Hi All,
I bought my SSV wagon back in April and overall pretty happy with the car, but I have never had a car with so many issues.
1. Window seal drivers side came out (fixed under warranty). Now makes squeeking noise which they sprayed some stuff on and fixed it for a day
2. Drivers seat moves around when driving, replaced base under warranty, did it again and now they tell me they all do it and there's nothing they can do about it.
3. Ticking noise at warm idle, they say it's headers (even though HSV headers and HSVs don't sound like that). Anyway, not majorly fussed with this one.
4. Cold start producing loud knocking sound until warm and even while driving sounds like I am driving a diesel from inside the car. (normal apparently)
5. Body armour has come loose (will be getting fixed under warranty)
So the district manager goes into the dealership to checkout the seat and the cold start up sound, he said all of them have issues with the seat so nothing they can do, and the sound is normal. If it's normal, why didn't it do it from the start you silly twat, and why don't you then show me other new ones on the floor that make this sound, i'll tell you why, because it's not effing normal.
Now, I am pretty frustrated because other than these things I really enjoy driving the car.
Has anyone been able to resolve issues such as these or otherwise where the dealership doesn't want to do anything by going straight to holden? Is there a governing body I should talk to, or am I stuck with a rattling car with a moving seat?
Does anyone of importance in Holden read these posts? If so, I would like you to know that this is not good enough!
Sorry about the rant fellas, any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
