Replying to: shadow5599 (Jun 18, 2007 9:59 am) It's in the used car (2002 cadillac) I just bought and I see that the fellow who owned it had a blown piston and gasket ast 17,000 miles when it was brand new...had that replaced under warranty and then the hoses too...so I'm guessing he had the same problems.At 35,000 miles he had the car in 35 times......so it sounds to me like this stuff went all through his engine system into other systems too. Just thought I'd be helpful and point people toward consumers affairs complaints which lists a litany of problems similar to that the other poster mentioned.

I drive a 2005 Malibu LT 6-cylinder with 33,000 miles that I've owned for a little over 2 years. It's been a great car -- up until now, the only problem I've had was a slight shudder in the brake pedal that was cured by resurfacing the rotors. Lately, I've noticed that when I start the engine in the morning, it first idles very rough at low rpm, then suddenly shoots to over 2000rpm, then drops back down to 950rpm, all in 2-3 sec. After that, the idle is fine, including after being parked at work all day. I suspect the idle air control valve, but I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem and found the cause.
