New Owner In MO

[yenningComity]

Thought I would sign up since I am a new owner and already have issues. Traded a 13 Miata in Wed. for a new 17 Colorado z71. Drove to 3.5 hours to get it, and didn't figure out that the radio reception is screwed up till I got it home since I was listening to XM on the way back.

 

Got it Wed. afternoon, but its been at my local dealer since yesterday morning. Told they are going to start pulling the interior tomorrow because they have determined that it is not the infotainment system being out of date. Wish I was more positive, but is what it is.

Welcome to the community!

 

Good luck on getting your new wheels sorted.

Got it back yesterday. Radio was fixed. Drove it this morning, radio was broken again so its back in the shop.

 

On the positive. Driving around a quad cab z71 silverado and am impressed. Did 57 miles today and averaged over 21mpg which I have yet to get near in my colorado. Think I am still under 19 in it after 360 miles.

Thanks guys, still no good news. Truck is still in the shop and has been all week. I wast old they had ordered an antenna base and it would be there tuesday. Tuesday I was told the antenna base would be coming from michigan and should only be a few days. Now I am told the part is on backorder with no eta.

Dealer received the antenna base yesterday. Installed it today. They test drove it, but it didn't fix anything. They called me to let me know they had pulled the lower dash and were ordering a new cable to replace the one that goes between the radio and the antenna base. I contacted GM Priority care to see what they can do, but at this point I will most likely be reaching out to a lemon law lawyer next week.

Well got the truck back thursday. It was an ordeal, took a second trip back to the dealer, then they managed to get the headliner dirty which I cleaned myself will not be going back.

 

The am/fm work.

XM cuts out for a couple minutes at a time still and does so randomly. Once/twice a day with maybe an 1-1.5 hours of driving. Sometimes it will have a second station trying to cut in. I have done 100 miles since thursday.

 

The truck vibrates when in drive, low, or reverse and at 600 rpms. You can feel it in the steering wheel, seat, and at times the side mirrors visible shake. Also can feel the idle wander a bit so going to take it back in.

 

Sorry to be a downer guys. I like the truck, at least in theory. Total miles 510.

Went to a different dealer today and can finally say I had a good dealership experience. There is no fix for the idle issue, but the service center did everything they could and in a timely fashion so no complaints there.

 

They documented the issue and there is a PIP out for it, but no fix.

Well, tired of dealing with gm and being told I will get called, but never get called. At this point aside from them saying they will call me each day and not I am told that GM is working on a fix for my issues and that I should wait. Seeing that it took a month to fix a radio without reception I am not holding my breath. Longer I keep the truck the more depreciation I take and also the likelihood of more issues coming up so I am out. I am gonna take the hit and go get a tacoma. Best of luck guys, but not going to buy another GM product.
