What are some things that just irritate you about your SS/GXP or Super?

I own a GXP, so here are mine

1. Heated Seats do not come on when remote started in cold
2. A/C Auto starts with things on AUTO (Im Cheap)
3. No DOD indication light
4. The high beam indicator light is WAYYY to bright, and even in "Stealth Mode" it stays on.
5. No Trunk Light
6. Torque Steer (Not bad, just gets in the way)


Also, you might own a LS4 if....

you are asked if your car is a s/c v6 on everyday of the month....including the 43 day of the month.

etc.... etc...

Anything that bothers anyone else?

...You gotta replace your tranny every 6 months.

Oh, and I have an SS, so I do have DoD indicator and trunk light.

Way to rub the DOD and TL in too haha.

Is more important to see the drugs you're selling and the hookers you're burying than the engine.

My gxp shows whether the hood or trunk is open on the dic... doors too...

i have gxp and have a trunk light. and im with you on the heated seats, dod light and high beam light

Super LaX

- you tell people you drive a LaCrosse Super and they just scratch their heads and say "Wha....?"
- other drivers ask are those the Pep Boys portholes?
- Who put those exhaust tips on there for ya?
- Why didn't you just wait for the new '10 LaCrosse?

A few other pet peeves.
- HVAC controls are the size of Chiclets and about as easy to operate.
- No DoD indicator light
- rear disc brakes look lost in the 18" wheels
- fog light and high beam indicators are both the same color...green
- no redline on tach (I'm guessing 6100 rpms)
- Titanium interior shows dirt too easily
- too much buffetting when all 4 windows are down (hence Vent Visors)

Aside form those few quirks, I love the car!!

If you get flowmaster 40 series, the incredibly loud helicopter droning in the cabin will inform you that DoD is active. Lol.

Or, just cut the mufflers off it, like I did. It sounds like the Feds are chasing me in a Chinook when it's in 4-banger mode.

Brakes continuously warping(OE replacements twice and never again soon)

Hmm, Odd little creaks and buzzin noises.

Always vibrating/wobbling. Car wobbles slowing down around 20mph an less. Vibrates at 55-68 MPH.

Oh, and how could I forget the trans acting strange......

Alright, Im going to have to check out my trunk for a light. Where is yours located??? When i look inside my trunk all I see is the monsoon amp.

Also, to the right I have a little cubby hole with some netting. I saw a 2007 gxp and there was some electronic box in the place of the whole, what was that?

Do you guys not have an engineering mode like us G8 guys?

xxmerc1914xx

someone put the engine in sideways......

hazards280

No, Nothing that goes that far into detail. Just your typical DIC, Well its actually a "advanced version" but, instant fuel economy, average economy, range, Maximum G's, Trip Meters, And a few other things.

hazards280

The fact that the Maximum G's meter only shows the max's when stopped. No realtime

The backseats are in a whole different world that the fronts. The backing on them is wayyy to stiff compared to the bottoms being so soft. The fronts are just amazing compared. Mind you, I never ride back there, just sat back there once

Hmm, that sucks. We hold down our DIC scroll button at start up and it gives us engineering mode that gives us that information.
