Another Slight Problem :(

So im was driving home from work 2 days ago and decided to have just a bit fun but it got cut way short. So i slam on the gas in 2nd and right after i shift into 3rd my check engine light starts blinking and shuts off after about 20 sec. So im thinking great i cant even have a little fun. So i caled Onstar and they told me i threw 2 codes that have to do with the emissions and they told me to take the car to the dealer. So the next day thats what i did. So the two codes were a 300 and a 303. The 303 ment that i had a bad ignition coil which caused the car to misfire. nothing you can feel but the dealer said it could have gotten worse over time. Luckily for me they had the part in stock and i was on my way in about an hour and a half. 3800 miles on the SS and its been to the dealer 3 times already for repair .

1st- ic piping sensor went bad
2nd- throw out bearing was shot
3rd- ignition coil went bad

I just hope nothing else happens

That sucks, at least they are owning up and covering it under warranty right?

I haven't really had any major problems with mind in the 7 months I have owned it.

I have to say i have a good dealership to work with.. If anyone is in the Chicagoland are and for some reason you have problems with your ride (lets hope not) check out Hoskins Chevy in Elk Grove Village. Great people to work with.

Good thing you aren't getting hassled, that only adds to the crap of having your car in the shop!
