Then the the front end started to give problems took it to chevrolet dealer where i bought it, couldn't find the problem. They did change the brake disks on the front and turned the rotors. which i replaced with high quality alloy rotors ended brake problems. Steering shaft started to make noise and took it back to dealer prior to extended warranty running out at 70,000, they couldn't find it again but they did change the water pump. The key pads to unlock the car and remote start died, the dealer exchanged them, ( no charge) but still couldn't find the noise in the steering shaft or the front end. At 90,000 I changed the entire strut system (that was a bigger to change) on the car, helped somewhat, now the CV joints are bad. Front was designed wrong, much too light for the vehicle.
thanx for your time
