| 65700 mi | IPOD adapter that I paid extra for when I purchased the car no longer worked. I was told that they no longer make the part that was broken, so they could not fix it. OnStar system no longer working. Was told it needed to be replaced and would cost approximately $1,500. Popping noice from left speakers. I was told the cost would be $638.56 to replace the speakers and if that didn't resolve the problem they would then have to replace the amplifier for a total of $1,113.12. |
