I HAVE HAD AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE LATEST PROBLEM IS THE RADIATOR HOSE BLEW OFF THE THE WATER PUMP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND SEIZE. I WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF DOCUMENTING AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THE EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY COMPANY (GMPP) HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND 4 TIMES ABOUT WHY IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID $23,000 FOR THIS CAR AND NOW I HAVE TO REBUILD THE MOTOR TOO! IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH GMPP, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL AT EVALYN.NUNNERY@METAGROUP.COM MY SUGGESTION IS TO NEVER BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD IF YOU EVER HAVE A MAJOR CLAIM. *AK
