Car had smelled like urine for a few months on a routine oil change. We were told that the head gasket was leaking and needed to be fixed. Has not been fixed yet due to cost. This seems to be an on going problem for this vehicle and we are waiting for so action to be taken.
Main computer failed and has been displaying "error" for yrs. The exact mileage is unknown. Leaking gaskets and intake valve. The most current issue is the leaking gas tank. The gauge is also wrong. The smell of gas is nauseating. There is a recall for this issue, but not my VIN. Gm couldn't possibly care less and it infuriates me that the government bailed them out. I will never buy gm again!! fortunately for them, I live in a state where there is tort reform and can't get in on the class action lawsuit. I have also spent lots of $ on this lemon and can't afford to fix it or replace it. Hopefully I won't catch fire or blow up! it's no wonder why most people buy foreign cars, they are made better!!! I will be contacting an atty. To pursue a suit against them as an individual. They can also expect complaints on every avenue I can find. I also call them relentlessly and make sure they record all my complaints and concerns. Best of luck to all. . . . So unfortunate.
