Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

First Drive: Deronda G400 - A race-bred exotic sports car
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Apr 14th, 2009 at 11:58AM
Close your eyes and build the ultimate two-seat sports car. Start with a lightweight, tube-frame chassis and then add race-bred suspension and oversized brakes. Wrap the vehicle in an aero-inspired carbon fiber body shell, but keep the generous cockpit open for wind-in-your-hair enjoyment. Lastly, wedge a huge, torque-laden, tire-shredding engine into the middle of the chassis, and tune the exhaust note so it scares the gophers out of your neighbor's front lawn. Now, open your eyes and take a look at the Deronda G400.We recently had an afternoon with this exceptional hand-built brute in... Read More

MXA's John Basher (22) cranks it hard to keep in front of 250 Intermediate winner Zac Commans (103).
This weekend was an important race in the REM structure. It was the annual Awards Day, in which the best racers from 2012 received their trophies, jackets and accolades. It was scheduled for this weekend because it was the first one of the year where most of the top ten would be present and because next weekend was the Indianapolis Motorcycle Show (and lots of REM's racers work in the motorcycle industry).
Tom White interviews REM's Frank Thomason with the Jon Ortner painting looming behind them. To learn more about Jon Ortner's art go to www.weatheredwalls.com/jon-ortner-art-santa-barbara/.
But, on Friday the race looked iffy as a torrential downpour, that included hail in many beach cities and the snow level almost down to the top of Mt. Saint Helen, fell on Southern California. SoCal racers have a history of not showing up to rain races (the aversion goes back to the clay-based dirt roads that led into the Saddleback and Carlsbad pits?and it still is in effect 30 years later). Thankfully, REM's Frank Thomason decided to hold the race anyway and the race day was held under clear skies. At 57 degrees it was freezing cold by SoCal standards, but they braved it anyway. They are a hardy crew.
These are Glen Helen's top ten racers from 2012. The guy with the shiny cup is number 1?Randy Skinner.
After a muddy practice the track crew went to work fixing the gooey spots, helped by the bright sun, while at the riders meeting the 2012 Top Ten Awards were handed out along with several special awards. It is nice to see the most dedicated racers get their just reward after a 40-race long season. But, in a surprise move, promoters Frank and Myra Thomason were presented with a large abstract painting by renown painter Jon Ortner, who also happens to be very fast. It's not often that a race promoter is so appreciated by his racers that they give him a present.
With the ceremonies out of the way, the racing began. If there is a theme to any REM race it is almost always the presence of foreign riders?normally Swedish riders, but this weekend it was Australian riders, as Dean Porter, Tyler Whincup, Travis Curtin, Steve Butler and Dan Alamangos were all flying the yellow and green colors.
Dean Porter was the fastest Aussie rider of the weekend. Heck, he was the fastest rider from any country.
And the Aussies had a good day. Porter won the 450 Pro and Open Expert classes, while Steve Butler won the Over-40 Intermediates. Dan Alamangos was third in the Over-40 Intermediates, Travis Curtain was third in the 250 Intermediates and Tyler Whincup was second in the 450 Intermediates.
Aussie Steve Butler starts down the hill towards the lower portion of the REM track. Butler was Jeff Emig's mechanic, the Yamaha team manager and today runs Yamaha's in house testing program.
The two biggest classes of the day were the Over-50 Intermediates and Over-50 Experts. These two classes have grown in size and stature over the last few years?as many former racers from the 1970s have returned to their roots and began racing again (along with those that never quit).
Dean Porter, Travis Curtain and Tyler Whincup had a good day at REM before heading home to Oz.
Over-50 Experts: Jon Ortner swept both motos of the Over-50 Experts riding a KTM 250SX chassis equipped with a Kawasaki KX500 engine. MXA has been testing this project bike for the last week and Ortner was one of three riders chosen this weekend to spend quality time in the saddle to iron out any bugs. Ortner loved it and even grabbed the holeshot in the second moto…nothing unusual about that except that Jon started in third gear and let the massive torque of the KX500 pull him to the first turn. Dave Eropkin, another throwback to the Saddleback and Indian Dunes days went 3-2 for second in front of LightSpeed carbon fiber owner Willie Amaradio (4-2), Hollywood actor Bryan Friday (2-6), former Pro Circuit Husqvarna Pro Mike Monaghan (5-4), Joe Pena (6-6) and two-stroke-mounted Ray Poltack (7-7).
Broc Armbruster won the 250 Pro class on a TM.
Over-50 Intermediates: Joe Sutter took the win with a 3-1 over Manuel Gaspar's 1-3. Russell Brown got third with a 5-2 in front of a top ten that was made up of Lyle Sweeter (dropping down from the Over-60 class), Mark Hall, Mike Phillips, Randy Skinner (who finished second in the first moto, but crashed in moto two), Larry Boulware (who came out to honor the memory of his late brother?four-time REM number one Dennis Boulware?at the riders meeting), Ken Ehlers and Pete Vetrano (still rocking his TM 100MX two-stroke).
Aussie Dan Alamangos has a little trouble with this deep rut. No worries mate.
Broc Armbruster was TM-mounted for the first time and easily won the 250 Pro class.
Aussie Dean Porter lost the first 450 Pro moto to MXA test rider Trent Pugmire, but when Pugmire lost second gear in his transmission in the second moto, Porter took the overall victory with Iowa's Klint Stapes in second.
Zac Commans, Willy Simons Jr., Travis Curtain, Dylan Anderson and Jim Loginer made up the top five in the 250 Intermediate class.
Aaron Collins took the 450 Intermediate victory while Willy Musgrave won the Over-40 Pro class.
MXA enlisted Jon Ortner as one of several test riders chosen to race FMF's 2013 KTM 250SX two-stroke…with a KX500 engine. It is being tested for a future issue of MXA.
For the first time in awhile, there were more than a handful of Over-30 vet riders. The Vet class has been decimated by the economic recession and has all but disappeared. This week there were solid Vet Novice and Vet Intermediate classes. Ryan Abler and MXA's John Basher split moto wins and second place finishes in the Intermediates, with Abler taking the win with a 2-1. Travis Ellis was third, Craig Bouman fourth and Sean Boulware, son of Dennis Boulware, fifth.
Zac Commans took advantage of the rain-soaked dirt to get it down low in the deep ruts.
Justin White went 1-1 in the Vet Novice class in front of a top five of Todd Huegel, Pete Vetrano (again on his screaming 100), Ricardo Gonzalez and Mercedes AMG racing instructor Ernie Becker.
Lyle Sweeter (55) and Tom Holmes (510) try to share the same piece of land in the Over-60 Expert class. Sweeter's 3-1 beat Holmes 1-3.
Other notable victories were Steve Butler's win in the Over-40 Intermediate class?notable because he did it on a Yamaha YZ125 two-stroke. Terry Varner continued his hot streak in the Over-50 Novices with another 1-1 sweep in front of a top five of Brian Underdahl, Paul Doebereiner, Anders Kajander and Michael Healy.
Lyle Sweeter took the Over-60 Expert victory with a 3-1 over a top five of Mic Rodgers (2-2), Tom Holmes (1-3), Jody Weisel (5-4) and Bengt Johansson (4-5).
Willy Simons Jr. throws up a barrage of roost on his way to second in the 250 Intermediate class.
One of the best races of the day was the 65cc battle between Jeff Reynolds and Ford Heit. The two riders traded moto wins and were never more than a couple bike lengths apart all day. REM, with its big hills, deep ruts and infamous square-edged bumps is not a 65cc track, but Reynolds (2-1) and Heit (1-2) made it look smooth.
REM races again next weekend February 16. For more info go to www.remsatmx.com

