Now this compressor is on back order until September
so now we are looking at 5 months without my truck
this is insane
what’s next step ?
create a complaint with gm corporate?
Will that do anything?
Keeps getting better
I asked them to check the ac while it was in the shop for 3 months
they basically refused and blew me off and said if it was blowing cold it was working
when I picked up the truck Friday it was blowing hot air while in parking lot
they drove it around the dealership and then blew cold and they said it was working fine
today same thing , leave lunch sitting in parking lot blowing hot as air
then go to drive away it blows ice cold
immediately took back to dealer and demanded they test ac compressor
it was the low side blowing weak
they are going to replace compressor , I had to get another loaner
help me understand why I constantly have to go over the service advisors head to get anything done
this is an epic failure on all levels
This truck has been to Maine , Montana, and Florida and everywhere in between
insanely lucky 2 of 3 major instances happened less than 30 miles from home
one tcm issue happened 200 miles from home luckily I had a friend close by to take my dogs and I home
If you drop the pan on the 10 speed you will want to change the transmission filter as well
if not you would just be a doing a flush and fill and not removing the pan
Yes they say they found one Michigan and hoping to get it in this week
my truck has been on their rack 3 weeks with engine torn down
they are motivated to get this resolved and off their rack
Well my truck has been there 2 months
it needs camshaft lifters etc for the tune of $9,000.00
my deductible is $200
the extended warranty co will cover this expense
but I’m opting for a new engine that will come with a 100,000 mile warranty
the after market warranty co will pay $9,000 and I’ll pay the difference out of pocket for the new engine
Well I just got a phone call from the dealer. Thinking the call would be that truck was ready . Nope!
When they got into the engine they saw the cam shaft was worn
now they are having the insurance adjuster to come and represent the extended warranty company
they will put their input in on a path forward
we keep mixing old parts with new parts
at what point and who is final decision maker on if u get a new engine
Well I finally have an update , it’s the right bank of lifters
the dealer worked with the extended warranty company to swap out both banks of lifters
this will come with a 2 year unlimited mile warranty
total cost of repair is $4900, I will pay $200 per my deductible on my extended warranty
I have no idea what’s truly going on with the truck at this point
all I know is they plug it up last week and stated misfire on cyl 8, other than that the truck has not moved in the parking lot all week per onstar
id imagine it will be a while before they tear into it and get a true diagnosis then we will see what warranty co has to say
thanks
thank you new dude
so when the service advisor calls me and gives me the report once they tear into the engine,
the most important question to be asking is finding out if any metal shavings were present when they began the tear down process
