1. The wiper arms constantly came loose from the spindles. I had to keep tightening the set screw on them but it would come loose again. Nothing I did would keep those damn things locked onto the spindle.
2. The headlights would turn off for no reason. The dealer had the car for a week and replaced the multi-function turn signal arm at a cost of about $900. Less than a year later the same problem with the headlights began again. The only way I could get them to stay on would be to tilt the steering wheel to it's full up position. Try driving a car with the tilt wheel in that position.
3. The door locks constantly played with themselves. Clicking and clicking over and over again while driving. They would also click constantly even while the car was garaged all night. I'd come in in the morning and the battery would be dead because the locks activating would keep the interior lights turned on and drain the battery. Numerous visits to the dealer could never resolve this situation.
On New Years Day 2011 I dumped the miserable thing and bought a Ford F150. I will never go back to Government Motors.
Later I heard it caught fire down on Rt. 7 — to this day I feel sorry for the person who bought it from us, but at least I can say with full honesty that we told them it had electrical issues that nobody could figure out. They bought it anyway... car was new, clean, cute... but it was a nightmare!
I had a GMC Jimmy that was a lemmon. I should have taken it back to Morraine in pieces and dumped it out in front of the plant with a sign, “Your dealers can’t fix it amymore.”