For the record.... I know the droppings are new because the entire house was cleaned, from top to bottom, just two days age-- So this is a new situation-- And I'm officially freaked out by it. Ugh.

So funny!
A relative had a mouse problem the other day and apparently the trick is to find out where they are entering the house from and seal that hole. They might be too smart for the peanut butter!

Oh dear. There is never only one mouse. Where there is one, there is likely st least five more... then ten ... then, well you get the picture.
They have come in where it is warm, likely feasting on the bugs in your attic.
But then, what do I know? I have three cats! My mice stay behind the walls where it's safe.

Oh Joanna! I think I sent my creature from Oregon to your place. He was big enough to make big poops too. The scary thought is that it is walking around bravely, like he knows exactly where the party is. Hope you catch him soon so you'll have no more big poops.
Thank you for your compliments my friend.

Freakin mice!
We had LOTS of them in our last home, thanks to two piggy teenage sons living like pigs upstairs!
I used peanut butter on traps too... and I caught about 9 all up!
I hope you catch yours before he/she multiplies!!!

I think your window washer might be related to one of my neighbors, just can NEVER understand the guy. nice guy though.
Living in the mountains, mice are a part of life. We use safetraps, they cost about a buck. Then we take the mouse about a mile away from our house (safetrap tucked into a paper bag, because the poor thing is already terrified), and set him/her free.
Good luck with your mouse.

