Sep 200725420 mi | Banging noise from under steering wheel on uneven roads. Fixed. Multiple squeaks and rattles, not fixed. Some times, while driving my RPM fluctuates when my foot in off the gas (goes up and down by itself). I didn't see this happening after I got my car back. When my gear shifts while driving I can feel a Hit between shifts they told me they changed some part from the rear area that causes this. It was gone for couple of weeks after I pickup my car but now it's back again. When folding my side mirrors I hear a noise (my side mirror is folded electrically not manual)… they changed them both with new ones... When cold I can feel my engine shake and it goes away when the engine is warm. They told me that it's normal since my car now considered OLD. The handling is not firm as before and I can feel some gap when steering… they didn't find any thing and I'm still having the problem.. I hear whine noise coming from the rear area as if someone is blowing on an empty bottle specially if my rpm @2000 and I'm going 40KM, I can hear it well at night… they didn't fix this and I'm still having the problem.. I noticed my engine cover is scratched on the top front and that indicated that it's touching the hood inner bedding.. They will order a new hood bedding since they're out of stock . Squeaking noise coming from my front doors while driving and it turned out it's coming from my door strikes and since they were out of stock they had to order them and sine I didn't have the time to come back again I had to wait till the next service (40K When riding a big road bump I hear squeaking / scratching sound coming from my front shocks, they said they had the shock replaced on the 20,000KM so it's not possible they're damaged this fast. I'm still having this problem.. | ||
Feb 200831000 mi | During Sep 2007 I suffered from "Banging noise from under steering wheel on uneven roads" and it was fixed, but then I started to experience a squeaking sound instead the banging. It turned out the previous fix was not done properly and some parts under . The same problem I had in Sep 2007 "I noticed my engine cover is scratched on the top front and that indicated that it's touching the hood inner bedding. They will order a new hood bedding since they're out of stock" until now they didn’t get the part. In the early morning when cold I can hear a scratching noise coming from my front suspension when I go over a speed bump. "Squeaking noise coming from my front doors while driving and it turned out it's coming from my door strikes" part was orderd and replaced. The same problem i had in Sep 2007: "The handling is not firm as before and I can feel some gap when steering… they didn't find any thing and I'm still having the problem..." | ||
Mar 200831000 mi | Dealer called me to notify me that the part I was waiting for since Sep 07 has arrived, but while the car in the shop they told me that the part they've got was defected so they need to backorder the part …. | ||
May 200832860 mi | Finally the engine cover bedding I was waiting for since Sep07 has been installed. On uneven roads my brake paddle makes noise. They tighten the clippers, brake paddle, and changes a plastic button behind the paddle. Now it's 60% better. 65% of the time my left HID low beam light Vibrates. It's notable at night and if I'm behind another vehicle at traffic light. I mentioned this problem at least 3 times now but all they did is tighten the bulb. The problem is still there. The rear view mirror vibrates while driving and it gets worse if I'm listening to music. They ordered a replacement part. | ||
Jun 200834100 mi$50 | Finally figured out the problem with the HID vibration, the left side bumper was loss and almost going to fall a part. The plastic clips that hold the bumper in place was broken. They replaced 10 clips. Can't notice any vibration since. Clicking/rattling sound from the engine area (I think), when RPM ~2000 & speed ~30 miles. Sound volume ascends with gas & suddenly disappears when shifts gear. Don't hear it on N or P just on Drive. Not the whining that comes from the differential. Some times after I come back to my car and open the door I can clearly smell the cooling liquid coming from the inside of my car. It turns out water pump is leaking and was replaced under warranty. | ||
Jul 200834100 mi | The "Dynamo" the part which generates electricity went bad and it had to be replaced. | ||
Oct 200837200 mi | My front HIDs, interior lights, A/C LCD flicker. It almost goes away when I press on the gas paddle. They updated the car software system and it's ok now. My RPM fluctuate on idle. They acknowledge the problem but they don’t know how to fix it. They informed GM-USA since many customers complained about this problem. The back of the driver seat is loose. They order the part. I brought my car for the regular maintenance and they informed me that my RR axle is damaged and have been replaced under warranty | ||
