If you have had a buyback done on your truck can you post your experience? 

 

Did you reach out to GM while your truck was in the shop or did they reach out to you?

 

Did you get all your money back?

 

How long did the process take?

 

Would you have rather done a lemon law lawyer?

 

 

Thinking i might have to/ want to go this route with my 2020 trailboss

Get a lawyer, been on this site more than almost anyone here and trust me when i say, anyone who got satisfaction with a buy back 9 times out of 10 only happened because a lawyer got involved and got

Yeah definitely Diff situations for sure. Mines not as obvious unfortunately. The first time it was which warranted the rebuild. So if it gets bad again then itll be obvious again and they can replace

I have a 2020 Sierra 1500 AT4 that I bought in March of this year. Had the front axle jingle since 460~ miles on the truck and it has been into service 4 times trying to fix the issue. Dealer service confirmed the issue can’t be fixed at this time and to call GM.

 

I filled a BBB Autoline case and called GM back in April to start this horrific process. July they offered to replace the truck but no dealer in my state had inventory or wanted to take part in the “buy back process”. I’m still trying to figure out a solution with GM... Total 7 months

Have you decided what to do yet? I’m in a similar situation. 2020 Sierra Denali, $65k+ a couple months ago, less than 1k miles, electrical problems and now engine is destroyed, needs to be replaced. A month in the shop. They are suggesting an extended warranty but that doesn’t seem like enough for the loss of value and reliability concerns. BBB hotline seems like a disaster. Not sure if working with GM directly smarter or just get a lemon law attorney and let them handle it.

1000% work with a lemon law over the dealer. Guaranteed you have a case. 

 

Ive reached the lemon law point myself now. Im in contact with one lemon law lawyer who has helped me through the process. Im ready to start the official process but he hasnt emailed me back in 2 days so im calling him monday or going with a different lawyer. 

 

But for something like your situation absolutely go with a lawyer. Be prepared that you are looking at a 6+ month process and hopefully you are in a free loaner from dealer currently. 

GM may offer you a buyback or trade allowance but itll never be as good as what a true lawyer gets you (which is free to you btw). Also FYI if a dealership offers you a buyback that is not the same as a manufacturer offering it. Its essentially a glorified trade allowance

Yeah that’s kind of how I’m feeling now. Brand new truck, electrical issues, needs a new engine, they can’t even say what’s wrong, been in the shop almost as many days as I’ve been able to drive it—seems fair to just start over with a new truck. Offering an extended warranty doesn’t seem like much at all.

The lawyers are good at knowing if you have a case or not. They give FREE legal advice in it too. Reach out to one and see. 

 

Cause i agree extended warranty isnt enough

What’s a lawyer going to cost? Right now people are getting good money for their used trucks. If you trade it in for something new what’s the cost difference VS time, vs agitation of the process.

Per federal/ state law lemon law lawyers are paid for by the manufacturer

I see. Is that only if you win the case???

I think either way as far as i can tell.... 

 

I see your point though about trade in values etc. 

 

But for me i bought a 55k new truck that should work flawlessly. It doesn't. They have to make it right. Plus im not going to put my problems onto someone else trading it in like that... 

 

Even if it takes 6 months... ill recoup all loan/ costs associated with the truck back to the first day i filed my original complaint. So no loss to me. 

 

Now the guys trucks who engines blown that sucks but even rental car costs will be covered by the lemon law assuming hes not in a dealer loaner

Take my advice. 

 

Anything GM is going to offer is in their benefit, not yours. Lemon law attorney is the way to go. Gm offered me no help on my 19 that was a turd. I wont go into the whole story but my truck fell under the lemon law warranty in My State. In less the 3 months I had my settlement. BBB is a waste. That route got me nothing. 

 

It blows my mind that people here defend that its normal for a 60k truck to have problem after problem with no help from GM. These trucks are true junk and gm should be ashamed they can sell something for 60k and just leave people with zero help.

      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.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
