GM knows the problem exists!
If we waste 2-4 hours of our day to bring our new cars to a GM dealer
to get something fixed that bothers us then fauking fix it. Don't tell
us to go away and live with it. I can't understand why some people
on here give GM a free pass because it hasn't affected them yet or
why they say "I just spent $3,000 of my own money to fix GM's defect"
It's GM's problem and everyone needs to start putting pressure on GM
to fix it. I consider the crappy throttle response to be another defect that
GM should provide a tune under warranty to fix it. Instead people need
to pay $800 and void their warranty to have a custom tune performed in
order to fix the throttle response to remove the delay and make it as
responsive as any non-GM AT.
The A8 sucks but both issues can be fixed if GM bean counters weren't
dodging the warranty repair costs.

I should have figured something like this would happen. I loved my Saturn and drove that car into the dirt. But when the power steering issues initially developed on it, at first GM recalled it on the Cobalt but put out an extended warranty for Saturn owners. Thankfully that was pretty cut and dry and the dealer quickly fixed it for me. Can't really argue with it when the car lost power steering literally 15 seconds into any drive. I think they eventually expanded the recall for the Ion as well. Saturn was always their redheaded step child, so I figured that was why. All of these issues coupled with a horrible experience from the first dealer I went to with this Camaro, I don't think I'll be buying GM again. I did see that there's the class action lawsuit, so hopefully that'll give them a swift kick in the rear and they will recall it. I'm sure the reason they haven't is because there's so many A8s running around out there that it would be big $$$ for them to recall and flush all of them.
