“Component 1 - exhaust manifold the bolts that secure the exhaust manifold break from the heat cycling onf the manifold. The solution is to replace them with stronger bolts that were supplied by GM. The issue here is that there is an extreme danger of exhaust gases leaking into the vehicle because of poor fitting manifolds. A very dangerous condition and presently not covered by GM warranties. Component 2 - steering wheel horn. This horn has a nickname of the sledgehammer horn since it takes considerable force to sound the horn. …”
