Replying to: pao (Oct 09, 2006 10:33 am) ..without telling me. I got a call at 4:30 telling me the car was now driveable and I had better think of getting a rental. They of course did not offer one. Fortunately my boss was considerate in my having to leave on short notice to snag a rental car before the places I could get to closed. I got the rental..a Dodge Neon. It's transportation..and dat's all. If this is Chevy's idea of superior service, they are doing an excellent job... of selling me a Toyota.

today after 3 days of cat and mouse with the "adjuster" my Maxx was finally fixed. They replaced the part as in the tech service bulletin and did a basic alignment. The writer told me that in URBAN areas, the adjusters are much more picky as there are many more cars to deal with. And the justifications are wierd...an entire engine overhaul can be greenlit without an adjuster, while a valve job may require an adjuster. Apparently in RURAL areas, GM is more generous. People have had hotel bills paid if they break down far from home. For rental car reimbursement I send the paperwork to GM MAJORGUARD and as repair was overnight, should get reimbursed. We'll see....  I expect some rattles to return in 1 - 3 K miles, but hopefully this car will otherwise behave itself until trade-in time next year.

I own a 2001 Chev Malibu LS 3.0L V6 with 150,000 miles. My engine developed a sputtering problem, and has poor acceleration and cuts out. It feels like it's ignition related the way it cuts in and out. Sometimes it stalls and sometimes it clears up. Today it was fine then the idle began racing, shut it off then re started then ran like garbage. When I got home I removed my batt cables and cleaned. Seems OK but still sputters. Just last weekend it died while parking and I got an ERROR on my radio display, shut it off and came out 15 minutes later and was fine. Seems to be getting more frequent and worse. I'm no stranger to cars and car repair but what the heck, I'm not too proud to ask for help. REPAIR HISTORY: Original owner, replaced fuel pump and sender and filter, intake gasket job, turn signal/hazard switch, 100,000 mile full tune-up. Occasionally the engine light comes on. I know somebody out there has had this same problem, GM made millions of the cars. Please help !!!

So the other day my headlights didnt turn on. My parking lights, brake lights, and everyting else on the inside turn on at night. The only thing that doesnt, is my headlights. My check engine light comes on, so Im going to go to autozone to see what comes up. I checked thefuses and relay for the headlights, and they seemed good. I just wanted to check here for any ideas. |
