Has anyone with a tahoe or suburban experience any issues with the vent controls or the temp controls only working half the time.  Got my suburban used (still factory warranty) at the start of Dec 2019.  Dealer has had it probably  6 times or more now and the total time they have had it would i be around  60 days or more and it’s still not fixed after all the visits.(i didn’t buy it from them but they are working on it under warranty for me.    They are a great local dealer and a good group of guys but from what i gather are at a loss for words and i was told the GM techs at corporate are as well.

 

issues:    Some days the vents are stuck on a position and won’t change and the temp may not work and blow only cold and some days we have had it blow freezing cold on driver and hot as hell in the rest do the car.  Some days the temp may work but the vents are stuck on the floor or defrost. It can last all day or sometimes possibly 10 minutes and then it’s like it switches over and works.   Its went the most 7 days without and issue but then it started back with the same problems.      

 

i’ve been on the phone with GM with questions about the warranty and so on but it’s proving nothing more  but to infuriate me each time with the Sr Manager that  has my case.  my question has been so if the original issue is never fixed and thus continues on till my warranty is up in 3000 miles what then.  his response was your warranty is up and i said but it’s never been correctly fixed.  he said they’d play it case by case.   i want to have them buy it back because now everyone we do get it back it’s just a waiting game on how long til it messes up.  i have a feeling it’s about to be lawyer time with the warranty act law.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
