This POS (peice of s***) G5 of my wife's is starting to piss me off.
Do I keep it or trade it in?
I seems to want to cripple me financially or something.
The Key less entry has never worked and after replacing the battery the GM dealers around me said we voided the warranty by changing the batteries...WTF?
2 months ago I had to replace the right control arm - $400
This month it was the left, another $400
Now the sunroof is not shutting properly, something seems to be protruding from the rest of the sliding assembly on the drivers side.
Also the radio is going completely black for random intervals, the volume doesn't work at times, the defroster switch has to be beaten to work and now it just nuked my wife's cell phone and two car charges after plugging them into the cigarette lighter. I cant even figure out what the hell could nuke a cell phone charger other then the alternot putting out too much voltage.
The car is only a 2007 with only 50,000 miles.
I wanted to keep the car since its almost paid off but this is now costing me more per month then my 09 Xterra.
I have never really had a 50,000 mile plus car, I tend to get something else by 40,000. Is this kind of crap common for used cars or is this another great example of a POS GM?
I owe 5000, trade in on it is worth about $7500.
I was considering trading it in for a used Acura TL with about 30,000 on it.
I am just not too excited to put myself another $15000 in debt to do it but I trust Acuras to go a good long time.
I just cant win with cars out of warranty. My wife's protege blew a damn engine at 55,000 and was eating wheel bearings.
