| 15000 mi | "Snapping" sound from front when turning tight circles. Diagnosed as a bad CV joint. This "problem" has been present for a while - maybe always. With the state of GM, I decided to have it looked at now rather than closer to warranty expiration. |
| 16000 mi | Vehicle was inspected in the shop in December and the necessary part for the repair was ordered. The part arrived very late in the month. A day in January was scheduled for the repair, which was performed on schedule. |
