Have had problems from
day one with vehicle. Day we took it home, had to return following day because there was
no oil in engine. engine oil lamp was lit and dip stick showed none.
From April of 1998 to July 1998 had vehicle in service
department several times for a/c not cooling. Was of course told several times
"cannot duplicate". They replaced hoses, switches, and the compressor by the
time they were done in July.
What made the situation worse was that they gave us the
runaround, would tell us it's ok and then check it with the thermometor and have it read
91 degrees.
Now on to our latest problem. Brought car in for
rubbing noise in steering column. We are now still in our rental one week later and have
experienced the following: When they examined the vehicle, they found damage and contacted
the factory because the dealer had never seen this problem before.
The facotry told them that it was unsafe to drive and
told them how to fix. They since replaced bushings, seals, steering gear two times because
they broke off the studs when replacing and found metal in the fluid when draining.
When we test drove the vehicle today, my husband
noticed a severe pull to the right which we did not have before. He told the service
writer that he wanted the vehicle aligned before we picked it up. The service writer
called later and said we needed a caster adjustment but that GM does not give them specs
to do this so therefore this is the way the car is and we have to accept this.
We did not! They still have the vehicle and we told
them that they need to come up with a conclusion to correcting this.
There is something called the Lemon Law which would
seem to apply in this case. The writer should call the local Bar Association and ask
for a referral to an attorney who specialies in Lemon Law cases.
