GM Buy Back

[DBaker]

Hey All, bought a GMC 2500 SLT back in November. Have had one problem after another with it. Has been in shop 2/3 of the time since January as it would keep going into limp mode when i used the exhaust brake. Finally they put a torque converter in it a few weeks ago and now its leaking transmission fluid from what i would say appears to be the front seal. I'm done with it. Truck has 5700 miles on it, half of them dealership put on, and is just unreliable. Maybe a Friday build or something, idk. I have started the buyback process now as i am hoping i can find a twin to this truck and hopefully just have much better luck. Has anybody dealt with this before and would you have any advice if you have? Thanks

That sucks, hope the next one gives you some better luck.  Nothing more frustrating than have a new truck repeatedly fail.

That's like getting burned and sticking your hand right back in the same fire. Get your money and run and don't look back.

I had one buy back. Or actually I got my money back if I traded in for another one. A 1994 Ram 4x4 diesel. It had a multitude of problems. I got a 95 V-10. They added extended warranty to it. At 40K miles it blew up. Just before my father bought a 96 V-10. And my brother bought a diesel. The engine on the 94 was replaced under warranty. The two bought after were flawless as was the replacement engine. The only thing I would recommend is an extended warranty. They should add that for free.

You may also want to find a new dealer if you end up in another one.

RAM 2500 an option? Great deals on them now.