Okay JJ you made me spit coffee reading this, and laughing out loud again. But then the shiver set in at the word - M.O.U.S.E.
I'm not fond of those critters in my house. We had one come in with a fridge we bought years ago and I was beside myself - like you I had traps all over the place. Peanut butter worked the best to lure the critter to the trap and once he was gone I could relax again. Hugs!!

- Green Girl in Wisconsin said...
The best solution to mice around here was our cat, Violet. It's tough, I've heard, in the city because the mice don't have as many natural predators to keep them in check. We actually have fewer problems in the country. Weird, eh?

Hey, mice aren't so bad; they're certainly better than the alternatives -- roaches, or rats! I've heard that mothballs are supposed to keep them away. I've tried them -- I think they work to some extent. But the only sure thing, as suggested, is the cat (but then you've simply traded mouse poop for cat poop!)
- December 1, 2011 at 7:41 AM
- beth said...
LOL....mice can get under closed doors. just saying :)
ps....they like peanut butter and that's what we use on the traps, with cheese, whenever the cottage has a mouse.
fortunately we haven't had any for a long time now....spray foam under all the open areas of the cottage is finally keeping them out !

Oy vey! We have them outside which is bad enough, but inside would truly leave me a neurotic mess.

Hope you capture your little terrorist soon.

This reads like an SNL skit - very funny!
Hate to tell you, but closing doors will not keep mouse/mice out -- if a pencil can roll under the door, so can a mouse (even a RAT in fact). Mice don't bother me so much, but we used to get giant RATS in buildings at the university, especially buildings that contained cafes. An on-going problem. The pest control dudes would try and find the 'point of entry' and seal it up as best they could.
Good luck! And yes, pb works the best, I think, from personal experience.

So we have electric mouse traps. They work great! You put the peanut butter inside and then when they stand on the floor of the trap to eat the bait, zap from the 4 AA batteries sends them to mouse heaven. A light on the outside lets you know you've caught an intruder. It's made by Victor and I highly recommend them.
- December 1, 2011 at 1:09 PM
- Willoughby said...
Oh, Joanna, that was so funny!
We had a mouse in the house last year and he kept emptying the traps without getting caught. I mentioned this to a friend of ours who gave me the best trick. After you bait the trap with peanut butter, slide it into an empty cereal box (or other slim, flat box) laid on its side (the wide side). The mouse doesn't have enough room to steal the bait without getting caught. It worked great, I highly recommend it! Good luck!

What you need is a good mouser cat. Unless you're allergic to cats. The traps will work, too. Just that with a cat around, mice don't tend to come back.
I'm hoping that they're not the larger cousin, too. Mice don't but me, but rats. Ewwww.

I've heard that mint is a nasty smell to a mouse, so you might plant some peppermint leaves or whatnot in places you don't want them (or ESPECIALLY don't want them, as I'm sure you don't actually want them anywhere at all.)

JJ, I needed a good laugh today! At first, I thought you were going to say that your window washer was telling you that you had big boobs or something along those lines. As for the mice, the traps should work. But I am thinking maybe you need to borrow a couple of cats. Mice can smell them, and tend to avoid hanging around. And of course, the cats hunt 'em down :-) Good luck with the poops! LOL!

you can't scare them away, but the sticky traps will work. just remember all traps must be placed up against a wall as mice tend to follow walls as they run....they don't tend to just run out in the middle of rooms.
also, you can lure them to traps with hamster food :)
good luck !!

Many of the posters here have very little info on themselves in their profiles. Personally I would like to know more about others here (not in any specific order):
a) Are they monks or laymen?
b) Who have they learned from?
c) Have they been to any retreats, spent any time in a monestary or are they currently in one?
d) What books have they read that they recommend?
e) How much of the Pali texts have they read?
f) How long have they been "on the path"?
g) Are they available for private meetings or discussions?
h) Are they available as teachers or to meet with (in person)?
The reasons I think this personal information is beneficial is:
a) It might put more "weight" on one's answer if they have been a monk for 15 years vs they have zero experience other then they read a blurb on the Buddha on Wikipedia. I'm not saying a monk is always right and a beginner is always wrong but it is nice to know who is behind an answer (or question).
b) If someone is regarded highly, you can follow their path (read the same books, go to the same teachers, etc)
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put forth this great forum!

