I just bought a new 2020 Tahoe with 4 miles on it. When I signed up on Chevrolets website for the owners center it showed the warranties were already minus 7 months. I called GM and they said the warranty starts the day the vehicle arrives at the dealership. Has anyone else heard of this?

The warranty starts when the vehicle gets put in service. They could have put it service to use as a demo but never did. The warranty does not start when it hits the lot. The dealer gets money from GM when they put them in service for use as demo vehicles.

No, warranty starts at the day and mileage on day of delivery at the dealer for a new vehicle.

WTF? Every chevy I have owned (including my current 2018 I got in june 2019) have had the warranty start on the day of purchase. Are you in another country?

I'm guessing GM paid the dealer to put it in their courtesy vehicle program and they never did. The date on the door sticker is 11/2019 and the warranty started ticking 11/19/2019. I just bought it 2 days ago with 4 miles on the odometer and no where on the paperwork does it say demo or courtesy vehicle. Just new vehicle

So you are in the US? I just checked my GM app - 36044 miles (it had 44 miles on it), and 3 years from purchase date...

It begins when it was first delivered/put into use. Make sure you keep your paperwork from when you purchased your vehicle. Mine had 5500 miles on it, but was a manager demo - it was never marked "in service" and my paperwork doesn't reflect that it was in use. Miles at delivery had 5500. The apps all say my warranty expires in July, even though I bought it in October and at 36000. The paperwork shows otherwise.

 

From the 2020 Warranty and Owner Assistance guide: "Warranty Period The warranty period for all coverages begins on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put in use and ends at the expiration of the coverage period."

I'd wait a couple days and then re-check it.  The dealer might have to still post all the paperwork in accounting before it updates.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
