Replying to: jstolz (Jun 30, 2008 3:27 pm) I would ask you this question...If not for the engine problems, did you like the car? Were there any other significant issues that surfaced during your ownership? If not, keep the vehicle. Going the lemon law route is time consuming and never guaranteed to succeed, and almost always culminates in the pro-rated discount for mileage on the vehicle, so it isn't like you get a check back from GM for the total cost of the car. Instead, if I were you, I would DEMAND a factory engine, not a rebuilt one done by the dealer. And, I would also attempt to negotiate an extention to the drive-train warranty. ANd, don't forget to negotiate for a free rental or loaner while the work is being done. Good luck, and let us know how it winds up!
