What Warranty Items have you had done?

Post by sloth »

Well I'm coming up on the end of my manufacturer warranty and was just thinking of everything that has been fixed due to warranty. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some stuff.1. Stereo....CD constantly skipping.2. Cladding passenger door came loose, that was my wifes fault but they still covered it.3. (Tomorrow) Molding around Driver side recline lever will be replaced.4. (Tomorrow) Front left Fender Cladding, replace due to rubber fading.5. (Tomorrow) Rear left Fender Cladding, replace due to rubber fading.6. (Tomorrow) Cigeratte Lighter will be replaced, when pulling any DC outlet item out the whole piece pulls out of the dash.7. (Tomorrow) A/C will be checked. When I tested the temp yesterday, 90 degree day, the temp got down to 45. I believe it's supposed to be between 35-38.I traded in a 2000 Grand AM GT for the vibe and I feel a lot better about warranty items on the Vibe. The Grand Am also had to have the stereo replaced for the same problem, but the Airbag sensor on the Grand Am had to be replace 2 times in the first year. That made me a little nervous.

Well, I was looking through my old service statements...funny -- my first paint chip was repaired just a month after I bought the car! Anyway, I had the following warranty work done:* IP Cluster replaced -- plastic shield on original one shattered.* A/C cable adjustment per TSB* Striker on driver door replaced* New window regulator on passenger door* Replaced plastic cap on front passenger door lock cylinder* Replaced a retainer clip in the rear passenger door to eliminate rattle -- didn't work though* Resecured a junction block to eliminate rattle -- successful* Battery upgraded per TSB. Even though I never had the trouble others did, I figured I should get it done before the warranty expires.that's it! Nothing major...
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

10,500 miles and the only thing replaced was the rubber molding around the driver's window. Knock on wood nothing else has gone wrong.