Is the Easton S1 stamped legal for little league.
The Easton S1 (SL13S110) is not stamped for Little League play. The model that is legal for Little League is the 2014 Easton S1 (YB14S1).
If I get a Easton XL1 will it be legal for 50/70 league?
If you are playing 50/70 Little League the Easton XL1 (SL14X18) would not be legal. All composite barrel bats must be BBCOR certified.
Just bought a new bat 2014 Easton XL1. How many hits before its broken in?
Composite bats to like the Easton XL1 (SL14X15) or the Easton S1 (SL13S110)do require a break-in period in order to ensure maximum performance. If you do 150-200 hits off a tee or soft-toss. Start at about 40% power and gradually increasing as you get closer to the 150 swing mark. Make sure you rotate the bat a quarter of an inch between each hit to ensure an even break-in.
Product Description
The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its second season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The S1 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Left stranded with a week old truck.
Posted by
I was a proud new owner of a GMC 2010 Sierra, until the power steering pump failed 9 days after I purchased it, with 898 km on it (Purchased May 15, 2010 and it failed on May 24, 2010). Oddly enough, I was at a GM dealership when it broke down looking for a new car for my girlfriend, but it was a holiday Monday and they weren't open. I called on star and they said they would arrange a tow truck for me (but since I was at a dealership, I declined the initial offer.) I did request a taxi or rental vehicle, and the operator told me that the people responsible for that portion of the service do not work holidays and they did not have authority to authorize anything. So with "arm strong steering" I drove the truck back to my house to get my stuff out of the truck and had them pick it up with a tow truck. Then to add insult to injury, I had to beg my girlfriend's parents to take her back home (which is 120km round trip) plus I needed to get something from the store and on the way back I was caught in a rain storm. The next morning I had to take a $20 taxi to work but the driver didn't have a receipt book to give me a record of the expense.
GM did fix the truck the next business day, but it did not resolve my issue of being stranded without transportation, which in my mind is contradictory to the advertising they promote for 24/7 roadside assistance and Customer Courtesy Vehicle Program (which turns out they do not take responsibility for but promote it like crazy). It seems it is in violation of Alberta's Fair Trading Act and Regulations.
I sent emails, letters, and had a few phone calls with the useless, and unsympathetic customer call center, and am left with the impression that GM Canada does not care about its customers after you send them the cheque. I was going to return the truck (after 10 days of ownership)to the dealership but they said if I did they would consider it a used truck and that I would not receive a full refund for the poorly constructed, unreliable vehicle that was manufactured by an unscrupulously corrupt government owned organization. I had honest and fair belief that by buying a vehicle with the road side assistance package that I would have access to emergency transportation regardless of a civic holiday, 3 in the morning or 1 in the after noon. Based on the opinion of my co-workers, friends, and associates, they would have been under the same false assumption that when you buy a GM vehicle that Roadside assistance means something more than a tow truck being dispatched. It makes me concerned that if I broke down outside of town, would have I been able to get back home? Tow trucks are not authorized or insured for transporting passengers, so my girlfriend and I would have been left hitch hiking.
CAMVAP and the Alberta equivalent arbitrators were unable to assist as this was a service issue that resides with the Manufacturer and not the dealership. Due to the limited options left to me, its either shut up or sue them for a replacement vehicle or full refund (and I am not considering shutting up yet).

Money is everything. Maybe that is why foreign auto manufacturers are gaining in popularity and domestic factories are closing. No customer retention. The only one that suffers is not just the customer but the employees that have to make a living and are under the thumb of the management policies and procedures.
Hugh_Jorgen on 06/12/2010:
Exactly what is and isn't covered by their roadside assistance program is clearly spelled out in the documentation you received when you bought the truck. Just because you perceived something different doesn't mean GM is responsible for providing that level of service.
spiderman2 on 06/12/2010:
Don't blame this on the fact that they are now "government motors" they made horrible cars before they were owned by the government too. I had issues with mine soon after purchase and you should count your blessings that they actually fixed it! My advice is save up some money and trade that truck in after a few years. Buy something reliable and you will be much happier!
Shouldvewentford on 06/12/2010:
Hugh, I respect your input to this, however, in Alberta, there are laws about advertising disclosure, and in this case, I strongly feel that GM Canada is acting with disregard to this act. And, regardless of any contract signed, it cannot supercede the laws. If an organization purposely misleads consumers, it needs to held to task.
Shouldvewentford on 06/12/2010:
Also, my real intent here is to inform other consumers that if they purchase a gm product and it fails on a Sunday or holiday (1/6 chances) to not expect GM to live up to its contractual obligations.

You know My grandfather never did like GMC hated them with a purple Passion He used to say GMC stands for Get Mechanic Coming.

