I am so irritated I can't even begin to form intelligible sentences. The check engine light came on, attempted to call Onstar twice for an on demand diagnostic but the system was down. Drove straight to a local dealer explained the isssue and was told to try a non locking gas cap first to see if this corrected the issue with the check engine light. If not come back and they would schedule an appointment to look at my vehicle. Changed the cap. No resolution, light still on engine still running rough. Took to another dealer and dropped it off. A week later and 2981.92 in repairs and labor I now have new heads and valves. was told this was a known problem with the 2006 5 cylinder and that GM made changes in 2007. No recalls no recourse no warranty left. I have followed all scheduled maintence on my vehicle and it only has 69,475 miles on it! This not the only problem I've experienced with this vehicle since it's purchase in 2006 (that's for another complaint). I'm gonna talk to a lemon lawyer!

Bought the vehicle from carmax and purchased extended warranty up to 100k! So hopefully there will be no issues once GM dealership repairs vehicle.
