2222 brakes are shot (my fault rookie at manual ) 
clutch seems to be holding up i guess
clutch seems to be holding up i guess4800 when my service department did the cps recall they forgot to reset the timing which caused the ecu to stop working so i have a new one in the car. also about 2 weeks ago the coolant reservoir seal went and sent coolant everywhere. thats it so far i'm sure i'll break something when i buy psi-fi's kit
About 5300... cam shaft sensor seal replaced right around 3000 (no leak, got the letter, got it fixed)... fixed improperly wired intercooler water pump at about 4700 miles (no real issues experienced... just hate to have something not right from the manufacturer).

I just got my car back because for some reason when i hit the locks it blew the fuse for the computer. It was really weird. Then I get an SES light because of something in the fuel regulator when the computer went out but it still ran just fine. It was about a 2 hour fix but I only have 3800 miles. I've also had a interior plastic pillar that was warped and a tear in my steering wheel.

My 04 cavalier was definitely a friday car. The Ignition module and cat were replaced before it hit 3000 miles. Its gotta be the same situation with my redline

10,100 miles roughly, nothin major so far. Just the recall and reflash. Most else seems to be goin good.
just broke into the 12000 mile range. intercooler water pump wired improperly, oil leaked because of the cps, fixed then fixed again with the recall, rotor gouging (i assume it's cheap steel GM uses), bumper scratching, car died when clutch depressed after hard freeway driving, hadn't happened since the PCM update (no erratic RPM bounce either).
otherwise it's been good, nothing above was really serious except the oil leaking (4 quarts) and the water pump. i'll be getting upgraded rotors at some point, but for now they'll work even if they squeak.

12000 miles. A few paint issues fixed. camshaft thingy. Vent solinoid. new gas cap. I think my front rotors are getting warped cause I only feel it when braking hard.

Wow, I am suprised that these cars are having so many problems with so few miles.
I guess it's because they are :
A) First year
B) GM (Not the best but they are better than this!)
C) Performance vehicles.
I think it's mostly A and C. My dad had a GM wagon that did 175,000 miles with very few problems but he takes care of his car and drives like grandpa. As such, every car we've had has been reliable.
These cars shouldn't have so many niggles with so few miles. How are the 2005s holding up? Are they mostly trouble free?
