Recently bought 2019 Chevy truck and we are loving it.....unfortunately we cant drive it because our temp tags have expired and the dealership is telling us we need to give them more money before they can give us our tags!!  Has anyone had this issue?  Six weeks after buying our new truck the dealership called telling us we owe them $1600 because they figured our paperwork wrong. I told them they made the mistake and we arent paying any more. After looking over our paperwork we discovered that we paid a different price on our paperwork than they had told us they were selling us the truck for, by like $3000 more!!! Now they want us to pay more after we apparently already paid $3000 more than we were quoted to begin with! I have called the sales manager to get to the bottom of this and spoke with him one time, he said he would find out what happened and call me back. This has been two weeks ago and cant get in touch with him or get a returned phone call. In the meantime, I have been to the tax office and they told me they have no record of the trucks paperwork being filed with them by the dealership and they cant help me. So we have a new truck that we cant drive and cant get any help from anyone. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else? Im at a loss as to what to do from here.

I'd give them the truck back, this has scam written all over it.... and would certainly keep this in mind when service is due/needed.

 

If they did mess up on the paperwork it's already signed and done... you should be able to do the math and see what is actually owed. If you signed off on what they're asking for they have legal recourse but if the math is in your favor tell them to pound sand and either give you the information for tags or take the truck back and head to one of the thousands of other dealers out there with plenty of inventory.

Yeah, contact corporate right away and don't give them another penny!  This is a dealer specific issue, and if the right person hears about it, it will get dealt with.

 

It's a GM/Chev issue. It may be worth while to discuss with a lawyer to be advised in the right direction as well.

actually go to the dealer and figure it out. Also start a case with GM. Call them direct. Their customer service is terrible but they still may be able to help.

My first call would be to the lender. Second to a lawyer.

Welcome to the site.

 

Tags/plates do not come from the dealership, they are generated with the state after the dealer registers it as sold with them, then the state sends them to dealership for you to pick up.

 

Basically your truck is in limbo as you have found out.

 

Do not even think it is legally binding at this point, so you could take it back, but I would check with the lending institution to see if they have any records either, because you should have had to make, or at least your first payment is coming due.

Dealership screw up. Contact a lawyer tell them what happened to find out your rights. If anything, it sounds like the plates may be there but they won’t release? They can’t do that. If they indeed did file the paperwork with the state, it’s not theirs anymore, it’s the lenders / yours.

We have already made our first payment with the lender. The revenue office said they have no record of the vehicle being registered by the dealer, therefore they can not help me. I spoke with a lawyer and she told me the contract was binding and the dealership should eat what the balance is because it was their mess up and they signed off on it. Unfortunately, my lawyer is not licensed in the state we purchased the vehicle from so she can not really get involved.

If you’ve been billed and paid it’s a done deal.

Usually it’s up to the buyer to register an out of state truck, no? How about insurance? I’d get the lender involved.

It is an option, but we financed TTL in with the truck.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
