You guys are getting the opposite treatment that I’ve been getting. I got customer service people that claim the dealership won’t answer the phone and tell me they have no idea when parts are coming and can’t tell me what parts have been ordered. Today is day 61 without the truck. The signed for my overnighted letter yesterday. They have told me that in no way is this truck going to be bought back. Because they don’t have the parts.  The funny thing is I’m on here and on the Facebook group and there are people on both places that got new windows and headliners installed within three weeks instead of two months- and it still hasn’t been fixed. I’ve put twice as many miles on their loaner than I have on my actual truck.  And I have t heard from GM about my lemon Law letter yet.

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 called Saturday Jan 25th to make the appt for Monday Jan 27th and then dropped it off Monday Jan 27th. They replaced the window the next day Tues Jan 28th. They said they had a window in stock and ready to go.

You'd think your dealer could call around and get the part(s) from another dealer that has them in stock.

I took mine in a couple of weeks ago for the sealant job. They claimed to have "detailed the headliner twice" but it was still stained. I took it back Saturday and they gave me a loaner so they could attempt to clean the headliner again, but I got a call Tuesday saying they had ordered me a new headliner but it was on a national backorder. I got called today by the dealer trying to schedule to have it put in. So I'm dropping it off Saturday and they're replacing the headliner. Apparently to replace it, it requires removal of the windshield.

I notice a few drops on the top of the rear seat when going through car washes.  I hasn't seemed to get down to the carpet though.  I attribute it to the high volume and pressure of the car wash and the air dry.  I will keep an eye on it when we get heavy rains this spring and summer.  So far it's been no big deal.

I’ll wait to hear from them. They have 13 more days. Then I’ll get my lawyer involved.

Anyone had their rear window caulked and truck returned to them on the same day?

When mine was caulked in December, dropped it off in the morning and picked it up after lunch.

I picked mine up twice and dropped it off same day they said it was fixed after the caulking but I dont think that’s what your asking.  It took the dealership two weeks to get the caulk and apply it the first time. The second time it took them only three days to get the caulk and caulk it.  As I’m typing right now I’m thinking they probably just used the leftovers from the first time.

Dropped my off this Monday and I'm suppose to be picking my truck up this afternoon(Friday). They had to replace the rear window which they called and told me they received Thursday afternoon. They're still waiting on the head liner though.

You have a leak in your expensive new truck that's not going to just get better.   I've taken all of my cars for years through car washes an rain and they never leaked.   It's your truck but man... i'd get that repaired before your warranty runs out for sure.

They are supposed to keep it 24 hours after caulking to allow it to dry \ set and THEN test again.   Did it seem to stop the leak?

Literally dropped it 30mins a go.  Still waiting for a call to get an official assessment.  Gave them the TSB I got from here.  So I’ll update when I find out.

You're right.  I'll probably have it checked out when I take it in for my first oil change.  It should not be leaking.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
