Wow. Reality, what a concept. In case you missed it, you can actually find news stories on the internet.

GM wants to kill Pontiac, not Buick. Buick actually makes a fair amount of profit for GM.

(Either you're playing dumb to see what kind of responses your posts get, or you really are living in 1989.)

Um, I would say the first is correct. lol, and I really dont give a darn about GM, I think its all BS, We dont need 3 of the same car in different packaging. try to make a cavalier into a caddy back then, you wonder why they messed up?

Oh man, all kinds of things. Had one (or two?) of those defective exhausts. Had to have the steering wheel replaced twice (first time a button didnt work, second time they put the wrong steering wheel on haha). The sunroof makes a new/different and awful noise every time I open it - had it in once or twice for that but it's still doing it. The stupid tension noise in the roof - they fixed that. I haven't taken it in yet for the cracking/popping noise coming from the dash/windshield area yet, but I will. Had the driver's seat replaced because of the leather bubbles. One time they were fixing something and got the inside all greasy and dirty (black fingerprints on headliner and such) so they did a free detail. The material on the inside of the door by the aluminum plate was coming undone and coming out - so they fixed that. I have to take it in again soon because when they replaced the seat, they didnt attached the leather right under the front of the driver's seat and it's hanging down. I've taken it in a bunch of times for TSBs (intermittent rev increase being one of them). Now my engine is making a strange noise... haven't been able to figure out where it's coming from yet - so that'll be another trip.

That's all I can think of at the moment! haha

Holy Crap.....did the guys over in Japan finish your car after too many shots of sake and a poker game? Were your service techs snorting too much nose candy?? Sorry to hear you've had so many problems.....only issue I've had is the leather seat bubble (which I'm going to show my dealer at my next oil change).

I think he meant pulling on the window glass to close the do0r rather than pushing on the sheet metal to close it. If you pull or push on the glass to close it, you could be tweaking something and causing premature failure.

I tell everyone that gets in my car, DONT use the window to open/close it.
