My 1LE set a record
The quickest breakdown of any vehicle I have bought brand new. Around 200 miles and the check engine light came on. Took it to the dealership and apparently the the air box was deformed. So much for the one month quality hold it was in. :)

Might be from all that heat there in AZ.. Hopefully they got it fixed for you..
|
That's not a big deal at all.
|
Put a CAI on it :)
|
And to think GM just won top honors in quality.

Hope they got it fixed properly. Mine developed low rpm exhaust rattle and occasional wind noise (coming through the driver side window) at 200 miles. Unsurprisingly, they were not able to reproduce any of those. I bet intentional deafness is a common trait among service reps :sm0:
I'm going to order a pair of race ramps along with a hammer today :sm0: |

Seems like the car is functioning perfectly, there was a problem the computer recognized it. Fast turn around by your dealership not always the case.
|
That's fast 200 miles and the first problem. I'm at 800 tonight and got my first issue. Switching lanes are 70 on the highway the tire pressure monitoring system gave me a warning to get it checked out. The menu wasnt displaying tire pressure. It fixed itself after I restarted. Hope this doesn't happen all the time.

I wouldn't call this a breakdown, rather an inconvenience.

How could the computer detect that the airbox was deformed? All it does is measure the airflow going into the throttle body. Unless the airbox was severly deformed or obstructed this should not have been discovered by the computer. Did they show you the airbox after they took it out? How was it "deformed" visibly? Do you know what code the car threw?

No, they did not show me the air box and I didn't ask. I wasn't all that interested. They got me in there quickly, fixed the car quickly and I was on my way. So far no more check engine light and that's all that matters. I don't remember the code exactly. |
