Inch of rain so far today, and still raining hard. Happened to be driving by the dealer. Said no way they left it outside.....with a sign on the window that says "MUST STAY INSIDE"

I keep reminding myself to be grateful for two healthy children and a roof over my head.

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.

Wow. The level of incompetence never ceases to amaze me. You've got pictures, proof, that they've left it outside knowingly with a water leak. Your case just gets stronger.

 

Did I mention I test drove a 2500 Denali HD yesterday? They could turn me into a really happy customer if they wanted to.....

It looks like they applied three times more BLACK sealant to the rear window. Surprised to see it wasn't leaking inside. So it was likely left outside to see it leaked again?b199029aa5e9b9cffb1d5d04f9879767.jpgd65c50cb2174d0a39b574e0986cbf5c4.jpg4139959b1e4a962aa5fad9ad3469bcc6.jpgc972edb504fa7e97472053d130532c4f.jpg

I don't know how you are keeping your cool.  I would be close to getting physical with somebody at this point!

I don’t like seeing that pointed screwdriver tucked in the seat.  I definitely would have moved that.   I just cant believe they just don’t pull the window and change it out. I would be tempted to buy the window myself at this point.   You have been thru hell, and I don’t know if I could be as calm and objective as you are now.

Hope everything works out.

Here we go again. Smell still not gone. Urethane sealant was barely cleaned off the rear glass. Trim pieces sitting over the rubber seals instead of under. The rear seat rail cover is damaged slightly. And to top it off, they washed my truck, probably with dirty sponges, and put swirl marks all over the paint. Now they want to try another deodorizer treatment from a specialist. My case has been assigned to a senior advisor, but she has yet to call me. Was involved with the manager at the dealership this time. He was on the phone with the area GM rep. Oh, and dirty boot prints on my mat.1940fdd1a2ed367f8535bffe878d7c7d.jpgcd2e77bb8eb841da1a63a04a97b6893f.jpg8973c30626937b6e073820191badf8c5.jpg84c2c6a817e04af38a14a992573b1fd1.jpg69001031d84f41d3f6e45396cc155c62.jpgbf1855106757356eae4d9daa4430d142.jpg

White, check the trim really good and have them replace anything scratched. Did your carpet get replaced or did they just sanitize it? Seems it would be cheaper to replace the carpet then clean it again.

Should tell them to put a no wash note on your account. I have one at my dealership. Maybe GM will pay for a paint correction / ceramic coating install to correct that wash.

They replaced the rear carpet, shampooed the fronts, and did a deodorizer treatment. Didn't work at all. Smell just as bad as always. They're calling a specialist for another deodorizer treatment, as per GM, and will be fixing the swirls in the paint. Still waiting on my senior advisor call from GM.

Also know that the GM senior advisor doesn't really do much more than document your concerns, try to make you feel better, and tell you they are going to email the district rep on your behalf.

In my experience so far it would appear internally the district rep is the one that has the power to authorize something above the normal repair procedure at the dealership. I.e. replace carpets/seats/buy back/ extended warranty, etc.

I have been requesting for two weeks an in person meeting with the regional district rep but it's like trying to get in touch with a person that doesn't really exist.

I really don't know. I have to look closer at the paperwork. I wasn't sure if carpet/padding was all one piece or not.

When I soundproofed my 16 crew cab this is what it looks like. Assuming the 19 is not much different. The back wall of cab under window has electronics, carpet pad then another rubber type pad behind seats. The floor has carpet pad then carpet. If they replaced your rear floor carpet that means they also had to remove your front seats so check everything looks good there too.

When I had my rear carpet pulled up for soundproofing it appeared to continue on under the front seats.78337c662e487dfb0732bb168aa40e5d.jpg57468871b022d013fcb9ca4f34123665.jpg

So, my LTZ has been in for this fix for 10 days now.  I usually only keep my vehicles for a couple of years so no extended warranty.  The dealer has implied that no loaner vehicle is possible.  Are you guys getting loaners because you bought an extended warranty?  Or is it just a dealer policy thing....?

The dealer gave me a new 19 crew cab lt off the lot. No extended warranty purchased.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
