I got my 2019 HC in October of 2018 and my rear window started leaking last Friday (8/7/2020). I called the dealer as soon as I saw the water and I told them I had 36,8xx miles. I dropped it off Monday (8/10/2020) with 36,9xx miles and the dealer said that warranty will not cover the cost since I'm over my 36,000 mile bumper to bumper coverage. A service bulletin came out in February 2019 but since mine never leaked I didn't want them touching it. Am I wrong for saying that warranty should cover it since it is a known problem?

 

Update: I called and the seal was cracked and the rear window is separating. They are replacing the rear window and seals.

If it is a known defect, tsb or recall I would think it should be covered regardless of the warranty, but not 100% sure.

I think these guys use every excuse in the book to not do stuff for free. My bet is you’re on the hook for the bill. Keep us posted.

This will be the exact reason why I will have to end up dumping my truck or replacing the rear with a solid glass window at 3yr/36k miles.

They have already made three attempts to resolve this issue on mine in less than 9 mos.

GM has no plan to fix this defect properly and has not given any confidence to their customers nor provided transparency on their efforts.

New trucks are coming off the assembly line with this same part today and GM knows it has a problem.

The dealership has a body shop doing the repair and they are waiting on the new window. The dealership said gm has a new part number window that just came out. The window should be in and installed today and I will pick  it up Monday afternoon. Here is a picture of the truck. They didn't take the rear window spoiler off. The dealership also said they were going to ask GM to cover it under warranty. I have already called GM customer service and I have a case number for this.

I got my truck back today and it costed me $384 after I talked to customer care and the dealer. The dealer said they came to agreement with GM that I had to pay 40% of the total bill.  I didn't see the actual total to calculate the 40% so who knows. Here is the new window part number that they waited on. The window was built 7/29/20. The dealer said this was a new part number but I don't know. Maybe sooner one on here can tell me.

Sorry to tell you this, but that window is the exact same one they installed in mine in February as you can see our pictures match. Yeah, it was a "new part" over six months ago when it replaced the E2. However, my E4 leaked just over a week ago, there are others on this forum with leaking E4s, and you can see the updates I've posted in the main thread on this recently. You should check that they added the sealant on top of your new window as my dealer said that is now the current process even for replaced windows.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
