Yikes - check this out (play the video for 'Lemon Cars') http://toronto.ctv.ca/consumer/ Not sure how long the link will be up... poor guy with the new AWD Vibe, at least GM was decent about it and took care of him in the end.I don't think I want to know what the problem was !

What I find interesting is that the news report states "there were difficulties getting parts since Pontiac is being phased out."I could see this for external sheet metal or such, but to be honest - the engine is a Toyota and there are plenty of parts for a 2.4L around. Something does not add up.

...standard Detroit "warranty" tactic: drag your feet until the customer gives up and goes away.
...and the Devil said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

This customer didn't "go away", but instead went on TV. It's amazing what problems can be solved when they are publicized. Good for them.
