This just started happening while resting in the vehicle waiting for a ferry to drive onto. We were moving seats up and down as we got in and out vehicle several times while awaiting for a ferry at a ferry terminal on the east coast. Suddenly i goto start the vehicle and goes to a lying down seat position and i had to move it back up and same with easy exit. I never touch set buttons So i repogram my seats and memory holds for a bit. We board a ferry come off my memory gone again. So i reprogram and fine for a while. Then while resting in the vehicle on another day at a lighthouse sightseeing my wife starts vehicle with her fob and her programmed seat position is gone as well and changed to a lying down positions . Im able to reprogram but it does not seem to last. What could it be? Is a module going bad might it have anything do with being near saltwater dampness?
Just reviewed my owners warranty manual , it explicitly covers oil cooler lines and hoses under the 5 year powertrain 160000 warranty i cant believe the dealer missed this. Now i need to pursue a refund
At dealer getting oil change they noticed a leak from the oil cooler hose. At 47000kms . Turns gmpp does not cover it. My contract does exclude hoses under certain maintenance items not covered. This is a maintenance item? Appratly if this hose pops off while your driving’s you risk catastrophic engine failure. Just wonder if anyone has some advice or comments its 400 cad repair.
I understand replace pads when worn. Dealer keeps recommending a brake service (clean and lubricate) to extend life of pads and brakes. Is this necessary and at how many ima from new? I was thinking doing at the 50000 mark my brakes are not even half worn maybe if I recall 35% worn. They wrote on my bill brake service overdue . I don’t see manual recommending brake service. Could this affect my warranty if I don’t do it? Is a brake service lube and clean necessary and at what kms I would say maybe at the half life of the pads? I am canada so roads are salty in winter
Go to a different gm dealer and ask if there is an internal recall. Some dealers drop the ball in awareness or looking them up. Happen to me once with Toyota on another issue. Show them the paint issue, have them explain what it is. What’s the issue ? You getting bubbling or discolouring?. I know fading from sunlight is normal wear and tear.
Trying looking through settings to do a return to factory settings. Maybe the dead battery causes issues with radio having low voltage corrupting it. If there is a way to reboot it could fix it. If does not do it maybe tge dealer can reflash it. Im just speculating.
I bought mine in march 2018, by factory order and it arrived in may 2018. This enabled me to pick and pay for just what i wanted. I don't go for all bells that usually come on the ones that ship to the dealer. Its amazing that the most highly equipped models are the biggest sellers such as a loaded premier or a yukon denali. What is there to watch out for on shark fin antennas? I heard they can leak but ive never seen any water coming into the cabin. There are few times where sirius shorts out but appears thats just sirius or after i drive under a bridge. I don't like the performance of the fm wire antenna in rear cargo right side window. I find mine has a lot of static on various stations that doesn't happen in my other car which has a standard 8 or so inch roof mount antenna. Could there be something wrong there? I presumed maybe not as other times it works well depending on where i am. I just think its a bit flaky. My brothers kia came dual wire fm antenna on both left and rear sides and that seems a better way to do it. What is there to watch for on the ac condenser? Mine drops a lot of water condensation once i park it. But all my cars have done that so I'd think its normal being a large vehicle. Do i just monitor for reduced performance less cooling? I find performance of motor and transmission perfect so far very smooth powerful no hesitations. Yes i know I've seen a lot of reports on this forum of some pretty serious issues but i notice trends of such is with used purchases. I believe if you buy a 2 or 3 year old vehicle its a high chance of some issues as many prior owners are demos rentals or people who just never cared for them. Ive always purchased new 3 vehicles and all have been solid. Gmpp is 1st ext warranty ive bought and i bought it as risk of loss was too high given just the cost and number of complex parts alone. I think the computerization and simplification of some parts ( parts that cant be repaired and have to be replaced) warrants a warranty on most vehicles today. On one of my other vehicle's one circuit board blew resulted in a second board blowing with it . This resulted in an 800$ repair on a 10 year old vehicle which heating fan speed adjustment failed. a suburban with tri vents control . Im sure a lot can go wrong . What bothers me is at after 84 months im on my own for this vehicle. Ill need to put another fund aside in a savings acct just for after 84 months
Wow now that is pro active. Many people may have something wrong but may not realize it until its too late. Your right on top of testing your vehicle and knowing it well.
What was the nature of 2 warranty claims? I just like to know what to look out for and always curious as to issues people experience hence one of the reasons why im in this forum.
