So I guess the question is this is a common complaint? I mean I dont mind doing custom jobs but this would be a big one (and way to expensive lol) to do for one person :)

Pretty common...most people have no way to fix it.

 

I even started a thread in the 2019 area to see if it's plaguing the T1XX...Jury is still out on them...

I replied to that initial thread as it states the 2014's were originally 100% closed but people were still complaining...

I have read that too but GM changed it due to dust accumulation in the cabin. I'd rather clean my cab than deal with the smell. After a few "behind a bus" rides in your new test bed will better show the issue we now have. GM says it closes 90% but there is no comparison between my 2008 Avalanche or either of my Honda cars. I'm just asking because it's pretty bad with the programming they changed it to.

I get that (and agree) the issue I see is even the early posters were complaining which means theirs were 100% already and it still was bad LOL

Then maybe a bad door design, even with it 100% closed you're going to get some smells but not like an open window parked behind a school bus :sigh: I understand if it's too much to play with but I had to ask.

Not too much to play with at all :) Again the concern is if I'm able to help hence the 100% door statement hopefully an early 2014 owner will chime in because from what I can see that bulletin would make things WORSE LOL :)

My suspicion is GM covered their backside by saying they changed it to 90% closed to stop the bleeding and have an excuse why their system is sub-par to everyone else's. I would be willing to bet that the 14 probably was set to 90% too since they were having issues back then as well. Only way to really tell is to see the door in action I guess. Like I said, no matter if the door actually closed 100% or not some smells will get in but never have I had a vehicle this bad. Thanks for considering it Chris.

Yes we sell the programming. You'd want to contact us from our website for more details :) 

can you program my fob to roll the windows up, similar to how they roll down at the same time.

I’ve read that if you have the setting on dashboard  outlets only it is better, anything else like a dash/feet setting or feet only it stinks. Of course defrost or defrost/feet uses outside air so they have to let some in. I almost always have either defrost or the face/feet selected. I will try dashboard vents only and see if it’s better.

How about auto fold the mirrors on exit door lock ?  Would be nice to auto unfold on start, but some may not want this as there may be a condition where you need to have the mirrors stay folded.

You probably already know this but hey, I learn something new daily. If you hold the lock button down (for about 3 seconds) on your key fob they will fold in but you have to manually push the button on the door to fold out after getting in. I would not want an auto extend on mine because I would surely forget I had it set to do that. When I am in a parking garage (and get lucky) I park next to a wall and get as close as I can with the mirrors folded in...you can guess my dilemma when I came back, get in and started it....DOH...Bart go to your room! Trust me I would forget and wipe out my mirror.

Yeah. Knew about the key fob trick, but it would be nice to have it do it automatically. And I agree with the auto unfold - that is exactly the circumstance I was referring to. Would suck to see your mirrors power out into a wall!

Never going to get enough early 14 owners to reply. It’s enough to make me consider selling it. I rode in a frickin Ford today and we were on the Eglin AFB range BEHIND another Ford that is a huge diesel truck, never smelled a thing. Pisses me off I didn’t know about this before I bought it.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
