08 Sierra z71 All Terrain

[Rbessette08]

So I picked this truck up from the dealer Monday... Me and the wife drove it home roughly and hours ride, I noticed a clunk under the drivers floor as I pulled into my driveway... The following day I pulled it into the garage to see if I could see what it was.

What I was amazed to see was were all 6 cab mounts are suposed to have the 2 bushings washer and bolt that ties them all together were gone! So for the most part the dealer let me buy and take this truck with not much more than the weight of the cab holding it on the frame.! I called them today to express my concern and they couldnt tell me fast enough to bring it back so they could fix it... Now I havnt even gotten a inspection sticker yet and to be quite honest am not too sure what I should do here should I call a lawyer ? Or bring it to be inspected and have them fail it and not let me drive it out because legally they can't because it's a safety issue... Any insight would be great thanks

I want to clerify about the bushings the upper is there but not the lower and the washer and bolt that hold them together all 6 gone

My guess would be that the previous owner installed a body lift kit on the truck. Either the dealership removed it, or the previous owner did before they traded it in, and forgot to reinstall the lower bushings and bolts. Either way, I would just have them fix it, go over the truck well, and leave it at that.

Yea dropped it off yesterday they were saying something about possibly side steps that mounted by the cab mounts they were very apologetic and wanted to make it right so along with new mounts I'm getting some little things done but over all I'm happy as much as it probably should have been caught before it left the dealer is doing their best to make me happy with my purchase all in all still glad I bought it

I'm surprised they didn't send a flat bed to pick it up if it was that much of a safety concern. Either way, glad to hear you got it fixed.

Yea they offered to tow it but they said they couldnt bring me a loaner at the same time and with them being over an hour away I just drove so it wasn't for a lack of them offering.

I would also let GM know. They certainly don't want their dealers selling trucks in this condition. This should have been caught in a pre-inspection. It certainly can't be an Optimun used truck.

 

Plus at the very least I would go for as many free oil changes as they will give you.

What's the best way to contact GM about this? Anyone have a good person to email?
