now check engine lights on

[aircrewmen]

well now my check engine light is on as well as my bed liner looking like shit. driving home from the gym and i noticed my truck was shaking when at a stop, and then it rattled pretty bad and the check engine light came on. driving the other two blocks to my house i noticed it isn't going into v4 mode now also. 2200 miles on it at the moment so i know it's under warrenty but this is a brand new truck i don't want to even have to have people patching shit up on it at this point. man i'm ****ing pissed

Sorry to hear of your troubles. One thing to know is that when these trucks have an engine light on, the AFM gets disabled. I found that out in my '07 Silverado had engine issues.

Could you do us a favor and keep us posted with that the diagnosis is when you have that checked out? Thanks!

[aircrewmen]

will do, just left the dealer with my brand new acadia

[aircrewmen]

turns out it was a bad ignition coil, was told i'd be able to pick it up tomorrow. besides the hassle of it happening in the first place and getting stuck with an acadia they seem to have handled it pretty well. i'll update if the problems still there

aircrewmen,

 

I am sorry to learn that you were experiencing an issue with your vehicle and had to visit your preferred dealership. I see that your vehicle should be out of the service department. Are you satisfied with the repair?

Yeah they took care if it. Something that's been eating at me is my truck had 600 miles on it when I bought it, I shouldn't have excepted it. I had already payed the transfer fee to get it and kinda downplayed it at the time to myself because I wanted the truck. I'm assuming one of the sales people were driving it back and forth to work or something untill they sold it. Is there anyway to search and see if someone bought it and had to return t because there finances fell through or something.

[aircrewmen]

The whole point of paying the price we do for a new truck is peace of mind knowin u were the only one to drive it and took care of it. For all I know some **** was neutral bombing it

[aircrewmen]

Anyway of finding out if it was a returned truck? Yeah I'm pretty pissed now that I think about it

[jdelrizzle]

If it had been registered/titled before, then returned, it would have been sold as a used vehicle, right?

[jdelrizzle]

See like this one, only 4 miles but for some reason it's considered a used vehicle, maybe it was registered and returned the very next day.

[aircrewmen]

I'm going to look into it but honestly at this point there's probably not much that's going to come from it considering I've had it for 2 months.

In most states, if a title application/registration was applied for, then the vehicle in question becomes a used one and should not be sold as new.

 

The issue though, is that there is many reasons why a vehicle with high mileage can still be sold as "new" when it has yet to be registered the first time. Some of these reasons can include people who buy vehicle and literally drive off and turn around for whatever reason and do not want it. This can be mechanical issues or just petty preference issues with the new buyer and the vehicle goes back into the lot and advertised as new.

 

Also many times, local dealers are provided or themselves provide and had returned, vehicles lent for special promotion events like sporting events (golf tournaments are a big one) and driven for the duration of the event and then returned. These are suppose to be advertised as "demos" but many times that gets lost to the end buyer who still thinks they are getting "new" but not a true new.

Yes, it's the law.

That happened to me when I bought a Sea-Doo a few years ago. When I caught them in the act the dealership bent over backwards to take care of it. I got a bunch of free stuff and a brand new boat so I was happy in the end. However it taught me to check EVERYTHING when buying a new vehicle.