Historically Poor Reliability w/ 6 Vehicles
Posted by
A Marc
1995 Lumina: Purchased new. Blew a head gasket at 50k.
1996 Monte Carlo: Purchased new. Blew head gasket at 60k. Recurrent PCV valve problems.
1996 Pontiac Firebird: Purchased new. Over 7k in repair costs at just over 100k miles. Too many problems to list. Mostly electrical. Failing suspension, emissions systems, and transmission (excluding everything already repaired or replaced).
2003 Silverado: Purchased new. Failed emissions systems. 3k in repair at just over 100k miles.
2004 GMC Sierra: Purchased new. Engine replacement at 100,938 miles. Oil pump problem caused internal engine damage. Fuel pump has also been replaced in addition to the engine. 5k in repair costs.
2006 Silverado: Purchased new. Failed fuel pump at 80k miles.
All vehicles in this list were either mine or owned by my family over the past 15 years. All were perfectly maintained over their life and garage kept.
GM has bankrupted, and has poor reliability. Need I say more? You are risking a great deal of time, money, and energy if you are purchasing anything made by GM. Why bother? I will personally never again touch a GM product and actively spread the word about my experience with their vehicles.

I'm not a big fan of GM, but the obvious question here is: Why did you keep buying GM cars?
spiderman2 on 02/16/2011:
My first car was a Chevy Cavalier in the 80s. I had no problems with it. After various vehicles, I purchased a 2001 Chevy Blazer and it was an unreliable piece of garbage. Lesson learned...no more GM products. Why would you and your family keep purchasing GM vehicles year after year when they consistently are of poor quality?

Should have been a recall
Posted by
A letter (allegedly) was sent to the owners of these vehicles dated Nov.2007 stating:if you own one of these vehicles equipped with a 6.6L Duramax diesel engine you may experience service engine soon light illumination, low engine power, hard start, and/or fuel in crankcase, requiring injector replacement. Later in the letter is states,"This is not a recall. Do not take your vehicle to your dealer as a result of this letter unless you believe that your vehicle has the condition as described above". A "special coverage adjustment-injectors-replace dated Dec.8,2009 #04039C" was issued to dealers. It stated that an extended warranty would cover cost for seven years (from the date the vehicle was first placed in service) or 200,000 miles whichever came first.
My vehicle,2003 Silverado HD 2500 has never had any of these symptoms until I left Vermont headed for Florida. We reached N. Carolina and refueled only to see billows of blue smoke coming from the tailpipe. The long and short of the story is we never received this letter, we never had any hard start, loss of power or fuel in crankcase. Our mileage was 107,000, about half of what the warranty covered but we were 90 days over the seven year period. (I guess if you were unfortunate enough to have bought a 2001 vehicle in 2000 your time would have been up when and if you got the letter dated Nov. 2007) In any event GM was not to be moved in any way to help, even partially, on the $5,000.00 bill. Aren't we all glad to have bailed out GM when they were down and out?
Also if you are in the category of trucks mentioned save yourself some money if you can but don't ask to see or take the spent fuel injectors with you after the repair, the dealer will not let you have them. They must be returned to one of two places. The special notice to dealers states "wait until the warranty claim is paid to determine the location to which the injectors must be returned"

even had you received the letter, you said yourself that your vehicle had never had a problem. You still would have been outside of the warranty period by 90 days.
I understand you are upset about needing to fix your vehicle, but even with the letter you would have been unable to get them to help.

not to mention the OP stated the vehicle didn't have the symptoms
would this letter even apply then?
jackiedavis87 on 11/20/2010:

Stay Away from GMC Trucks Part II
Posted by
Wrote review about 2006 Sierra becoming a money pit awhile back....What has happened since is not hing short of unbelievable....Took the truck to dealer in January and left at dealer overnight so dealer they could try to diagnose a noise issue that's been ongoing for weeks Wanted them to hear truck from a cold start....No solution that day even though truck was looked over pretty good...Went back about a week later after spotted a heat shield that was loose...Thought it would no big deal to replace one bolt and add a washer to possibly solve the noise problem(metal had rotted away making hole too big) Was told would have to leave the truck so entire heat shield could be removed as it would take a torch to heat up and remove the entire shield just to get a the rotted one Also told the shield bolts would most likely break and then would need new heard cover but then head cover bolts would break and now we are into the engine block, etc.. They stated talking $1000 potential repair bill..I said All that because of one bolt? At one point service coordinator even suggested to just 'rip the shield right off the head' in an effort to solve the noise issue I said that would lead to more problems as heat shield was there to protect other parts...He said most likely...What are you kidding me? They then called over a mechanic whom had looked over truck on previous visit...He took the truck in the back, welded another bold on to old one. Removed it and put new one in with a washer. Total tome about 15 minutes and no charge....To make a long story short it did not solve the noise issue. Went back again and same mechanic tried a few more solutions to to no avail...I'll give this mechanic credit for making a above average effort but the service coordinator has pretty much lost my confidence forever.....Previous year he tried to tell me dealership had mounted a wiring harness underneath the truck side by side with harness that had gone bad... I had asked to see the defective part and he showed me a small section of a really worn harness saying it was mine...Another counter person took it out of his hands saying belonged to a different truck....That's when he changed to the side by side story..Another local garage confirmed later that day that there was only one harness (new one) underneath the truck...What the heck if you don't want to show the worn parts just make something up?....The long and short of it is I no longer trust GM products and my dealer where I bought truck as new. . Hopefully a local garbage can solve this it noise as is still present.....

