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.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
