Holden Problems

Holden’s five- and seven-seat SUVs were built in a General Motors facility in the South Korean city of Bupyeong-gu. The replacement vehicles are primarily US-designed, with the Chevrolet Equinox taking over from the Captiva 5, and the GMC Acadia replacing the Captiva 7. The Equinox is currently built in Canada, China, and Mexico, while the Acadia is built in Spring Hill, Tennessee, USA.

That would seem to be the way it’s calibrated, but is it a problem? I don’t think so; it’s just a quirk of the way it works.

Opel produces it at its Russelsheim plant in Germany, but you are correct in that Opel is now part of the PSA group.

The Commodore is not affected by the Takata airbag recall.

Since its launch in 2008 the Holden Colorado has been built in Rayong, Thailand. Interestingly, the Isuzu D-Max it shares its platform with is built in different factories all over the world, including Chile, China, Ecuador, Egypy, Nigeria, The Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Thailand (Samrong-Samutprakan), and Tunisia. Produced in Wentzville, Missouri, the Chevrolet Colorado is an American market vehicle. It features different engine options as well as front-end sheetmetal to look more like the full-size Chevy Silverado pick-up.

Your plan to go to court over the matter is the correct course of action. The auto transmission in your model has been very troublesome and many owners have had problems with them. The only way to fix it is to replace the transmission, which was done once before on your car, and you will potentially have to replace again some time in the future.

 The odometer reading is on the high side of average, which would affect the value. It was also depend on the condition of the car. As a private sale you would probably get $3000-$3500, as a trade-in $1500-$1800.
