Mileage is not killing me, time limits are, have two other vehicles to drive. Only 9 months left on my PT, doubt if I will even hit 45K miles.
But in a way, seem to have a lot more peace in my life dealing with a problem than putting up with that BS I have received from not one, but two GM dealers. Wife said, just buy two new brake calipers, but I fought this out for over three months, and the job they did was terrible, took me four times as long to do it right if I started from the beginning.
Also had that chirping blower wheel noise, this was very peaceful, idiot that designed this thing didn't give enough clearance between the squirrel cage blower wheel and that plastic shroud. So just added one millimeter thick washers to the base of the blower motor to get that clearance. Bet it would have taken those idiots three months to learn that the contacts in my ignition relay was dirty, this took me five minutes to discover this.
Stabilizer links are less than ten bucks each, have that rubber boot on them so you can add grease that was probably the problem in the first place, is this worth spending another three months fighting about? Did they even properly torque those nuts? Sure don't on even my wheel lug nuts nor those caliper bolts.
Am saving those recalls, in particular the electric power steering, a 900 buck item for ten years or 150K miles. But found a dealer that would give me the parts and let me install them myself. 40 bucks for a water pump is not a big deal.
Still have to depend on them for a firmware reflash, but found a dealer that would do it for 30 bucks after some talking. Wish they would make a law to go back to PROMs, just more BS to put up with.
So far nothing about that fuel pump, but 250 bucks for that POS made in china piece of plastic is way way too much. My rule is a quarter of a tank of gas is empty. Needs that gas so the thing won't burn itself up.
