How do I start, I own a LS Tahoe that I bought way back in 06 when the new body style came out. I was in love. She was my new wife. Me and her were so happy, until, at 19895 miles her transmission went out. It was so disappointing, I had to ride a rental (Suburban) for about a month. When I got her back, I was jumping with joy, once again reunited, and boy, did we go everywhere, Vegas, Santa Barbara, San Diego, and back to Vegas quite a few times. 3 years later she started to crack. Right next to the airbag and another crack behind the speedometer, once again disappointment hit me. After 6 calls to GM, and then going to the dealer for inspection. She finally had the dashboard replaced and she was looking sexy again. Then, about a month ago at 92725 miles, I got a message saying something about the tire sensors not working correctly, then the following day, the airbag sensor needed service, and to top it all off, the check engine came on with a P0121, I was like "What the f$%k". The same week the transmission started giving me problems. It felt as if the spare tire was loose, and when you took off, the tire would hit, it was that kind of bump, that the transmission was doing. I took her in again to the dealer, of course now GM only pays $38 a day for a rental, and I got a fu*&in cobalt to drive for a week, till I got her back. A cobalt, with 3 kids under the age of 6, car seats. Alot of arguing with Enterprise, Camino Real Chevrolet, and GM directly, they finally gave me a Malibu, just slightly bigger than the cobal, but f*&k it, it's better than nothing. Then I get her back, with a brand new transmission, it was a happy moment, until the service guy informed me that the mechanics had told him, that the oil pressure message came on. I knew I needed an oil change, "but what the f$*k are you talking about. What Message?", I was thinking maybe the "change oil light came on", and that was what he was talking about. Oh well, let me take her home, but first let's go to the gas station and fill her up, as I was going there, a burnt smell came into the cabin, it smelled like plastic, that wasn't normal. I'll fill her up, and go back to the dealer, all of a sudden, a message came on, with a ding ding ding sound, kinda of like an alarm. It said "low oil pressure stop engine now." Straight to the dealer I went, and argued with the service rep, because he was insinuating that I had brought the Tahoe like that already. Once that was done. Back to enterprise, where I got a Chevy HHR, in other words a PT Cruiser. As I was getting home, I get a message in the console, "service airbag soon", What? turned around, got to enterprise, and they finally gave me a "Chevy Traverse". While my baby is at the dealer, of course wife now wants me to trader her in as soon as we get her, for Japanese vehicle. Oh well, that's it. Thanks for reading, I needed to tell my folks who understand me, and my frustration. Keep Hoeing..

this is what im thinking. I have 70k on my 05, and have had nothing wrong, only a leaking waterpump and fuel pump. Nothing else and i drive all the time. Sounds like a lemon to me. Or its the dealer messing with it. I used to own a ford lightning all modded out, they had to replace the heads under warranty, gave it back to me w/ no exhaust hooked up, no vaccum lines hooked up, and some other things not hooked up. Needless to say i didnt move. And the manager was the one that gave me the truck and said nothings wrong i looked it over myself.. ha ha... Yeah... i have, will, not go back to a dealer again. They are freaken idiots... (unless of course someone on here works there) :Handshake:

Being that my little brother owns an HHR and one of my closest friends has a PT Cruiser, I can honestly say that they are in no ways related. You'd have to be talking mad shit to compare the HHR to that thing. They may be the same size and designed by the same guy, but Chevy made the HHR MUCH better than the PT "Loser".

About your truck, I'd say get rid of it. Look for a different one or a different type of vehicle altogether. Whatever you do, good luck!
