This is all great but I happen to have one with a problem. GMC said that there was no fix for mine. The dealer said that they had a brand new one on the lot with the same problem. You may be correct that I have to take it in the shorts and trade it for a Ford. I have been a GMC guy forever, but it may be the end of an era.

Shoot man no problem just gather up all your sale paperwork and get them to refund purchase price minus some allowance for mileage. If you paid cash you will be sitting on a pile and can go buy something else that suits you better. Life is to short to split hairs let them allow a bit for mileage/usage and move on. It only money.......

My 16 Malibu had that lane keep assist, only thing I was happy about was that I could disable it. All this tech seems to make the driver feel enabled. Oh hey my car can watch the road for me, I can write this text!

I was hoping that they would just disconnect the faulty feature. When they were selling these features they did not tell me that it has electric steering with no power steering pump. If it didn't unexpectantly yank my truck into oncoming traffic I could live with it. I love these answers that if it doesn't throw a code GMC ignores the problem as "works as designed" even though the dealership service manager said it was dangerous and I needed to trade it in.

Depending upon whether your willing to go extra bucks or keep what you have & drive with the system off......see if you can get the dealer into a win-win.

 

My .02 for what it's worth. Forget about an even swap likely he won't do it because GM doesn't want to get stuck with a buyback with a lemon label......much worse with a black mark against their remarkable, magical driver assistance package....their pioneer entry toward driver-less vehicles. Try approaching as a repeat customer accommodation rather than a buyback asking for every possible discount including all owner loyalty, rebates and his holdback cash for the month against an equivalent '17 without the driver assistance crap (lower level blind spot and x-traffic alert only are OK because they don't actively screw with the steering or braking). The net cost considering the additional worth of the year newer model against a future trade and the lower MSRP minus the driver assistance package might bring it to much less than the $6000 to make it affordable or at least something you feel you can live with.

 

Dealer might be more receptive to a better deal because he gets GM credits against future stock with extra sales and an ultra-low mileage one for the used car lot for those who can't afford cash or credit for new.

I did that with a great dealership and GMC would not help them ($1,000). If GMC had traded it in it would not have been a designated as a lemon. We have a good Lemon Law. GMC also refuses to provide any service records on the vehicle before I bought it.. They did verbally acknowledge that it had the problem worked on before I bought it.Thanks everyone for your input.

After scanning back through thread I am wondering. Is this a new truck with only 3000 miles on it or is this a used vehicle that you have bought? If used, could it be a wrecked or flood damaged vehicle? Sometimes vehicles are just junk no matter if new or used, just wondering what the background was. ScrapCarHauler.jpg

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.
