Well, my Monaro/GTO has developed its first problem, in a little under 12k miles. images/smilies/sad.gif

ZOMG, Itz teh l3aF sp1ngs!! GM no wai!!1

/What's wrong, the display is all black?

It's because it's revolting against you for making it an automatic.

Wizegui · September 5th, 2006, 6:20 PM

Presumably, its still under warranty so take it to your GM dealer and have it fixed up. They are abit relunctant these days so becareful.

gtrietsc · September 5th, 2006, 6:44 PM

Its a 6 speed manual - they put the same cluster in every car.

Yea, its still under warranty, but its really annoying that something like this has already cropped up. images/smilies/sad.gif

Meh, wouldn't worry about it, it's all part of owning a car.. right?

epp_b · September 5th, 2006, 7:25 PM

I wouldn't be concerned if it's on warranty. Just take it in, it shouldn't cost you a thing images/smilies/smile.gif

skaternick · September 5th, 2006, 7:26 PM

You still have yet to clarify the problem...

t3h r0x0rs · September 5th, 2006, 7:39 PM

The blackened out display? That sucks.. but you did mention it's still under warranty, so it's not all that bad, eh?

Is the picture not showing up for you? It shouldnt look like that. Thats where the odometer reading is, among other things.

I know it will be covered, but how many days will I have to drive a Chevy Colbalt while they figure out what is wrong and fix it? Plus the time and inconvienience of having to take it in in the first place.

Ah alright. I saw what I thought were just blurred characters on the display, didn't think twice about it.

moron.

And gtrietsc, that's not cool but thank God it's under warranty. Could just be some dodgy wiring or perhaps a software issue images/smilies/sad.gif

No big problem, thankfully, just a minor annoyance. At least the roof didn't fall off/the panels didn't rust off/the head gaskets didn't explode/the rabid chipmunks didn't escape from the trunk and raped and slaughtered your family because all American cars are equipped with them these days. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Well I did, and watch out...this is a once-in-a-lifetime epic event. Like a non-shitty Lifetime movie. Oh wait, that's impossible.

Pwwt... Drop it off at the dealer, an hour of labor later you're fine.

Compared to my A4... I havent driven that car for a month now.

New throttle body
CV axle
Rotors + Pads
2 bits of suspension thats connected to the control arms
Valve Cover seals
The only thing keeping me from driving my car right now is the ECU, I had to get a new one, but after replacement, everything runs fine but the glaring check engine light that says there is a bad TCU/ ECU connection somewhere images/smilies/cry.gif
