GnatGoSplat Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I had a guy check warranty claims on our 94 Cutty convertible. It had been in for warranty service a LOT! I can't say I'm surprised. In contrast, my 99 Chevy Silverado had ZERO warranty claims and so far has been problem-free up to 116,000 miles.

LukeZ34 Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 A door handle at 2300 miles? Wow, they must have been pretty nasty with them to break them that fast. How'd you get that detailed report? Do GM dealerships provide those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I don't think that's worthy of a lemon though. If I can only get the list of my mom's '95 cutlass at its first year of operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92turboLE Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 WOW, My convertable was a lemon. YUP! - Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you get that detailed report? Do GM dealerships provide those? I got it from a guy on one of the truck forums I frequent. He says it only goes back to 1993 though.

godofthunder Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 we almost got debs truck in as a lemon. One more problem, and the owner of the dealership said he woudl take it back, consider it a lemon, even though the time limit had passes. We had to take it in 4 times for front end work, 3 times for one side, since they were quite sexists towards my GF, and then just completly freaking stupid jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Was it a lemon or was the original owner just anal ? :? And if you're a friend or relative of the original owner I'm j/k ! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 It's not an actual lemon (I checked Carfax before buying), and I don't know the original owner, but when I got the car, it needed lots of TLC before it could become the relatively reliable car that it is today! It just surprised me, because my truck has not one claim in its 116,000 miles while right now the convertible is only 5000 miles ahead.

NORBI Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 If it was a white 94 Convertible with 3.4 DOHC it could be my old one. I returned it to the dealer under a lemon law after i had electric motor for the top changed 4 times in less then a year and same with person that owned the car before me. But god i miss my convertible right now, Mustang is fun but that convertible was different kind of a fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Nah, it's not yours. It's a triple black one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORBI Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Thats good, but i still wonder who has my car because dealer didnt even keep the car they send it to the auction and have somebody else deal with problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
