My list of problems...
I've had the car for 7 months/7,300 kms:
- New alternator installed
- Service Active Handling problem - changed a sensor in the steering column
- Liner in trunk came apart (dealer re-glued but coming apart again)
- Car does not start intermittently - dealer can't fix (hands up in the air) ****this is a nasty one*****
- Play in steering wheel (this is debatable)
- Buzz in door panel had to be fixed by re-installing the door panel
- Cruise control stopped working but day before appt at dealer mysteriously starting working again - waiting to fail again
- Ringing sound coming from exhaust at tail of car (dealer won't fix)
I think that is enough for 7 months?

My only regret is that Chevy treats me like I bought a Cobalt when I bring my '06 in for service.
Other than that, once I figure out the last two rattles, I think I will be happy with the car itself.
