Would like opinions please (car problems) I bought my car last August with only 13km (8miles?). Anyway ever since I drove it off the lot I've had nothing but problems.
An annoying vibration between 1500 to 3000 rpms, even higher at highway speeds(BTW GM engineers are looking into how to fix this problem). Had my horn replaced twice due to heavy rain fall, still doesn't sound right. An exhaust seal broken between my Y pipe and muffler, causing the left side of my exhaust to rattle. Driver side windshield washer jet shoots over the car, missing the windshield. Clutch spring squeeking eventually broke off, right after it was re-installed at the dealer it broke, twice I might add. Strange ideling rpms dropping to 400 jumping up to 500 then 750 and back down to 400, causing instrument lights and head lights to dim (only happend twice). And recently I took my car to the dealership complaining that my engine did not sound right, they found the there was something wrong with on of the rocker arms (what? I still don't know)they're still waiting on GM engineers for that one too. Basicly I've been hounding GM with E-mails and still no reply, not even a reply stating that they've gotten the e-mail.
I guess the real thing thats bugging me is that its still under 10000KM (6250 Miles?) <img src="graemlins/gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0" alt="[very mad]" />
Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks for any help provided.

Re: Would like opinions please (car problems) Now don't get me wrong, I love my car and I am keeping it. But these cars a built like S*&^. Mine lives at the dealer, to many problems to list, including repainting half the car. This is the real reason of the lack of sales and the demise of the F-body. It is very sad and disappointing I know. Good luck....Rick
Re: Would like opinions please (car problems) All U.S. carmakers will put out a few lemons. You probably have a car that a lazy *** Union worker got their hands on. Most likely had to throw it together before they went on the weekly strike <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" /> Mine just turned 32k miles and the only problem is a broken gear for the headlight motor (usual problem).
