35 days and counting for me.  Truck still sitting on the lot with no part available (direct from GM to me).  I would encourage everyone who has their truck sitting at a dealership waiting on a part start tweeting and leaving FB messages for GM.  If you tweet use the hastag #gmbrakes and lets see if we can get this thing moving.  We have $50 to $70K plus trucks sitting at dealerships while we drive trucks levels below what we paid for.  Now that GM is about to strike they should have a few parts laying around they don't need!  Getting frustrated after 30+ days without my truck.

 

Remember tween @GM  @mtbarra @chevytrucks and throw in some news agencies so they can see this issue goes beyond the 2018s.  Also use the hashtag #gmbrakes

 

Everyone needs to tweet or use Facebook and as Joe said always tag GM, Chevy, Chevy Trucks, Mary Barra all news networks NHTSA which did the recall for the 14-18 models. This brake thing is a serious issue that GM wants to ignore.

You've documented on a public forum that your truck has brake issues and continue to drive it hoping maybe it won't happen again.   If it were my truck it would be at the dealer to be fixed

Has the dealership offered to make a payment for you.  If not they should.  It doesn’t come out of the dealerships pocket, they just have to request it from GM. 

It took my dealership 16 days to offer me a truck. I was put in an Encore going from a Silverado Crew RST with 273 miles. They have offer me nothing.

Well than you should ask for a payment to be made.  The service Dept/manager  can arrange that.

I can’t get them to call me back. I last spoke to GM last Friday and they were supposed to call me back on Monday the 16th. Still waiting. Purchasing dealership is out of State about 189 miles away they don’t care.

Are you going for a buy back?   If so the dealer will not talk to you anymore.  It’s out of there hands and is handled by legal.

Nope never asked for a buy back. Asked for a substitution of collateral which is simply trading out vehicles for one that is safe. When you get all these warnings at 273 miles you’re up the creek plus engine and various other lights.

They text about once a week now. The latest text said it’s going to be greater than 8 weeks before they can get parts. It’s already been 4 weeks without my vehicle.

I immediately thought of this post when I saw the GM worker strike & Canadian layoffs a few days ago. Even without the strike people are having to wait a month or more, I can't imagine how long the wait will be now.

Text them back and "ask" them if they will make a payment on the truck.

why just one payment?  they should keep paying while they have your truck...

I agree just don’t know how long it’s going to be in the shop, 28 days and counting and I purchased 29 days ago.

I would call the Attorney General in the State you live in. They can revoke dealership license etc. talking about getting their attention if you have a strong AG.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      $4.00 a gallon here now.   Diesel nearly $5.00 again.

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.

      SPECULATION on the wars effect raised prices. AI is maximizing the profit. Refining is vertically integrated.

      It's the Middle East conflict that raised prices, not AI. But nice distraction.
