Rear window leak

I'm going in today to pick mine up after the sealant was applied to the spoiler \ light.  I had a stain in the headliner which I told them twice to make sure it's clean.. They know I have tons of pictures prior etc.  I'm not messing around with any BS on this.   I spent a ton of money on this truck, waited years to get one and I'm not settling with anything less than perfect.   I'll update later with what my results are.  They said they tested it in a car wash twice and the guy sat in the back to check for water and it seems fine.   This will be day 6 they had it.   *crossing my fingers* I'm taking is straight home and putting a hose on it for a while.

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.

They told me today that headliners are back ordered and they haven’t got any news when they will be available. I’m betting they suddenly find one for my truck after 10:00am tomorrow morning. Today is 58days without the truck the last thirty five days in a little Malibu. 

At 58 days, they should owe you a new truck!

If mine takes more than a couple of weeks to fix, I will live on social media telling people my experience.   I can't imagine it taking 58 days!  They can make a new freaking truck in a fraction of that time!  

Besides the window leak and the couple of recall items, I still love this truck!   Anytime you get a first generation ANYTHING you should expect some initial bugs.  I"m fine with that as long as they address the issues and take care of me in a timely fashion.  I'm not doing their bug \ beta testing for nothing!   1st year models should get a 5 year 50k warranty if you ask me.   hahaha

Lets say you were offered 6 yr/ 100k warranty but you had to wait on a fix for 60 days...would you do it?

I"m sure it's just a coincidence but I thought it was funny. After several calls to my dealership about my rear window replacement, and the service guy telling me he could not tell me when my window would arrive. I decided to call GMC last Friday and open up a case. I got a call from the lady that is handling my case yesterday and she explained to me she had not a chance to review my case and would call me back today. I got a call from the dealership today and guess what? My window has arrived and I have an appointment Monday. Interesting.

 

Just a follow up on this post. i just got a call from my case manager and she let me know that they had a window for me and the dealer should have it today. So there you go, I guess opening a case got the wheels turning. And now all of a sudden I have a new window to be installed.

GM has given me a 5yr 100,000 mile warranty after the first two weeks-which was the first time it was in the shop for the window leak.  They're making trucks everyday  with the parts we need and keep saying they are backordered.  There is no excuse for any delay for this long.  Its 59 days today.  It took an act of God to get the District Manager of Aftersales to call me and after telling me he would keep me informed hasn't called or emailed since and won't answer his phone or return calls. Executive Customer Service has been just as bad.

You are preaching to the choir so I get it. Service has been horrible. I just can't figure out if I want to take a warranty offer on a truck I will likely trade in 3-5 years, or if I should push for a new 2020 model and hope I don't lemon twice. But ShamrockShooters story keeps me from going for that option completely 

 

Other thing that keeps me a bit worried is I'm not certain I can find my fully loaded SLT around here - I had the tech package on the 2019 so it basically had the HD surround vision that an AT4 had minus the front view - do the 2020 SLT have the side mirror camera angles standard or in a package and I'm just missing it?

What good is a warranty when they can't provide the parts. I'm tired of driving a loaner Malibu.  I'm hoping as of now they go ahead and do this as painless and quick as possible. I'm not holding my breath on it though.  They claim it takes them 2 days to call the dealership(which the dealership denies hearing from them) and claiming to call me back.

I'd take the 6\100k and drive their loaner car.  I don't drive my truck on a daily basis so the impact is far less then the guys using them for work.   If I had a loaner truck with this, now your talking!   They aren't going to give everyone a 2020 option, I think that was pure luck, they aren't in the business to give away new trucks and take back old ones.

Smithy my states lemon Law says 20 days out of service. We’ll see what happens. The lemon Law notification is in their mail today. As of about 20 minutes ago they hadn’t signed for it yet.

Wow that's nice!   Wow I hope you get that deal.  Would they just give you another 2019 or make you pay the difference to a 2020?

 

This is what it states for AZ per the Attorney General site.. 

 

There is a limit on the number of times a consumer must allow the manufacturer to repair the car and the amount of time the car can be out of service. If during the covered period, the manufacturer fails to successfully repair the defect after four attempts, or the car is out of service by reason of repair for a cumulative total of 30 or more calendar days, the manufacturer must accept return of the car or replace the car with a new car.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
