THERE IS A P008 CODE THAT ONSTAR DETECTED AND SAID I MAY HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS. THIS WOULD ENABLE THE CAR TO HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR MY CAR WHICH I THINK THEY SHOULD BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES YET. *JS
