| It never fails. My car ended up costing $200 to fix :shock:. And the reason the fluid line broke in the first place was because it had been chaffing against a metal bracket that was doing absolutely nothing. The mechanic removed it so the new line wouldn't do the same thing. Great engineering job Cheverolet :roll: :scratch:. My clutch doesn't work the same now either. It's really touchie and loose.
Plus, I was charged $40 for the tow to the garage. The garage is less than 1 km from where my car was :evil:. Gimmie a break. If I had know that I would have had them tow it to Truro to my regular mechanic. | |

| Vehicles are a never ending curse... Hopefully that will be the last of the repairs for awhile. | |

| I would have had that to the dealer and told them it should have been a recall.. maybe it was and you were never told.. | |

| Hmmm, never thought of that. I was just talking to the salesman that sold it to me last week. I should ask. It can't hurt. | |

| I just emailed the salesman I bought the car from with a link to several complaints of the exact same thing happening. He told me to come to him if I ever had a problem even after the warranty way up, so I am taking him up on that. I was/am and very happy customer and hope GM will step up here. It's a defect that they acknowledge however have not recalled. I probably won't get anywhere's but it's worth a shot. | |

| The salesman called me right away and said he checked if there were any recalls, which there weren't (I already knew that :roll:). The dealership can't, or won't, offer anything to me so I am going to write to GM. That definately won't go anywhere's but atleast I can say I tried. It must take an accident before they will do a recall :evil:. I could have easily been hit because I as soon as I pulled out onto the hwy my car just stopped.
The only good thing is that I managed to get my clutch working better. Got some more air out of the line last night and now it's pretty much back to normal. I looked like a first time standard driver yesterday in town lurtching at every stop light :lol:. | |
