I bought a new  LTZ, with the 20” aluminum wheels. 3 of the 4 are damaged, and was documented by the dealer when I bought the truck. The dealer sent the pics into GM and they denied the warranty claim, basically saying it isn’t their problem. The dealer is now reaching out to their local GM rep. A $65k truck bought new you expect to be flawless. Has anyone dealt with GM denying a claim? Any luck escalating beyond GM customer assistance?

I wouldnt have left with the truck. Would have asked for a loaner or a different truck. If 3 wheels are messed up then I can imagine what you can't see thats messed up.

Curb rash or what is the issue?  Pics would help.   If it was curbed by someone during a test drive, i can understand why GM would deny a warranty claim.  No different, in that scenario, than backing into a pole and asking gm to cover the bumper under warranty.

Probably would've told them to swap them from another truck before it left the lot. If they didn't make a claim on arrival, it would've been their loss. Now that you left with it, Hopefully they stick to their verbal contract if you didn't get something documented. Otherwise...

Pictures?

Sorry for the delay in replying. Here are the pics, you can see it’s not curbed.

Definitely not curb rash. Looks precise, like a tire machine. Which would have been done at the factory.

Do they have an automated car wash? A lot of those will leave that mark when rolling through their tracks.

It's a tire machine mark. Been there. Local independent tire store did it to rims when mounting new tires. I called the tire machine manufacturer and was told an improperly adjusted machine or poorly trained operator.

They do, never thought of that.

The claim through GM has been denied a second time. States it’s not a manufacturer defect. The dealer is supposed to reach out to their local rep, to get approval.

That's damaged? I was expecting nicks, chips or something else not caused by a something rubber brushing up against it. I wouldn't even think twice about that as I will get a ton more wear and tear just using it as a truck. Sounds like you needed to spend a little more as 65k wasn't enough to guarantee a "damaged" free wheel. Might want to see if they will give you a new truck or lemon law it, that might solve it?

Not sure if your being sarcastic or not when you buy something new, you expect it to be free of any damage. If I scratch it that’s fine, but it shouldn’t come that way.

      The rotor couldn't be turned so I replaced it. Installed new pads on both sides and called it a day.   Peace

      I've tried everything and still have the rattle.  My next thing to eliminate is the seatbelt connection on the real pillar.  The cover seems loose and could be the source.  I found one of my grandsons video games in the back seat rest compartment   and had a glimmer of joy, but that wasn't it.  I'll keep trying.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
