| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car has recurrent problems, never resolved, service costs, must replace car!!!!!!! i feel like sueing gmac for this. gasoline sprays out from under the hood, but no one knows the cause. always a gasoline odor for no apparent reason. no one can find the problem. replaced 3 batteries and 2 alternators. the dash lights come on and stay on and engines cuts off sometime for no reason so it gets towed and towed. i feel like my life is in jeopardy. this car cost me over $18,000 and i get a car in the shop most of the time. ended up trading in car for another "lemon" alero 2000. now this car cuts off when i turn off the ac. i really hate olds cars! defects that cannot be traced....what a deal! now i have higher payments on another olds that has more undetectable problems. constantly in the service shop, so here we go again. oh well, they sure are making a lot of money off of me,... that is, if i live through this car.the achieva was in the shop more that 6 times in a year, every year. i wonder what this alero will do? and to think i let the dealership get me for another $18,000 on yet another car. the payments are higher than the last lemon they sold me. i think they should have put me into a new car, with my remaining payments on the achieva. period. |
