Both outside mirrors have fallen off before 90K miles. This was due to the plastic deteriorating at the junction where the mirror "folds away." Replaced egr valve several times. The first three were under warranty, the rest have been on me. In addition, most major fuel system components have been replaced, or repaired. The idle has always been rough, and it will on occasion, smoke and omit strong odors of unburned fuel. Wipers failed at 20K miles. I resoldered the circuit board to correct the problem. Drivers seat will not stay in a locked position, which causes me some concern. By the way, the first week I had the car (bought it new), the seat would not stay locked. Took it to the dealer, and was promptly told that "it is a normal condition." Hmmm, as a design engineer I have to wonder about the logic behind this; as any forward or rearward impact would allow the seat to flex which could make a minor non-injury accident something far worse. The water pump has been replaced three times, alternator twice, battery five. All parts were replaced with original parts through GM. I have had all brake components replaced three times, and still there is a painful chatter of the pedal under certain conditions, which is outside the ABS parameters. Wind noise is quite loud, as the fit of the drivers side door is, for lack of a better word, terrible. The plastic which covers the A/C within the engine compartment has deteriorated to the point where it has broken and fallen away, piece by piece, sometimes lodging itself on the exhaust manifold, causing some rather unpleasant odors. Oh, and since there is no longer any covering over the A/C, it goes without saying that the coldness, which was the saving grace of this vehicle, has been reduced to that of a glorified fan.
