Ac heating - heater core went out- AC still not working computer control- buick reprogrammed computer chip- my complaint was erratic idling. It fixed problem. Paint peeling this year struts and springs on suspension are not lasting long tires- probably my fault for not rotating transmission- I replaced it with salvaged one at 170,000- heard a lot of complaints about this 4t60e transmission. Brakes- front ones last 1,000 miles. I replace all hardware. Steering-listen to this-the pivot pins on my tilt steering fell out and the steering wheel was on my lap.car could still drive. I epoxied new pivot pins in and this solved the problem. All repairs done by me, except for the computer reprogramming-I thought it was a design problem and they should have fixed it for no charge. They did not. Heard friends tell me g.m cars eat up alternators and I have experienced this three times. Thank you!
