![]() They didn't do a damn thing. Everything is just fine, my **** driving truck has no problems. They won't even acknowledge any problem I've documented. Can't reopen the BBB claim fast enough. |

![]() Sadly all too common. In my experience, dealership service centers only look at the computer when analyzing problems. They don't test drive the vehicle, or if they do, it's only for a few minutes. Who cares if the tranny is about to fall out? If there are no errors on the OBD2, the problem doesn't exist. ![]() Ditto. |

![]() I'm still loving my '07H2 Silverado 1500 Z71. Aside from the airbag light being on, which I need to get fixed at some point, it's been a great truck. |

![]() I'm not lawyered up yet. I'm doing this through the BBB. If it doesn't work out as expected I will get a lawyer involved. |

![]() Take out a full page add in the local paper, detailing your problems and pointing out how the dealer won't help. Give the dealer enough bad press and I guarantee you'll have a new truck sitting in your driveway shortly. Or, at worst, a full refund. Do you have the equivalent of "7 on your side" (local ABC news station in San Francisco that investigated complaints like this and usually got great results for people)? Might be worth a try if anything like that exists locally. |

![]() I'm working through the lemon law process, BBB thinks I have a case for a full buyback, so I'll wait it out. My BBB rep told me he'll have an offer with me in 14 days or less from yesterday. |

![]() GM called me while I was out of town about what was going on. Was a short call, I'm on my 3rd GM rep now, seems I get a new one for each phase of this thing. |

![]() Started working on the replacement vehicle this morning. Financing secured, we'll see what I come up with. This process should come to a close hopefully by this Monday, but potentially another 2 weeks past that. |

![]() Put a deposit on this today. ![]() More pics here: https://imgur.com/a/dVKEq6b It's a 2018, has 29k miles on it, CPO for 5 years after original delivery date, unlimited mileage. Price was really good, and they gave me a bit of a military discount, car is near mint. Found it in Georgia, having it shipped here. |

![]() I believe if the first offer isn't good it goes to arbitration, which is binding. |

![]() I love the color as well. My only criteria on color was not black, this is actually perfect for me. I park outside of a stone mill every day, so a black or white car shows the stone dust a lot. A grey color won't show it quite as much. I'm going to wash it a lot I think. I didn't really feel the need with any of my cars since my 2001 3 series, but this one is special. Dealer overnighted the paperwork yesterday, can't wait for it to get here. Last edited by Elysian : Jan 23, 2020 at 09:04 AM. |

![]() Just signed my life away. Dealer told me they're trying to have the car picked up tomorrow or Saturday. Best I can tell it's a 2-4 day trip, so hoping to have the car here early next week! |
