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.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By anthony2558 · Posted

      Would this be normal or a worn CV Shaft? 51K miles 3.5" lift? Boots are intact and no visible leaks showing. Attached is a the video I took. Thanks     https://youtu.be/ZnW7PPRmjJY?feature=shared

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85
