Thank u - i feel the same. We all should look in2 getting whatever we can within reason 4 the inconvenience. We dont buy brand new 50k - 60k+ trucks & think this is going 2 happen; let alone be without them for wks or months at a time, right? Again, if it was taken care of in a cpl wks or so, i wouldn't have an issue & i understand that things happen... But there comes a point when u should stick up 4 yourself & b treated right & compensated.

Omfg - if u read my last post, u will note i didnt say this situation nor what they were offering me or not offering me was "due 2 being a woman" - i said i feel like they keep pushing it back further & further & saying things like oh yeah was 2 b done last wk but then we determined we needed more bolts ordered & then next time it was oh we started it & a wire got crossed so that held it up, then next excuse aftr telling me i could plan on Friday aftrnoon was oh we think we need 2 road test it more, etc, etc. I in no way feel this happened due to my gender; what i meant was i kinda feel like they keep giving me excuses & think im just gonna deal w it. I dont go around blaming things on that but i have ran in2 that a few times in my years. I have only worked w predominately male oriented fields & have been in2 racing, cars, trucks, etc 4 most of my life & i dont use that as a crutch; except when blatantly in my face. Like try calling an auto parts store or ordering tires & such & a lot of guys treat me as if i don't know what im talking about. & my favorite is when i get asked "is that your husband's truck?" no sir, i picked it out, picked out accessories, paid 4 it, & drive it every day & i do not have a husband at the moment. So no, i dont just jump 2 that conclusion, but it does happen. Im not crying out discrimination 2 them, i have enjoyed a gr8 relationship w this dealer for about 20 yrs & r guy is vry nice 2 me & will tell u himself that i know more about trucks than sum of his sales ppl. But at sum point frustration takes over & u just wonder like do u think im just going 2 keep letting myself get told wk aftr wk that oh yeah, gonna b anothr wk & such & y is it that way. They have had ample time imo 2 get parts, work on it, test it, etc & a month seems a bit much 2 me. Maybe not 2 u??? & im not looking 2 sue any1 over this - again, i want all of us dealing w this 2 get treated properly & compensated 4 the inconvenience, etc. Im so sorry i ever said anything 2 begin with but i kinda think u may b the type who gets off on throwing your 2 cents in on everything, eh? & not due 2 group think; i feel 4 all going thru this & think we all have a right 2 complain & this seemed like a good place 2 share ideas, questions, comments, concerns, etc. Not tear any1 else down.

Wow I thought we were all of like mind on this site & it was a good place 2 discuss these issues we r facing; I guess I'm wrong. No I don't feel that it is 2 much 2 ask 4 more things when we already know there is an issue w these valve springs/engines & there isn't an actual recall yet, just a service bulletin when they very well kno there is a major problem affecting several vehicles. & if u guys who commented 2 me really think I'm being unreasonable; then I guess u don't value yourselves as much as u should. I saw anothr person comment that they were driving a new truck from their dealer until it theirs is fixed properly & its gonna b 20 + days 4 them & they want more 2 & on a cpl othr sites, othrs have commented that the dealer is working on getting them payment reimbursement & some othr odds & ends 2 compensate them. That's only fair in my book. If it was a matter of a week or so, I wouldn't have an issue as yeah ****** happens & as long as they r taking care of it properly, no big deal. Well sorry but when I only drove it 3 days & am doing w/out it for a month & already had 2 make a payment, your damn right I expect 2 b properly compensated. We all should. My biggest issue really is that the dealer keeps telling me every wk it will b ready & then it keeps getting pushed back. Was told 2 wks ago it would b ready & wasn't then on Thursday would b ready Friday, then calld on Friday saying prob by end of day, then said well Saturday then well no probably Monday, etc. Just b straight up w me - that's what I meant by being treated differently 4 being a woman. I also kno for a fact that a man in Buffalo area that this happened 2 is also getting payment reimbursement & accessory cash & he was only out of his for about 10 days. So no im not over it yet & I truly wondered what othrs on here felt was appropriate. But I guess I won't comment about this anymore if y'all feel I'm unreasonable. & the only reason I don't want a buy back is because it will take months 2 do, they already sold my truck I traded in, & I don't want 2 b dealing w this & w/out a truck months down the road. I really just want the truck I bought that I love, want it done properly & b done w this. If we all push 2 get respected; mayb next time this happens 2 ppl, there will b sum sort of precedent set.

