Sounds like you need to enact the lemon law

 

But what you get with a 50K or 20K vehicle purchase is a warranty. Nothing is perfect

Lots of people with continued problems on here.

 

Has the dealer or GM gave anyone anything to make up for all the repeated trips to the dealer.

I'm sure you could negotiate a few hundred extra bucks off the price of a new one, I doubt you'd want it though If you've had problems with your '14. I doubt they are going to give you anything else though.

I still can't believe folks are paying 50k for a half ton truck. You can buy a nicely equipped dmax 2500 for less than that.

Sticker vs actual price paid is one thing

I paid $47k for my High Country, a Duramax with Nav, Sunroof, etc like my HC would have been $54k after all rebates and dealer incentives and it would have been a 2014 GMT-900 at that. I paid $50k for my Duramax and it is nowhere near as well equipped as my HC.

The OP's words: "I paid 50,000 dollars for my freaking truck..." Maybe I misunderstood...? It's none of my business what anyone buys or how much they spend, but it's hard for me to understand. I realize guys spend tons on trucks/cars, and that's fine, but it's not for me. It's fair to say that I put a lower priority/value on that sort of thing.

That's cool, vehicles are sort of my addiction. I have no problem dropping a decent chunk of change on a vehicle if I like it. When you do, you expect it to be right though, so I feel the OPs frustration.

Just about anything "big ticket" that people but you expect it to be right. That does not always happen unfortunately. As stated above that's why new items like these have a warranty.

This thread went to junk... Anyone want to actually answer the OP's question?

 

My thoughts... they aren't going to compensate you for anything. All car's and trucks have issues... this 2014 isn't any worse than other first year vehicles....regardless of what you read here. Remember.. the sample of folks on this forum represents about a small fraction of 2014 GM truck owners. And also remember.. when people come to forums.. it generally to complain.

 

that being said... I no problems with little recalls, or small warranty issues that may pop up. But I do have an issue with being inconvenienced. I would be perfectly fine if the dealer would drop off a loner truck at my house and take mine to do repairs. The whole inconvenience of driving to the dealer, etc, etc... it is what bothers me the most.

Yes i understand. It sucks because I work nights and lose sleep when I have to continue to drive back to the dealer.

 

The reason I was asking is this was the 3rd time at the dealer for the seats. The truck is fixed now per the service manager and Im supposed to pick it up tomorrow. He said he cant give me a different truck but he can do other things to make up for this. I said like give me an extended warranty and he said yes that we could talk about it Monday when I pick up the truck.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
