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...

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.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
