...I tried to search for this, but came up with nothing...hopefully it hasnt been done before.

Just list your year, engine, mileage, and any major problems youve had along the way. If no problems, list the mileage anyway..

I'll start it off,



2001, 3400 V-6, 36,000miles

faulty oil sending unit at around 20K, small water leak into drivers side back seat floor. Bad front rotors, and now....intake gasket leak.

2000 3.4V6
15,000 - EGR valve "stuck open"
20,000 - Front pads, all rotors turned
38,000 - Right front hub
45,000 - Front pads and rotors
58,000 - Intake Gasket, new wires and coil
67,000 - Needs: left front hub, front rotors, all pads, repaint hood
Those are miles, and are approximate, I don't exactly remember

1999 V6

36k Standard 3400 gasket leak
41k Tie rod snaps, thus causing me to spin off road and destroy all the right front suspension.
42k Need new front rotors and pads, not immediately, but I need them within the next couple of months.

Now the question is, power slot rotors or powerstop cross drilled rotors?

I had the gasket leak thing too I think this needs to be investigated and we deserve a refund for this bullpoop. GM is about a half a second away from me seeking into a class action lawsuit. There is a tsp on this but not a recall......I think thats bullpoop. Once again we find GM lacks responsibility and quality......However I love my car and the community associated with it because thats what it is,.......MY CAR

2000 2.4L

about 39000 miles: washer fluid gasket/grommet disintegrated when the battery was changed (it was apparently the wrong size...)
about 42000 miles: rear window regulator breaks

and at slow speeds AND gentle braking, the left front makes a whistle.

currently approaching 44000 miles, and no mechanical issues under the hood so far. :thumbsup:

2001 GLS 2.4L

4 miles - right headlight bulb kept blowing out (literally shattering).
Dealership replaced wiring after four tries.

4 miles - right heater duct didn't work (no hole was made in the duct).
Dealership replaced.

5000 miles - Heater control box replaced (stopped working).

11,000 miles - right rear speaker blown
dealership replaced

11,500 miles - right rear speaker blown again
dealership replaced (even after saying it wasn't blown, but it was)

11,600 miles - yet again right rear speaker blown
yet again the dealership said it wasn't blown
and after arguing for about an hour, I went to
an audio shop and they said it was blown and I
had the wiring and both rear speakers replaced
(2 - Alpine Type R 6" x 9") no problems since

23,000 miles - head unit goes bad
dealership said there was nothing wrong with it (except the
fact it didn't work at all) and after calling GM, they
finally replaced it with one that wouldn't play cd's
so they replaced it again with one that you couldn't read the
display panel, and after they replaced that one ,I replaced it
with an Alpine CDA - 7894 and no problems since

Going on 69,000 miles - no other problems except cosmetic damages along the way :thumbsup:

i laughed my ass off when i saw this

anyway

99 2.4L
got it with 46000 on it in '02
now has 89000 (i travel a lot :rolleyes: )

no real problems :knockonwood:

replaced the front and rear brakes once since i've had it, fronts need changed soon

the guage cluster used to cut out when i first got it, but it stopped doing that

the tranny would slip and "trac off" light would come on in winter when i'd gun it up a hill without warming it up first

um, the front driver's side wheel fell off, but that was due to overtightening of the lugs on the mechanics end; snapped the bolts. with that came new strut, brake assembly, rotor, fender, side skirt, and i think that's it...

bought my car in april 2002 36k.....

2 years later im on about 57k i believe.

not 1 problem.

and i dont think people should list brakes as problems. yes the stock brakes suck....... but something like that is normal wear and tear on a vechical. not a problem

I consider it a problem when it happens at 16K and is fixed under warranty.
