1996 Chevrolet Corsica

I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. IN PAST YEAR, ENCOUNTERED MANY EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS. HEAD GASKET BLEW AND WATER PUMP REPLACED AT APPROX 56,000 MILES. CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS NEED REPLACEMENT AT 60,000 MILES? I DRIVE THIS CAR TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY, NO LONG TRIPS, AVG MILEAGE PER DAY = 10 MILES POSSIBLY. CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY 5 YEAR OLD CAR IS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS W/LOW MILEAGE. MAINTAIN IT REGULARLY.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED WHEN DRIVING REAR OF VEHICLE WAS SWAYING ON ROAD. CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER NOTICED LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS OUT OF POSITION, CAUSING THE PROBLEM. DEALER REPLACED LOWER CONTROL ARM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK CONSUMER STATES SHE DID CONTACT DEALER, CONSUMER WENT TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP TO HAVE WORK PERFORMED.CONSUMER ALSO HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED.*JB

THE DATES I HAVE GIVEN ARE NOT EXACT - THEY WERE A ESTIMATION. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAS GIVEN ME QUIT A BIT OF FLACK ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS. EVEN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY I STILL TO THIS DAY CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AT THIS TIME THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT, THERE IS A BAFFLING LOSE IN THE CATYLITIC CONVERTER - THAT CONSTANTLY CLANKS WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE CARS PAINT IS PEELING AND CHIPPING. WHEN I HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BY SEVERAL AUTO BODY SHOPS THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A "FRIDAY CAR" AND A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE FRONT SUSPENTION CONTINUES TO SQUEEK LOUDLY WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE I RECEIVED A LEMON OF A DEAL WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.
