My Holden Company Cars...oh dear!!

[turbojetboy]

Obviously I am a bit of a ford man, but I have previously had no real issue with Holdens.....until i was given a used 3 year old company car commodore that had just clicked over 100,000km. No end of trouble! Engine warning light problems, sudden and erratic transmission shift problems with associated fault codes, creaking and rattling, all from a car the was regularly dealer serviced. The trans faults where never fixed despite some big bills, so at 122,000km I was given a brand new Holden Colorado. That was wednesday night last week, driven exactly 15 km and bingo engine warning light on permenantly. Back to dealer next day, all day for new ego sensors. Got it back thurs night, dealer fitted bluetooth no/go and reverse camera rolling picture like and old tv with no vertical hold. Holden endorsed canopy leaking like Titanic from everyhere - in just some minor showers. Leave home Friday morning pull out of driveway, loud clunk and shudder throughout car. Stopped immediately and looked everywhere underneath - all looks ok. Rang my manager who is watching this car very closely as it is our first Colorado. Advised to take back to dealer again. Steering now totally lost self centering action - you have to pull it back to the dead ahead position! Also intermittent wipers no/go and interior light switch failed. Now it has been at the dealer for 2 more days with apparently failed bush in front rhs side rails.

All of this from a car that has done just over 100km. I have never seen anything like it and seriously doubt that this car is built to a reasonable standard. The dealership is of course bending over backwards but it is all too late, my fleet manager has told me this will be the one and only Colorado.

Holden quality..............I dont think so!
