As a few of you know, I had been having trouble with my Service Stabilitrak light coming on ever since about 2000 miles (before any modifications were made). Long story short, I had the local GM representative come down to try and resolve the matter. Well, it made matters worse. He placed restrictions on my car(behind my back) after seeing the modifications and would not get an engineer to look into the problem that I believed had nothing to do with the modifications. After meeting with him, I took the car back in and the dealer finally narrowed the problem down to a faulty steering wheel angle sensor. Well, guess what...the sensor was on the restrictions list. They would not cover the $322.86(parts & labor). I tried GM customer service and tried talking to the dealer, but none of this worked. The rep would not return my phone calls. So, I seeked out legal advice($50) and found out that the judge was consumer friendly and a car enthusiast. The attorney felt that I would win based on my documentation of the car having trouble before the mods, so I went to the Newport News Court office and filed a lawsuit against GM. This past week GM calls me up and wants to settle out of court and has agreed to pay the $322.86 + $58.00 in court costs + reinstate my warranty.
When GM called and after they told me they would be paying, I told them they better not pull a stunt like that again. Because, next time I am not going to settle...I am going take it all the way to court no matter if I win or lose! The best part was the local Gm rep had to make the final decision to let me win! So, never back down you guys!!! And GM...you can
