Don’t the trail bosses have different cv axles?

That would make sense then why they aren’t having this problem. Maybe Chevy should give all us non trailboss owners free trailboss lift upgrade [emoji12]

So I got a call today from Gm. They received my letter notifying them they have 20 days to make a repair. When talking to the agent I explained to them that dealership refused to make repair as per gm. In the letter I provided the repair order # and bulletin stating this. The agent insisted I bring in the truck anyway today and that the dealership must notify them of the refusal. Funny thing is I already gave them the refusal which is in the repair order. The agent didnt want to hear it and went on to say once they receive the refusal from the dealership they will send me a delayed repair notice. Dealership called them in front of me today and left a message. Looks like I’ll be going through the bbb once this next attempt is refused, again.

I have been speaking with a Sr Adviser at  GM/Chevy for a few weeks now. We submitted my request for buyback last week and I will hear their initial response tomorrow. Tomorrow will also be 4 straight weeks that the dealership has had my truck. Was also informed last week that there is a "ding" on my quarter panel now. The adviser said that if my request gets denied the first time we can re-submit a request any time something new happens. So if it declined, I plan on re-submitted with the new info of my truck being damaged in their possession.

They are stalling because they have no revised parts to fix them yet. They are doing the same thing with me. They must have a ton of BBB cases pending. They offered me an extended warranty that I refused.

 I hope they are still working on a fix

Mine is a lease so offering an extended warrant won't mean anything.

Just got off the phone with gm. They said there is no fix so nothing is wrong and they will not repurchase. I said there is something wrong, that’s why there’s a bulletin on it. They said it doesn’t make a difference. They said they’ll fix it when they have one. I said doesn’t that contradict the statement you just made on how there’s nothing wrong? She said it’s not a safety issue. To which I replied it’s a non conformity and impairs the value of the truck. She kept talking over me and said contact the bbb if you want. Wowwww what a rude individual she was.

when did you first file your buyback claim?

Honestly I think we will eventually have to sue them. My neighbor is a Lawyer that works for car Dealers of all things and he said the Krohn and Moss Law firm is the one to go with. He called them a well oiled lemon law machine.

I had the same issues with my 2016 with the chevy shake problem.  70mph the truck would shake like crazy. the center console would shake enough to spill a coffee everywhere. My truck was at the dealer multiple times for a few weeks at a clip.  Tons of people had this problem and even the 19 LDs still did it. GM told me that since it is not a safety concern that lemon law/ buyback does not apply.  I talked to a few close friends who work at dealers and they said the same thing. Is it worth it to spend $$$$ on a lawyer? Mine was a lease so I just gave it back at the end and said good riddance.

The manufacturer is required to pay for the attorney fees. A good attorney will review your case and only take it if they think they have a good chance at winning so they get paid. Those of you that have this issue have a great case. Ask for the engineering data that proves that this 10 lb of axle bouncing about an inch will not destroy the bearing and or diff housing. It was not designed to do this.

Until it becomes a safety concern I don't think it will be as easy as you think.

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
