Description of the problem | I've had numerous problems with this model (3. 4 dual overhead cam engine). Most recently was a serious oil leak which resulted in an engine rebuild. The leaks started again and was repaired by a gm dealer. The engine locked and had to be replaced at an estimated cost of $3,500. I'm the original owner of the vehicle. A dealer tried to repair the hood alignment problem on 3 different occasions but never succeded. I've replaced the starter 3 times, the drivers side power window motor twice (2); water pump twice (2) turn signal switch four times (4) and still get smoke from steering wheel; etc. Etc |
