Thumbs down I'm about to file the lemon law paper work for my SS/SC

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same amount of problems with their Cobalts as i have. I'm done with it! To the point that i'm depressed when driving the car. I've had the car in 6 times for engine whine in the onstar system and am radio, 6 times in for clicking in the front suspension. 2 times for the sunroof not locking down all the way so it creaks while driving. 2 days after i bought it i had the CPS sensor fail and I had to push the car back to my house ( i was 1/2 mile away) The door trim has been replaced for fading. Brakes rotors cut for pulsating.

On top of that they had to replace the alternator b/c it had a bad suppresor in it (causing the am radio engine whine but made the onstar noise worse!) and found that the bushing for the tensioner is bad and that's what has been causing the engine rattle that i have at start up. And when they were working on the onstar problem, apparently they removed the FM antenna mast, then put it back but didn't secure it correctly. So when i when i got the car washed, the brushes pulled the antenna out and the trunk got soaked.

So i know i sound like im bitchin, but i'm frustrated! Thanks for listening!

What's the deal with the Lemon Law? Don't they only have to replace your car with a new one - or do they have to take it back from you and give you what you've paid already for it.. or?
