"Too many repairs and recalls"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At 6 months the fan clutch went out.

My lights were always going out, once a month. The light assembly was recalled and they were replaced, but I still carry 6 bulbs at all times.

My rear window leaked.

My mirrors went in all directions and were recalled, but still do it.

It has been in the shop 20 times.

Last month it wouldn't start and the wiper assembly had to be replaced. In the shop 12 days, $865.00 rental, that the dealer refused to pay.

Last Tuesday they replaced my tie bar.

Thursday my rear end went out, it's still in the shop.

Thank God, I purchased an extended warranty. Love the ride, love the car, but not the headaches.

General comments?

There is wind noise from the windows.

Did you have a GM extended warranty? I thought that included a car rental. Maybe my memory is wrong on that.

I haven't had any problems with my 2004 TB, but I have read of many problems with them prior to 2004, with 2002 as the worst year. If shopping for a used one, I wouldn't consider anything older than 2004.
