I bought a z71 2014 fully loaded. Since then ( a month ago) my driver seat has been broken ( bottom part) and they can't fix it cause theirs no parts. My headlights fog up when it rains as if they were those cheap aftermarket ones. My alignment is off and they can't fix it cause theirs no specs for that. Three knobs in the center console don't light up ( the inner ring) as shown on every picture and other truck. I didn't get my floor mats for two weeks. And now the air conditioner is started to act up. It blows super fast when it's on low unless I hit the inner circulate button twice. GM, you guys gotta get this problems fixed or give me a new truck!

Hey there,

 

I saw your message and have replied back. Looking forward to your response.

 

Sincerely,

My injectors tick also. I think they do that on any direct injected engine.

Was just about to say this. You will hear the injectors ticking on all cars with direct injection. Some may be louder than others but they all tick...Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Yes, that is normal for DI. Sounds just like my wife's 4 banger '13 Nox with DI.

Yeah GDI motors can sound a bit unpleasant especially at idle or when cold.

I would not be worried about a first year truck. I bought a 04 Colorado with the inline 3.5l 5 cyl...put 180k miles on it...NO issues. I still have my 07 Sierra. Only has 65k on it, but I have beaten this truck to death. I had the lifter tick, but they were replaced and nothing wrong with anything else. You are going to have problems and bad trucks no matter how many years they run em. These trucks are basically built by computers and robots that do the calculations and such. Not much room for error, but again, things will sneak by. I am now thinking of a 14, but haven't test driven one or seen one in person up close. We will see, but I am def not afraid to purchase a new truck. Sucks parts and specs are yet to be available...I def call that a FAIL on GMs part, but they are new and there are deadlines to be met so of course they probably got the trucks out before the finished up other stuff. Good luck to those who have problems, but don't let this scare anyone else from buying a first production year vehicle. Shit happens...

So they could not duplicate the vibration problem ( obviously)! So they can't do anything about it. However, if you have three knobs in the center console that don't light up ( the two radio knobs & the A.C. Center knob) it's because your model doesn't include it. The headlights that fog up is normal and should go away soon, the light that shines above the headlights into the good is being reviewed by the engineers. The blower that didn't adjust properly is fixed.

Better question... is anyone having seat problems that do NOT have the lane departure option ?

      Turning radius

      "Increase"?   You want to "increase" your turning radius?     What is your truck?  What kind of cab and bed do you have currently?  Is it stock?  Modified?  Lifted?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By newdude · Posted

      OP's quote is parts and labor.  Not just parts.     The # you found isn't the right one.  But besides that, the right # is the same price within a couple bucks.  $5802.01.    Now, factor in labor and fluids.  Book time is 17.1 hours for a Colorado 8 speed.  At $200/hr for a dealer average rate, its $3420 just in labor.  We are already at $9222.  Fluid and other necessary items, there's your $400-500 more.      Also.  Your "discounted" transmission.  Which is 99% likely quoted off of GM Parts Direct as that's the MSRP I found on their site.    You failed to note the $597 in shipping charges.  So we are right back almost to MSRP.  $5794.  Oh.  AND, you better have the $4000 for the core charge which you'd have to pay and get refunded, AND you gotta pay to SHIP THE CORE BACK.    So now you'd have paid MORE to buy that one online yourself, even after you get your core refunded.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.