Have even more reasons to NEVER BUY FROM GM AGAIN.....The frustrating now you see it now you don't, noise that my dealer could not diagnose turned out to be the muffler falling apart on the inside.I spent way too much time chasing that one down...GM built it like a tank and the outside but they rot on inside, a lot of good that does...A local transmission shop used a listening device (dealer has same but did not offer to use) and found the noise that kept happening at 1500-1700 rpm range...End result cost over $800 to fix...The muffler itself costs about $550. Are you kidding? The factory muffler did not make it past 59,000 miles. Previous truck had original muffler at 130,000 miles when sold it....So long GM that was your last time your products simply don't hold up past 50,000 miles.

ELLSWORTH, MAINE -- My husband and I have always been true, faithful GM buyers. Now we what we have gone through we are trying to trade in our truck and going to buy Ford. To give little history about our truck, we bought the truck new and from day one we have nothing but problems. Tell me that brake pads need to be replaced every 23,000. miles. The rotors glazed at the same mileage and we were told it was normal because new brake pads materials they were made from. We have a 97 Camry and it has 247,000. miles and it has had two sets of brake pads and no new rotors and spends less time being fixed.
You buy new to have dependable transportation. WE are angry and We have been fighting it out at the dealership.

I'm sorry but if your getting 23k out of a set of brakes I don't see what the major issue is? Is that the major repairs that would make you switch cars? Brakes are a wear item and turning rotors is a very common thing on new cars. How do we know how you drive it?
JR in Orlando on 10/12/2009:
Maybe they rest their foot on the brake pedal, or brake too lightly for too long, all of which will wear brake pads. Maybe they pull a trailer or boat, or haul heavy loads putting more demand on the brake system. Also, I believe there is a break in period for brakes pads where they suggest harder braking at first to clean the chemical coating off the pads.

Diesel man
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- I like many other Americans have always purchased American made automobiles, and my family all 30 of us drive GMC's. We have always been Chevy lovers, but my days of driving them are over. My Duramax diesel has been nothing but trouble, Brakes, sensors, seat problems you name it its been in the shop for it, I have even filed for Lemon law on it. GM denies all of it, factory service rep must be paid to lie to thousands of people. I feel sorry for GM, they care more for China and Korea then they do the United States. If you research them you will find that most of their engines are built by Toyota and Honda, they own large percentages of Suzuki, and bought the bankrupt Daewoo in Korea, in hopes to further their goal of getting rid of all the American workers and leave Detroit, and still expect the great people of United States to purchase their vehicles! Did you know that GM makes more $$$ in Africa(Asia) in car sales than they do in the U.S.!
So why are they taking it out on us, the American worker, and saying they have no $$, and crying to the public they are going bankrupt! Bull-s--t! All of their capital is being put into operations off shore! I will buy Toyota next, and I hope that all of Texas reads this and they buy Toyota too! Oh the brakes where supposed to be under warranty for my truck, but they say it was my fault, and its going to be $2400.00 to fix them, my cost, I have 28,000 miles on my truck, there is a plate on the back of your brakes, all disc, and it rusts through, your brakes are gone, no good without this small piece of metal to keep them together, and there is a plate sort of looks like a half moon that is just rusted away, Mechanic tells me this is a common problem, happens all the time, but not GM's fault they use Chinese metal, its not only the toy's now its the cars we drive. General Motors has had so many brake problems in the past that the National Safety board is looking into the problem now after 20 years worth of problems.
My sister bought a 1996 Tahoe, and she still has it because no one will take it in on trade, I thought she was just a very conservative person, and she loves her Tahoe, but all she did was complain about the brakes, and I finally drove it with 160,000 miles on it now it still brakes the way it did when she first drove it she said, no pedal and abs problems all the time, I had no idea they wear that bad I told her, I even took it in to show the Factory service representative, and he said I have seen that Tahoe 15 times in the past along with thousands of others, there is nothing wrong with it.
That did it people I will buy Toyota! Hope this gets to millions before you buy another GM or Chevrolet. Thanks.

