My first problem was a defective shift lever that became apparent at 700 miles. The shift lever had a loud rattle as soon as the engine was running at 3,000 RPM, and would sometimes pop out of gear on its own. My dealer replaced the shift lever, and that took care of my first problem with my GTO.
The second problem that I had was a bad differential. My dealer is in the process of replacing it. I may have observed problem number three while I was taking my GTO back to the dealership the other day, because I observed a high engine temperature alarm on my center dashboard display, and I also saw the engine temperature indicator go all of the way to the right, then instantly back to the normal indication. I checked the coolant level, and oberved it as being normal. The false alarm has not reappeared again since it first activated. I have heard about a 04 GTO gremlin that causes the speed odometer to occasionally falsely display 200 MPH when the car is idling, but I have not had that problem with my GTO. I wonder if this gremlin may have found its way into my temperature indicator instead of my speed odometer.
Does anyone know when a consumer can declare a car a lemon, and force their dealer to replace the car completely?
I think my dealer owes me an 05 GTO in order to compensate me for selling me a brand new car that has already had 2, and possibly 3 major problems problems within the car's first 3,000 miles.
