...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

2003, V-6 with 32,000 miles

no problems so far, for me at least, but I purchased it 23000 on it!

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 3.4L

26715KM steering gear replaced (under warrenty)
33049KM front pads replaced, machined rotors
45889KM intake leak (Goodwill)
49000KM replace front rotors and pads, new parking brake control.

and i just turned 50,000Km, switching to synthetic!

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. :blink:

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

'99 3.4
bought it with 37k miles I've had it for 2 years now
38k bad water pump
42k broke driver side spring(monroe muffler wanted $850 to fix this got it done at another shop for $90)
45k bad power steering pump
54k bad bearing
55k replaced brake pads
now has 56k

I have a 2003 2.2L Ecotec with 18K

10k The air bag had to be replaced because the horn was getting stuck.

16K Front Rotors and brake pads were replaced.

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 :eek: (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...

2000 V6

3000 miles transmission coolant line leaking (dealer fixed)
10000 miles car would turn itself off and on while driving (dealer fixed)
30000 miles hazard switch recall fixed
43000 miles hazard switch recall fixed again (don't know why)
46000 miles (right now) working on a leaking power steering pump and just had a fuel leak fixed

cant remember the exact miles
2000 3400

67,000 miles replaced brakes
45,000 had to replace tie rod
somewhere in there- damage control sensor damaged
and turn signals have a mind of their own, sometimes work and sometimes dont.

hey theres a recall on that (turn signals) during this quarter supposedly of this year im calling gm prolly like this week to scedule the fix

MILES = 45,000

PROBLEMS = ZERO

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.

2001 2.4 I had the a/c-heater fixed under warranty..would only work on high. I had the hazard switch replaced under a recall last September. I don't remember the mileage but I do have 60,600m now. No other problems that I can remember.

2002 v6, bought it almost exactly one year ago with 24k on it, now at 38k. only problem I have is my power windows are kinda screwy, the driver side one is almost off the track and the passenger side scrapes on the way up. big ol' nasty scratch in the glass now... driver side started in january, passenger side in february.

So theres no-one with 100K yet? I figured somebodys gotta have a 99 with around that for miles.

42k miles, Intake gasket AGAIN! And I was mistaken, the first one went at 40k miles, not 36k.

99 3400- 118500 miles

Can't recall exact milages of the problems but heres the list

Major stuff:
1. Intake gasket leak (around 55,000 mi)
2. Water pump
3. Alternator
4. Electrical problem (wires were grounding out against the Cat Conv)
5. Cat Conv replaced (around 83,000 mi)
6. Transmission Slipping (around 88,000 mi)
7. Wheel Bearing about to go out.

Minor Stuff:
1. Brakes and rotors
2. Parking brake doesn't engage unless it is all the way up
3. Other non-mechanical problems

99 2.4 Only 45,000 miles

I have had the car for almost 2 years, it had 17,000 miles on it when I bought it.

25,000 - all rotors and brake pads replaced

Only other problem is the turn signal problem.

Woa. You folks seem to be having a string of bad luck... My car has 36,000 miles on it and only one problem. My domelight. Ever since I changed the bulb it won't come on all the time. when I open the doors, keyless unlock or just go to turn it on in the car while driving it won't always turn on without giving it a little tap. but that's my fault. I say, perform more preventive maintenance on your vehicles! Know what could go wrong before it does go wrong. Can't stress that enough.

2001 GLS 3.4

15,000- Changed front rotors & pads (stock ones SUCK)
20,000- Got rear-ended (still havn't gotten the bumper replaced :(
30,000- Power steering pump replaced (covered by warr)
42,000- Manifold Gasket leak (covered by warr)
50,000- replaced rear rotors and pads

I change my own oil every 3k to 4k.

I change the oil every 3,000 miles. My boyfriend is a mechanical engineer, and his dad is a mechanic. I have one of them look under the hood about once a month, or whenever I hear a funny noise or anything feels different. You really can't prevent rotors or wheel bearings from going. I know when they are getting to needing to be replaced, so I haven't had any problems. I also caught "the leak" before I lost any noticeable oil or coolant.

2001 V6 GL Coupe. 43k miles (bought new)

All fixed under warranty. (most were TSB's)

1. Standard gasket leak (leak also wrecked the starter motor which was replaced)
2. Blower motor card
3. Scratches on drivers side window
4. Loose rear window molding.
5. Front brakes - rotors turned, pads replaced
6. Front bushings replaced due to noise
7. Hazard light switch replaced.

Not sure on the mileage on these. A couple other minor items were fixed as I recall (under warranty)

2001 v6 bought with 32000 on it
no problems until 40k then lower intake manifold gasket leak (warranty)
replaced new brakes/rotors all wheels
42000 security system prevented car from starting, needed replacing (warranty)
45000 power steering pump toast (warranty)
46-55000 replaced brake pads
53000-driver window regulator gone, caused glass to drop into window .. dealer took 3 days to get me into the place, then kept my car for a week because they said they couldnt get the part, where then i went in and raised hell and the tech came over and "mysteriously" found the part sitting around (warranty)
58000- recall on hazard carrier (warranty)
58000-lower intake manifold gasket leak again (warranty)
58000-right outer tie rod end replaced (warranty)
58000-right front wheel speed sensor open, right front hub assembly replaced (warranty)
oil change and wheel alignments from previous work (not covered under warranty)
i know i had some more stuff done in the 46000-55000 range but i cant remember
everything.

03 3.4

intake manifold @28k, engine also had skip in it while in for that repair

2003 V6-3400

No problems yet... but I've only had it for about a month or so. It has 33,000km on it thus far.

2003 3.4L

26,000 Destroyed 2 rims on s.e. MI roads.
-4 new wheels

-1 new strut
-1 new rear strut nuckle

29,500 New front pads. Turned front rotors.

Currently 29,945
(crossing my fingers on that intake gasket)

2000 2.4L

113k km's

hubs replaced every 10 000k(goin on 3rd time now)
new coil at about 90 000k (each wire comin outta there was sparkin to each other)
i think thats it(even tho this crap cost me 1400$ :pissed: )

99 2.4

22,000 miles replace rotors

26,000 driver seat frame broke

89,000 rear defogger switch not working. need new heater controls.

Anybody notice that it's almost always the 3400 guys who are always replacing their front rotors? *cough*frontheavyjunk*cough* :popcorn:

Not just 3400..I have the Ecotec and I had to have my rotors replaced at 16k.

Or maybe it's just that we can go faster, so we have to brake harder. :P

My n-car's Eco-Techs all 4 of them would get rotors about every 4-5K miles. Yes I was hard on them but it was all in a days work.

Yeah you 3.4 people can go faster, but only when your cars aren't in the shop getting the intake gasket repaired. :lol: Sorry I could not resist.

^^^LMAO

It's a joke people.

I think maybe final was meaning the wheel hub.

nah I meant brake rotors but it was just a joke :P