Anonymous on 08/31/2007:
For your sister, there is a little known recall on the Tahoes regarding the brakes and ABS. This recall only applies to the northern states. What happens is corrosion from road salt corrodes the ABS sensor and activates the ABS system when it should not causing the vehicle not to stop. I don't remember the years that the recall covers but you may want to research it at the NHTSA website. The announcement was in 2005 I believe. Good Luck

"So why are they taking it out on us"
No, they are not taking it out on us, they just make crappy products.
I am sure forums in Africa and/or Asia are posting the same complains.
This is why Toyota is #1 in new car sales (bypassing GM and Ford).
Pomona Guy on 08/31/2007:
Hey, I love my Tahoe which was made in Wisconson in 2004, but with 35% Mexican parts! I think you are exaggerating quite a bit.

No Satisfaction
Posted by
I have a 2006 GMC pickup truck that the warranty has expired, but it has only 35169 miles on it. I took it to the dealer for a transmission oil leak. While the truck was at the dealer they said the righ front wheel bearing was bad and needed replacement. They also said the rear pinion oil seal was leaking in the drive unit. I had them fix the transmission leak and replace the front hub for a fee of $1853.31, I elected to postpone the rear pinion oil seal repair to later. I contacted GM customer service and explained the proplems I had and I thought they should pay for the repairs because I felt they were defective parts. I've never had any of these problems before at 35169 miles. GM has agreed to pay for the pinion oil seal repair, but will not pay for the transmission repair and front wheel bearing. These are all drive train parts. Gm representative said the cost was too high. I am very dissatisfied with GM and I don't plan to buy another GM product in the future, after driving their trucks for 50 years of my life. I thought the cost of the truck was too high at close to $38000.00 dollars too, but I thought I was getting a good product. WRONG!

2006 Sierra Pick Up a piece of junk
Posted by
big walt
I own a 2006 GMC SIERRA. The brakes needed replacing at 32000 miles. Right after the warranty expired, I needed to replace the right front wheel bearing, anew u-joint and the drivers side door handle broke. I fixed the bearing and u-joint problem myself. 2 weeks later the rear transfer case was leaking. I took it to the dealer and they checked the truck out. I was looking for help as to why all of this was happening to a truck with 45000 miles. After looking at my truck, they said the door handle would cost 123.11 and the transfer case 150.40. They also said the I-shaft was bad and that would cost 182.45. I complained about how this could happen to a truck with only 45000 miles on it. All anyone would say is that I am sorry! How about a little help instead of I am sorry!! This is my first and last GM product if nothing is done.
May the best car win- It is not a GM.

Done With G M C GARBAGE
Posted on
I'm done with G M C. Before 30,000 miles I REPLACED fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, window regulator, E-brake assembly including rotted cables, left speaker and had stereo repaired by Delco 3 times and they never fixed it ! I put 1000 miles on it in the last 2 years, I think I put more miles on it behind a tow truck. At 50,000 miles I started dealing with the speed sensor dilemma. They had a recall to fix it, I believe in 06 only in the salt states and all they do is clean the hub Assembly and put zinc lubricant on it to stop corrosion, lasted 6 months. I had the hubs replaced and cleaned many times, also had to replace all the hydraulic brake lines twice. I go through rotors and brake calipers like crazy. at 67,000 miles the transmission went. I take very good care of my vehicles, this truck is in great shape, but I don't drive it much, I took it out today and I lost my breaks again at 67,437 miles, I just put $500.00 in them 4 months ago .
Over all this truck has been a nightmare my friends and family who owns a 99-03 all have had the same problems with the breaks. The dealership didn't help, G M C corporate didn't care [I spent a lot of time dealing with them ] . This vehicle is very dangerous, unreliable from day one .