So another update on my 2020 trail boss w 6.2... After having engine replaced was told could pick it up 2 wks ago, then last Friday, then Saturday... Well now they r saying probably Monday as something got re-wired wrong & they need add'l time 2 dbl ck it & test drive it some more, etc. Im on day 25 of being w/out my truck now & if they actually come thru on Monday it will be 27 days... Just had 2 make my 1st payment & only drove it 3 days/145 miles. I understand that there can b parts issues & that it takes time 2 get new parts in & get things put back together but almost a month w/out it is completely unacceptable 2 me! Im so frustrated now i cant believe it. They couldn't get me a new loaner truck at the time so they got me a GMC Acadia thru rental company. While i appreciate the rental; i sure as hell didn't buy an Acadia & not happy w it or how im being treated at this point. They also offered 2 do a buy back & get me a new truck but was told that will take a cpl months probably. So im kinda bent over at this point w no choice but 2 ride this mess out i guess. This just completely ruined the whole new truck experience 4 me. My family has exclusively bought all r vehicles from this dealer since 2000 ish i believe & we have only bought new Silverado's & Tahoe's for about 15 yrs. Again, loyal 2 a fault 2 them & Chevy but this just really pisses me off. Not sure if im getting treated worse cause im female & they think they can just pat me on the head & i will suck it up or if this just is what it is so 2 speak. They r working out some things 2 try & make things right like a payment reimbursement & going 2 pay 4 my BFG tires i ordered thru accessory cash but at this point; it's really not enough imho. Anyone else getting anything out of this mess from them? Cause im planning on asking 4 a lot more but not sure what yet. Thanks 4 listening 2 my ranting. Haha

I agree that they should make this a recall & compensate us going thru this issue - mine died on day 3 w 145 miles & it's 21 days in & im not 2 get it back til Thursday or Friday... But I must say; I would rather drive an old silverado than a new vette any day! My 60k truck plus the 5k in accessories/aftermarket goodies are just as special & important to me as I'm sure a new vette is to that person... My Trail Boss w 6.2 & all the goodies is my dream truck/vehicle. & even tho they are giving me a new engine in it; I agree I don't like that they are already wrenching on it b4 even making a payment. Pls don't think I'm being catty - I think we are all of the same mind on here about our rides. It just sucks for all of us dealing w this issue & i hope GM does take sum kind of better action 4 this 4 all affected

Hello carbon - MsKlaws here Thanks 4 the positive reply 2 my above question of if anyone is having issues w broken valve spring issue in 6.2 trucks. I'm going on day 21 of being without my new Trail Boss & my dealer called 2day w update of going 2 get it back this Thursday or Friday. While initially we did think the whole Corona deal would hold up parts; that didn't seem 2 b a major factor. It was a mess getting it 2 dealer, then them speaking w GM as 2 how 2 proceed, then ordering in new engine & components, then they needed 4 Bolts for fuel pump & they weren't ordered & that held it up anothr wkend & of course they want to drive it a few days 2 ensure all goes well. I can take credit for holding up a day as I have them putting on new BFG All Terrain T/A K02's as I always have those tires on my silverados. But by time I get it back, it will be over 3 wks & almost time for 1st payment. Again, I bleed bowtie & love me my silverados but I am real frustrated & I'm rational & understand there is a lot going on in the world now & this isn't the end of the world... But I think we all know how great that just got my new dream truck feeling like is & then this just kind of takes away from that experience. But I thank u 4 the positive vibes & can't wait 2 climb up in & hopefully have many, many problem free miles! Thanks again

Hello there. New to this site but life long chevy truck lover/owner So I just bought a 2020 silverado trail boss w 6.2 & had it 3 days & 145 mi & it shut off in traffic in town on me. Long story w issues getting it 2 dealer (thanks roadside assistance) but it was determined that it had the faulty valve springs & required an engine replacement. That was 18 days ago & it is still at the dealer being repaired. Told 2day that I will not get it back til next week. Again, I love my trucks & chevy but I am getting very frustrated. Is anyone else going thru this on here?
