Spoke to my adviser on friday, he looked again, no, they did not replace my dash trim and the part did arrive. Dropping it off again for my torque converter so they can replace both.

Finally replaced, but new one warps slightly too.

 

Did the same procedure, took it out, heat gun heated it up and force it down slightly, reinstalled.

 

looks like you might have to do it yourself is a better solution, new part might still be f%^&ed up

Still waiting for my appointment. I will let them work on it as there is also a hump on my dash in front of the passengers seat. Everyone who has rode in my truck has pointed it out so at least I know it is not just me....

I have seen my warp disappear while I am driving and the sun warms up the panel. My guess is it will be completely gone once the temperatures rise here for Spring and Summer.

 

Some type of thin black strip that sticks up slightly above the padded section would look factory and hide any warping from view.

Noticed this piece warping on my 2014 Sierra a few months back, 11.5k miles on the truck. Took it to the dealer yesterday and they are ordering an extension part #23340014. Time will tell if it is a fix or the same all thing with the new piece.

2018 GMC Sierra Denali.  It had less than 100 miles on it when I noticed it.  The dealer kept my truck for two weeks.  They replaced the small trim piece 4 times.  They also replaced the whole soft dash.  They had to pull the center console, drop the steering column and a whole lot more.  I now have pry bar marks all over my brand new truck and it looks worse than when I brought it in for repair (See Photos below).  I am seriously pissed about this.  How can GM allow something like this on a $64,000 vehicle?  Really...C'mon Man!!!:fume:

What is up with the build quality of the automotive market in general? Everyone remembers the Ram Trucks from back in the day.. Not sure if they still go through this but the last one i had loved to rattle in every corner. I went through two dashboards on an crew cab XLT F150. The Tundra i traded in for my current vehicle was starting to show signs of waving/warping. I was hoping GM didn't have a repeat of the previous generation. After i had the dash replaced on the F150, the rattles and squeaks starting coming out...

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