Product quality/warranty
Posted by
WACO, TEXAS -- In May of 2004, I purchased a new GMC Sierra 4wd estended cab pickup. From the beginning I experienced a loud "klunking" noise from the drive train, and contacted the dealership and the factory for repairs.
Long story short -- GM informed me that they and their engineers determined there was nothing wrong with the vehicle even though there were thousands of comaplaints about this same problem.
I then contacted the BBB AUTO LINE claim division and they inturn got on GM's case to the point GM offered me a settlement. That settlement was an extended warranty for the Transmission/drive line/4WD unit for 100,000miles or until 1 June 2012. Based on the contents of that warranty, I accepted there settlement.
Recently I have experienced problems with the 4WD on my Pick up. Expecting that the problem would be covered, I had a dealer in my town repair the problem, and to my surprise -- GM REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT!!!!
Repeated phone calls to GM referring them to their own settlement agreement has fallen on deaf ears. GM couldn't care less.
My vehicle is now out of the factory warranty peried (36 months/36,000miles), and GM has played the corporate power game with one of there many, many dissatisfied customers.
Even with a valid warranty GM refuses to abide by their terms and conditions....Never again will I purchase a GM vehicle...

I'm sorry rdmiller, I don't totally buy your "version" of the events. I suspect there is more to the story.
Hugh_Jorgen on 05/13/2008:
You can't just authorize repairs and then send the bill to GM and expect them to just send a check.
I am sure if there is an extended warranty for your truck there is a requirement that you contact them BEFORE any repairs are done so they can determine if the failure is a covered part or not.
Extended warranties have very specific terms and conditions and unless they are followed to the letter they won't pay.

Good post Hugh & Aero, but I can only vote one best answer. OK it's a coin toss, and the winner is .......
DigitalCommando on 05/14/2008:
There's nothing in this review which suggest dishonesty or unknown events. What part of "I had a dealer in my town repair the problem, and to my surprise -- GM REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT!!!!" don't you understand? I have taken vehicles in to several dealerships and the ALL verified warranty coverage with corporate before any work was done. It is not the consumers duty to perform that function when they are at an authorized dealers store. He did not take his vehicle to some 3rd party repair shop, did he?
Aerocave on 05/15/2008:
What I am saying digital is that most components of the 4WD system would be covered under a "normal" powertrain warranty condition...The poster is claiming that GM won't cover or, as he worded "refuses to honor the settlement agreement"--which I'm telling you, I've been in the business almost 20 years and I guarantee you that GM is not going to suddenly "refuse to honor a settlement agreement"--unless there is a legimatate reason to not cover a repair--which is what I suspect is being left out here.

How much do we (Buddhist members of the forum) observe the five precepts while discussing in the forums? How much are we aware of right speech while having discussions?
How much kindness, humility, and other good things are seen in our posts? How much do we boost our "ego" by our posts? (Personally, I have more problems with the last one which I realize later.)
I think this is very important thing to ponder.

Welcome to the Online Office of
Precinct 4 Commissioner
Thank you for taking the time to view our Precinct Four online office. While much of our country deals with its economic challenges, Bexar County continues to grow. To sustain ourselves over time however, we must be open to one of the great constants of history: change. To determine that which is in need of change requires vision - and then guts to make the change reality!
To provide great transactional leadership in getting the everyday business of responding to service calls from constituents is fundamental to any well-run office. It is against this backdrop that I have sought to provide transformational leadership on issues related to our County that change the way business is done, for the betterment of all. They are:
- Energy,
- Health Care,
- Jail Population,
- Transportation,
- Neighborhood Revitalization, and
- Resource Recovery.
And while these are important and line-up with roughly 80% of what the County does in the area of health and justice, there are yet other issues that impinge upon our core tasks. Some of these other areas are water, education and clean air. Water, like all resources, should be conserved wherever possible. In the case of education, we see the effects of a lack of education on our many souls that run through our jail. Need we say more about the need to breathe clean air?
The Texas Legislature always presents its own challenges and opportunities for us.
Finally, it would not be me if I did not mention Texas History and its proper understanding and preservation. We have been the fortunate heirs to a very rich legacy in this regard. It is for us to study it and pass it along to generations that follow. Although I love to talk about the eight separate battles or skirmishes that Bexar County hosted to liberate us from Spain and Mexico, there are many other worthy objects of our attention. Just as an example, the East Side Cemetery Complex, which is chock full of local history along with the many other cemeteries that exist in our County. The list of areas worthy of study and preservation goes on.
In closing, I would borrow from the wise words of President Thomas Jefferson in his first inaugural speech in 1801 upon his election to the Presidency of the United States. "I ask so much confidence only as may give firmness and effect to the legal administration of your affairs. I shall often go wrong through defect of judgment. When right, I shall often be thought wrong by those whose positions will not command a view of the whole ground. I ask your indulgence for my own errors, which will never be intentional, and your support against the errors of others, who may condemn what they would not if seen in all its parts."
May God bless each and every one of you. And, may God bless the rest of the world as much as he has blessed Texas and America!
~ Tommy
