2006 Holden VE Commodore SV6 Warranty Complaint

2006 Holden VE Commodore SV6

Name: Gregory muller
Car Make:  Holden Commodore
Car Model: VE SV6
Year of Manufacture: 2006

Warranty Complaint:

Fuel cap locking release makes a high pitch sound when car is being unlocked, beyond what is acceptable as normal operating noise. This is a brand new car!! I advised service centre and their response was that this is normal.

I have already taken the car back for warranty claims; one-squeaky (noisy) door trim, two-suspension was making noise and was found to be break shims needing to be replaced. And i just had a water leak repaired satisfactorily, front driver-side under the dash.

If i need to find my car in a parking lot i just hit unlock and listen for the fuel cap release!

    Hi!
    Interesting comments. I love my SV6 but am having issues.I hit a large pot hole recently and broke a front shock absorber. It was replaced a week after 20K service when the dealer had to order the part from interstate?
    Interestingly they charged exactly the same amount for the repair as the service a week before? I would have thought the shocker would have been a warranty claim. They said it was “Wear & Tear” (Why would a shocker break after running over a pot hole? Isn’t the suspension designed for that?)
    I am not happy with the front suspension yet. It is still noisy. The dealer could not do a wheel allignment after replacing the shocker so I am taking the car somewhere else.I will ask them about the noise?
    Anyway on the weekend the “Check Engine” indicator came on (The car was serviced 4000km ago) he dealer told me it probably just needs a “Software Update” Will see what happens after I drop it off tomorrow?
    I have a broken under dash panel on the drivers side. That was my fault. I tried to pull it off to find somewhere to connect a 12V supply to the UHF radio I have installed. It broke very easily and is another thing to get fixed.(Any one know a good place to connect my UHF radio?)
    The clutch pedal is squeaky. Everything else seems to be OK?

    Hi,

    We have a 08 Comm SV6, 17km on the meter when we got it – had not even had it 2 days and the CD player went, took it back to Holden and they said they’d look at it when we took it in for its first service 3000km, so we couldn’t listen to any sounds without it beeping continuosly for first month.

    Got it serviced and it seemed to not completely fix it but it doesn’t happen as frequently but it does still happen 16months later.

    Some months ago, we noticed that the brake lights would not go off and the ESC would beep at us and say it had been turned off, did anyone else have this problem? I took it to our local mechanic who said this was a defect with these cars and Holden were recalling them because of the faulty electrics. We never got that letter and its still playing up to this day!

    We bought this car straight out of the box as they say, and for it to be faulty and we have to deal with it i don’t think is right or wait for the next service.
    I don’t like driving it with my children incase someone rearends me, ive had guys screaming at me because of the lights, Auto Electrician wont touch it because its a Holden error, Take it straight back to Holden i was told, to get there and they say just tell us next time you bring it for a service. Just great!
