GM called my husband on Monday afternoon and told him that GM would replace the tank and hose at no cost to us which is terrific news since our warranty ran out. BUT - does this mean there is a potential problem with the set up of the gas tanks on the RDVs?
43,000 -
Four new tires
New gas tank/hose
New CD/Cassette stereo
I guess I should knock on wood at this point. Though I do have a volume button with the chipped paint.
I do feel that if you have the option to purchase extended warrant - DO IT. I wish we did.
I assume you've been rotating your tires in the modified-X pattern in the owners manual. Out-of-warranty means you've got 36,000 mi that would be 5 times they've been rotated and rebalanced so far...???
What brand tires are they?
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
The manual says to pop in a cleaning cassette, which I did, and to hold down the cassette eject button to clear the message. No matter what I do the message won't clear. I push the button for 5 seconds (as the manual says) the cassette ejects and next time I plug in the cassette I get the same message. I tried holding the button as I plugged in the cassette, holding the button with no cassette and just about every other combo you could think of. The funny part is that the "cassette" I'm using is connected to my iPod so the player isn't even playing I tape.
Any help before I have to (shudder) bring it in for servicing?
Thanks

But they're not the same tire.
That's like saying Kia is the same as Buick

Chrysler and Mercedes are one and the same.
Wishful thinking!!!

I just got an iPod (a portable music player made by Apple Computer) and want to use it in my '02 CXL. I have the 6 disc changer, so no tape player to use the tape adapter in. I have considered buying an FM modulator that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack and then sends the signal over an unused FM frequency to be played through the Rondy's stereo, but have heard enough mixed reports of their success, that I am considering another option. It's possible to buy an adapter of sorts that plugs into the antenna wire "inline" and allows you to then tune into the iPod using the radio, but with much better reception.
Frankly, that's about all I know about the inline adapter, but my real question is this: Does anyone know where the antenna line is in the RDV and whether or not it is hard to get to? Does it require removing much of the dash or anything to get to it?
Any other thoughts on how to use the iPod in my RDV?

My vous sometimes will not start unless you leave the key in the ignition for a few seconds and then the service engine soon comes on. When you turn the car off, the radio comes on (even if you left it off) for about 5 seconds.
Also my rear view mirror fell off (no big deal to glue it back on.)
I'm new here. Bought a 2003 leftover less than a month ago. Has anyone had a problem with their windshield wipers? It seems like the blades on mine don't oscillate so on the way up, they ride smooth, but on the way down, they catch the windshield and hop their way down. If I use the washer, they seem to be better so I figure the upswing takes the rain off, but being dry on the downswing, they catch the glass. I'm not a brain surgeon, but if I can figure this out, can't the GM guys? I think what's needed is a blade that completely oscillates in a flatter angle. Is there something like that or has anyone ever bought this in for service. I'm gonna mention it when I go in for my first oil change. Thanks for any advise. BTW, this forum is scaring the hell out of me.

Lightly go along the rubber of the wipe blade also.
Works for my cars.

Even tires may soon start having a "sell by" date soon. They will deterioate over time even with low mileage.
I now use the new Trico teflon blades for the rest of the year and they're wonderful.
Mine was changed 3 times under warranty. GM is a company that would not do such things - I've been getting faulty reading on my fuel gauge for over 6 months now and everytime I complained they just add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and said to see if it fixes it during the next two gas filled up. We can create a letter and ask everyone on this message board who had that BCM problem to sign it and sent it to GM - may be that would get them moving.

Well I had one bcm replaced a few months ago under warranty, now I have another one replaced not under warranty. GM should address this issue as this is ridiculous.

Hi Rewinding:

The second time my service engine soon light came on I thought it might be the same problem but it wasn't. It was clogged fuel injectors. And the 3rd time it came on about a year later it was clogged fuel injectors again and $300 out of my pocket. The third time they also cleaned the throttle box and did something else. Don't quite remember what it was.
I anyone aware of BCM problems with the 2003 Model?
Thanks!
I have a 03 CXL AWD with approx 6K on it. The car developed a creaking noise from the front end , when you make a LHT or a RHT. This started at 1200 miles , it's been to the dealer 6X they replaced a load of parts still makes the noise anybody out there have this problem ??? Please help. Thanks Phil
I got the service engine soon message, security and the radio was locked. Drove to work (5 miles), turned the car off, it restarted with no errors. I called the dealer, and they kept it all day, and ended up replacing the BCM. They WO said it was shorted and I had over 50 error codes stored in the computer.

any suggestion other than go to the dealer??!!
Dealer told me the remedy was to reprogram the BCM...but that would cause other "user programmable features to become inoperative" so they left it.
I think the Rendezvous' BCM needs another year of Beta testing...
