That's not a lemon, at least in Ca. First, the windshield was replaced and the guy did a crappy job. Not the truck's fault. second, the cruise is fine, it's a $10 brake switch that caused the problem. Next, a door lock actuator that could have cost $400, but was warranty too. You said the truck obviously did not get maintained, so a few leaking seals is not surprising, especially at 60K. That same lack of maintenance (and probable abuse), could easily be the reason for the diff. needing a rebuild. The mystery is why you would buy it knowing it had not been maintained properly?

Seems like a stupid question to ask. No, I would not have bought it if I'd known what I know after having it for 3 months. It came with a 3 month/5000km warranty since it was a "GM Optimum Certified" vehicle so I thought it would be safe. The joys of buying used.

thats the great thing about certified. It has to be fixed

Our 07 Denali is at 63k and it seems like it has needed a lot of maintenance in the last few thousand miles. We bought it with 40k and I don't think much was done by the original owner. It's a hassle and anything at the dealer is going to be expensive. I think they secretly have a $500 minimum.

From now on I will be going through my friend that is the tech as he does work after hours for a fraction of the cost. It does seem like every time you take a vehicle in for service it is a $500 bill...if you're lucky. Funny how that works.
