I have had multiple problems from this car and, GM does not want to help. I was sent out of the dealer ship with no horn for three days. Dealers are now smart enough to work around the lemon law in wording repair orders. I think with all the motor problems and, safety issues maybe an investigation should be done before a car stalls and someone gets killed.

Upon delivery of my car I heard a loud sporadic crunching noice from the front right side of my car. After many visits my original dealership could not find the reason I contacted another dealer who diagnosed the noise as the evap system and that it was a normal noise. This is not a normal noise to me and I am very unsatisfied with the noise my car makes it is temperature related and sporatic for this reason I feel that I should have been told about this noise at the time of sale so I had the choice of buying this model with the disturbing crunching noise.I was not informed that the car I was purchasi8ng would make this noise and was told at a workshop in Jan 1997 that it was not a normal noise and that I should bring it in to the service center which is when my many visits started. I have made many phone calls wrote a letter and have had terrible customer service. My car still has this noise. Thandk you pat pasco.
