Well my 2019 early build leaker was replaced with 2020 hopefully not leaker. No signs of an leaks on the window or headliner of the 2020 so fingers crossed. Very impressed with the 10 speed after th

No leaker here so can't do a 100% verification, but the problem seems to be with the spoiler design, regardless of weather the sealer leaks or not, and any cracks in the trim make it worse.

I'd be showing that to the service manager without a doubt.

Right now that is the least of my worries. I did ask if there was a transmission shift update for the 1-2 clunk on LIGHT acceleration I was feeling. Probably why it was test driven hard and put away wet.

Yeah they applied the sealant to the top of my rear window and everything is good so far. A repair like this should be warranted for as long as you own the vehicle or at least 3 yrs / 36000 miles from the date of repair. The dealership ended up scratching the Air Bag Trim piece on the passenger side which they said they will replace after pointing it out.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the hard acceleration. The threshold to be considered hard is very low. Maybe 50% throttle. It shows up constantly on my driving score. Hard breaking doesn’t come up as much.

So I have a new headliner on order. Do they need to remove front and rear window or just the front to replace the headliner? If they have to remove rear anyway I am going to make a strong push to replace it because of the cracked frame.

Since they pull down the rear of the headliner to remove the rear window, I assume they do not need to remove the rear window when replacing the entire headliner. Per users that

have had their headliner replaced, the front window does come out for the headliner replacement. My guess is that the only way you get GM to replace the window is if it leaks now.

So you might want to test that initial repair with lots of water.

They're only going to remove the windshield because the headliner is too big to come out without folding it. They won't be removing the rear glass unless they have to replace it.

Yes sir we fixed the leak.....20 seconds with a hose when I got home. I pulled the headliner back and you can clearly see where the frame is cracked and the water is just pouring in. If they have to take the rear window out couldnt the headliner fit through that without taking the front window out?

I also pissed that they used black sealant and got it all over the place instead of the clear that gm specified.

My patience is running very thin.7177a89c5d8a4e70b1c20ec03b58d0b3.jpgc3c933e896b9c3aa96255bcf8dda6752.jpg82a0a6b504adbc143b878d3a59114d52.jpg9f0c4475421b138fbcff47e5de7b7569.jpga26123d5da6ecc55826ecc102af4fd64.jpg

Jesus Christ man. They ****ed up. Take it back immediately. They used clear on mine. And it's a black truck. Call GM customer service. Do you have a case open already?

I've been checking mine every day since the repair. Bone dry. Now they just have to get rid of the mildew smell. Carpet is first on the list, but I won't stop there if the smell isn't gone. Anytime I go out to the truck and it's been closed up for more than a few minutes, the smell hits me like a ton of bricks.

Man would I be pissed. What a joke. They clearly take no pride in their work. Escalate until it’s right. Sad you have to go through this. I feel bad for you!

You would think after 8 days of sitting there someone would have sprayed it with a hose. To them it's just a 2 hr warranty repair. I already have a case number. I asked for the manager of the dealer to call me tomorrow, and I also want to meet with the district rep. For a truck I had for 1 day this is ridiculous. It has totally ruined the new car experience. They sold me a water damaged truck and I am not sure any thing will ever make it right.

 

This is stress I don't need in my life right now. Thanks for all the help folks. Without this forum I would be totally in the dark about this. My dealer said it was the spoiler that was leaking. Probably because they didn't want to say the window frame was cracked in half on both sides and we did a shitty job of of using the wrong sealant to not fix it 8 days ago.....

Stay strong and vigilant. They need to buy the truck back. Make you whole one way or another. Like I said, I will NOT settle for a smelly truck no matter what.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
