About a couple of weeks after I bought my truck, GM called to see how I like it. He asked about the fit and finish, squeaks and rattles among other things. I got kind of testy and told him he had to be kidding. The truck is only a couple weeks old. I told him to call back in 6 months or a year and I'll give you real world data. Has anybody been contacted like this and do they ever call back at a later date?

I was thinking the same thing :lol:

 

They probably won't call back though,Like Ryan said,Its an "initial quality survey",I've gotten a couple of them myself with some of the trucks I've bought.

HA,HA funny

 

I wasn't joking. I don't have any patience for inconsiderate people. I've bolted tires back up to cars and handed customers their keys and politely asked them to bring their vehicles to someone else for "getting testy".

 

I'm now curious if this story would be different had you respectfully asked for a call back or another survey after a period of 6 months. If they had something set up I bet he would've added you to the list (if said "list" exists).

After having a customer haggle with me in that "are you kidding tone" over a used tire price today, I put the tire back on the rack and said I would rather not do buisness with him, have a nice day.

I wasn't rude. I merely kept asking for him to call back in a couple of months. He was a contract telemarketer. Never mind for me asking my question. Mods if you want to delete this thread go ahead.

:rolleyes: i've been there before!

 

One of my most memorable events was the old guy that was having issues with his front brakes. I popped the front tires off and checked everything out, then started to take his rear tires off to check the rear brakes. He ran out into the shop cussing up a storm and told me dont touch the rear. I tried to calm him down and told him that we need to make sure that the rear brakes are working properly otherwise they could be part of the issue... but he didn't want to hear it and kept rambling. I bolted them tires up and sent him on his way.

 

I just don't get it...... people gotta chill out a bit

I got my new truck on May 10, 2010. The salesman I dealt with has called a couple of times every month to make sure everything is good with the truck and to make sure I didn't need any service or other type of work done on it. He also sold me my previous truck (98 GMC Sierra Ext Cab) and sold my dad 3 trucks (97 Sierra, 05 Sierra Z71, and 07 Yukon) and he has called a couple of times every month for the 1st couple of years to check on the trucks. He also sends a "birthday card" to us on the truck's "birthday" (day we bought the truck), and he includes a gift certificate for a free oil change or equivalent amount off of non-warranty service. In my mind, this salesman goes far beyond what other sales people do...since 2001, I have bought an 01 Honda Accord and an 05 Tahoe for my wife, and I have yet to receive as much as a phone call from the sales person who sold me those two vehicles.

Thats awesome! I am still friends with the guy who sold me my 2000. He no longer is a salesman (was doing it for a job while in college).

If he really was just a contract telemarketer then I'm guessing that the company is only paid for the initial quality survey and not additional call backs to find out the long term quality, that would probably another phone call.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
