Still my only issue at 42K miles is the dashboard noise. Although recently some of the power door locks seem to not unlock all the way at times. Very strange - like they are getting stuck or the motors don't have enough power to push all the way up.

I'm pretty sure mine are too... they're pretty noisy in the winter but the dealer never hears it I just now am hearing a front end rattle all the time so the end links are probably shot too. 25K here. But even with all that, I still like the car and plan to keep it for awhile .

My Cabin Air Filter needs to be replaced. I'm ditching this ride..

Seriously, I had a Saturn Ion that had bushing problems and I think it is a common design issue. Sorry to hear you are fed up.

It's the actual lock mechanism. Had that done as well.

And the headliner fixed.
And I still have electrical gremlins after the wiring harness repair.

say what you want. My car has spent a lot of time in the shop. Stranded me, does not run correctly and still shows signs of electrical issues.

It's the fact that it's a POS and every month something new breaks. It's about 8 days in the shop this year. last year was 12 or more.

21K miles.

I won't be buying another Chevy.
