Life is too short if it makes you smile who cares what others think... It makes me smile everytime I drive it and I drive it as much as I can......Rock on!!

I must say that the quest to satisfiy the SSR owners from GM is far more less than the C6 owners. I would like to ask the Corvette owners who try and convince us SSR owners that we bought a sports car instead of a sport truck a few things. First of all we all have the common sense to know the difference. Do you have wind noise with the top up and the doors closed?, Do you have windows that will not go up under the weather stripping?, Do you have a rear end that whines when you decelerate?, Do you have a trunk that will not open without pulling it up?, Do you have windows that are scratched because the rubber seals do not have felt on them like "EVERY" car made on the planet has?, Do you have drink holders that will not come out of the dash each time you push them?, Do you have unbearable road noise from the holes behind the seats that corvettes don't have? Do you have the deployed air bag light and message showing all the time? Do you have GM reps saying that they never had any other complaints like this? Well it is quite simple, I paid nearly $50.000.00 for my SSR and I expect not to have the defects that we are having. It seems that GM did not prove the SSR as they did the C6. So why should we expect less. If you are one of the very small percentage that has a trouble free SSR and is 100% satisfied, then pardon me! I love my SSR, but hate knowing that the amount of complaints I have seen and read on this forum has warranted no recalls or upgrades to solve any of these issues. It isn't as though GM has made 10's of thousands of these autos. Probably the least production car on their inventory with the least attention to correcting some very simple mistakes. How much would you say that felt cost on the window seals? Maybe 50 cents or less? And how much for the continued replacement glass. $300.00 each?

I say check your state for the Lemon Law , in Texas it is 3 times for the exact same problem that can't be fixed and they will take it back. Myself., I will drive it forever.

I don't intend to return it as much as I am determine to have the dealership correct it. The only peoblem is the dealership has done every thing they can and it is GM and the so called local AVM rep that refuses to admit that no one else is having the problems and acts like I am to particular. "Give me a break" I love this ride and will fight to keep it, but want it correct. Anyone out there have a phone number for a GM supervisor that will help. I have not had any results. By the way in Missouri it is 4 times on any one item that they can't fix unber our lemon law. My window propblem has been back 5 times. Get this, the mechanic scratched the aluminum on the passanger door panel, and it took 13 weeks to get a replacement. Well to my surprise I went to look at the new Red SSR ting in their showroon to see if my windshield wipers were supose to be up on the glass as high as they were and guess what? I found my damaged door panel on a new showroom SSR. They had the courage to tell me that it came from Mischigan that way. I even showed them the soda splatters on it that happened while I owned it. I just wished GM reps would read these forums and take action. :nopity

Thanks to all for the swift emails and replies. I have come to believe that birds of a feather really do stick together. I have had some wonderful replies and names and phone numbers that I had no way of getting. I feel that we should all be heard on some of these defects that will cost all of us down the road if GM dosen't take some immediate action especially if it is true about 05' being the last production year. I just talked to another SSR owner that has both windows scratching due to no felt on the rubber seals. He is furious because his dealer told him "he should not drive on dirt roads with the windows down". He said that would keep the dirt and dust from getting on the rubber.

How about all of us posting the worlds most stupid replies from GM service managers when it comes to getting repairs.

Here is my first one. This is the fix to my passenger window always rolling up over the rubber instead of under it.

Quote by service manager "Sometimes it goes up under the rubber and sometimes you can see it won't" the problem is, that was my complaint and he used the same complaint as the answer to its repair, DAAAA!
