I have had problem with my 2000 Catera every since I bough it, first the seat would not heat ,put the key in and it would not turn,tires wore out in less than a year,driver side door is coming a part,glove compartment lock broken ,belt broke car ran hot had to get a new radiator,check engine light on ,secondary air injection hose failures,this car has been in the shop more times than out, junk,and g m does nothing to help,water pump went out ,heater coil hose leaking,vaule cover gasket replace , all before 60,000 miles.
Speedometer and gas hand both work intermittently. . I was told by the bradshaw dealership that it is a known problem with Catera's. . . If this is the case then, I think the repairs should have been a part of the large recall on the automobile.
While listening to the radio or cd player. . When changing from source to source (cd to radio or radio to cd) levels (bass and treble reset to normal). . . . When adjusting mirror settings, controls do not work and mirrors rotate all the way to the home position and have to moved manually.
My engine light came on and dealer can't seem to resolve it. They have replaced the fuel tank, fuel filter, bg44k, module, and the car's computer system. To no avail. I now have a "check engine" light and "gas cap" light on.
Engine light comes on while driving, stop light goes off, if I drive about 10 miles it comes back on. Dealer has tried numerous corrections. None worked.
