Drove it. Turned it off for 15 minutes. Went to start it back up and would not start. Wouldn't even turn over. Called onstar and they sent someone to jump it. Would not start 2 more times before i could get it in to get looked at. The neighbor and my fiancee had to jump it both times. That was within 3 days. Dealership could not duplicate. Said it was a program telling my car not to start. They re-programmed my car.…

At 4000 miles the radiator failed and the car overheated. Replaced radiator. At the same time there was and still is a clunking at low speeds and when up-shifting. The clunk has been so dramatic that i thought on several occasions that i was hit from the rear. It actually makes me sick to my stomach driving the car and makes people in the back sicker. Additionally some where above 30 miles an hour the car has…
