POPS, took me to advanced auto parts and they supplied me with a (goodyear) heavy duty hose (for transmission oil transfer ... 3/8" diameter - 10" long) hasnt broken yet and or course the other ones broke on (WOT) didnt they know this i mean POLICE DEPARTMENTS use these vehicles or did they just SPOOL off NOT TO SPECS! rubber hosing, on dealershiped vehicles, it was a learning curve but nonetheless JUST PLAIN STUPID!
This is not my first friggin problem with this car! First of all, the factory tires that came on the car were sh*t! They lasted about two months and then began to wear out and break belts inside. The problem was due to incorrect wheel alignment from factory. It took me three separate times going back and forth to the dealer for them to tell me,(I don't see any problems at all.) I finally went to an outside tire shop and pay out of my pocket to replace all four tires and a 4 wheel alignment to correct this problem. How's that for buying a brand new car? There has been other recalls and minor irritating as hell problems that has disgusted me with GM!
