Well I have been given the absolute shaft! The tranny on my car is FUCKED but it is still drivable sorta. It kept "popping out" of 3rd and 5th gear and was leaking transmission fluid. I took it to the dealer where I bought the car. When they got to looking at it they called the area service rep and to make a long story short they denied warranty on all work I was requesting to be done on my car because it was "all from abuse". (Wheels chipping, tranny, interior door lock/window switch paint peeling, brakes vibrating) My car has 27k miles on it (had 24k when i took it to dealer...took it to florida on spring break=27k now). Before i took the car to florida I had to take it to a transmission shop and spend 120 bucks out of my own pocket so it wouldn't leak fluid. They said (and showed me everything) that there were chunks of metal that came out when they took it apart to JB Weld the crankcase (im pretty sure thats what it was). Now I am back from florida and I dont have second gear because it grinds when I try to shift into 2nd. It WILL go into second but it makes me cringe to hear the grind so i just skip second and it sucks I am no longer having fun with this 500/month car (or bucket of bolts however you want to look at it). I cant trade it in because any dealer who drives it will know the tranny is screwed, I cant afford the 3000+++ to get the tranny replaced or fixed and it wouldnt be worth it anyways because it will still be a junk transmission.

I do NOT abuse my car at all I don't wheelhop it I can count the times on one hand (when I first got it and didnt know how to launch it and on wet roads once or twice). They said that since I have stage 2 and an intake (those are my ONLY mods) I must use the car for racing so they say it is abused and they will not fix it. I am so sick of the bull **** I have put up with on this car I wish someone would just steal it or burn it for me and take the trouble from my hands because I am fed up with gm and them not backing up what they sell. This car will be the last gm I own unless they fix it for me or hell freezes over. I am not gonna sit here and say that I never have raced anyone because I have or that I do not occasionally drive the car like gm makes it look like it is meant to be driven. Why would they sell a factory supercharged vehicle and sell performance parts for it if they do not expect it to be DRIVEN. I no longer know what to do with this piece of 25000 dollar junk!!!!!

 

take it to a different dealer man

 

Take it to a different dealer, contact GM if that doesn't work burn the bitch to the ground after "someone" steals it!

 

welcome to the voided warranty club.... mine was voided at 6000 miles due to exhaust and h/e... lol... they won't fix anything drivetrain related.

 

saturn tryed that with me cause of saturnmotorsport accessories.. i made them fix my car as it sit's.. with lowering springs,intake,exhaust, short throw shifter,stage II.. call corperate and tell them you dont race your car and you just wan it fixed.. the dealer saying that is BS.. ever herd of the moss magnasion act.. i know i didnt spell that right..

 

i will steal it for you... its only about a 2 hour drive from nashville to paducah... lemme know bro =)

 

Come get it...

 

exchange phone numbers, then delete this thread

 

Are you just joking?

 

Good luck doing that without the keys..

 

I've got a plan that does not involve leaving keys in the car or hotwiring...I have thought this out for quite a while...

 

just leave the keys in the car.. walk outside act stunned that its gone, and go from there,, good luck man...

 

The way I understand it is if you leave the keys in the car insurance wont pay for it...

 

YUP they consider that negligence and won't pay out... tow dolly? and a can of gas... lol

 

i would say try another dealer, try gm direct. If those fail pay someone to steal the car for a few days rebuild the trans and bring it back...... thats a true rebel right there

 

Lol I have thought about burning it but I couldnt think of a way for it to burn and look like the "cars fault" rather than starting the fire with a lit cigarette on a floor mat or something. I didnt want to call them and ask but I am assuming that if they figure out that the car burned from dropping a cig or somethin they wouldnt cover it.

 

insurance fraud FTW!!!

 

I dont plan on paying a dime for ****!

 

cracked fitting in the fuel line (where it over the valve cover) that part that rotates... easily "disabled" to leak fuel.... (didn't hear that from me)

 

For real...If anything happens they will probably find out that I had it done on purpose...real smart posting this on the world wide web huh

I dont really want to have burns all over my body for this lol...I will look at the engine and see if i can figure out what you are talking about.......

 

im going through the same thing right now. luckily my father builds trannys for a living. if you need a rebuild we can do it for a reasonable price.i got mine in peices on the bench right now in the process of tracking down parts.heres my email if ur interested ambanyas@yahoo.com good luck

 

You better delete this ASAP.
If something unfortunate happens from this point on, then it was meant to be, but If I were you and something DID happen, I would not want this floating around!

 

well in that case. somebody broke into your house.. stole the keys, your rolex, the 50inch flat screen, the picaso paintings, the gun colection, and then took of in your car.. my neighbor did that one time.. and he got away with it...

 

Thanks...I will remember that if I am left with no choice but I do not plan on keeping the car one way or another.

HEHE great minds think alike! I dont have any expensive paintings or a rolex but we are on the same page my friend
