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 [email protected] my suggestion is to never buy an extended warranty because it won't do you any good if you ever have a major claim.
