My 2001 6-Speed Coupe:

- Right headlight motor replaced (grinding)

- Two Delco AGM batteries replace by dealer. One failed at the airport
drop off area and the police towed it to dealer. No warning it just
crapped out.

- Two alternators replaced as they could not charge the AGM battery.

- At 11K miles Engine using way too much oil (1 quart ever 500 miles)
and was in the queue for a ring replacement when I got in a 10-inch in
five minute rain storm and hydro locked the engine. The insurance
company replaced the whole engine with a new ($14K) 2002 engine that
came with the factory ring fix. Never use any oil with the new engine.

- Radio display failed and was replaced by the dealer

- Drive door speaker replaced (rattling and static)

- Emergency Flasher failed causing turn signal problems

- Rocking driver seat repaired

- Left headlight motor replaced (grinding)

- Numerous Pull Key and Wait ten minute error messages. Turned out to be
a bad key that was replaced and solved the problem

- Trashed the Delco AGM when it died and replaced it with Wall Mart
Everlast. No problems at all with the Everlast

- Daytime Running Light (Lamps) had to replace more than once and it
was not easy/

- AC compressor and belt pulley.

- Left headlight motor replaced (grinding) again 2nd time

- Key fob quit and was replaced.

- Passenger side AC temp control replaced- it never really worked

- Had to have the passenger seat repaired due to cracks

- Two wheel pressure sensors failed and required replacement

- The dumb column lock did its thing in my garage and the wrecker
service refused to tow the vehicle. The dealer's guy had to come to my
home to unlock and replace the motor. Two weeks before it was in for
the lame GM recall the only reprogrammed the computer to shut off the
fuel flow.

- Passenger side power window motor failed and had to be replaced

- Tires but they were replaced due to normal wear

- Windshield wiper blades (several times)

- Numerous Service Anti Lock Brakes and Active Handling errors. All the
dealer ever did was to reset the codes. The never really fixed the
problem. When I get the warning now I reset the codes.

- The hand brake never really worked and needs to be replaced to pass
the next state safety inspection.

- CD Disc carrier stuck in the 12-Disc CD player. Fixed by pulling the
power to reset.

This is all I can think of at this time.
