina's and they are great cars, no problems. I also own a 14 year old Chevrolet Cavalier with over 200,000 miles on it and it has no problems. GM's are great cars. If its not your driving habits then maybe its the fact that every manufacturer produces its share of defective vehicles.

I had a 96 and I did not care for it at all. both heads were cracked and it did a weeble wobble. That was enough to turn me away from them. I do find chevy cars to be pretty nice just not for me anymore.
