Hi -
I believe you, and I believe the dealer, but I don't believe that this is happening.
To me it makes much more sense to send the cars out AS IS to the dealers and have them fix this cable issue.
There are THOUSANDS of cars still sitting in Oshawa, mine included. I now believe that this stupid fix is costing them alot of time, and us alot of money. They should ship it to the dealers and let them fix it.
Yes, GM is specific on the type of tape that is needed, but COME THE F ON! There are plenty of different types of heat resistant tape and tubing that could be used to fix this issue. I bet it doesn't hurt to move the cable away from the engine to keep it even cooler.
Something is seriously wrong at GM - I'm not just talking about their finances - I am starting to think that the cars are behind held back for another reason - and forcing the dealers to keep the cars on the show floor by not shipping parts is slick.
Haole: If were you, I would go down to the dealers at 9am tomorrow morning and DEMAND my car. Recall or not, it is YOUR CAR, not GM's. Take it to ANY garage and show them the instructions and pictures for this repair (the official docs are available here at Camaro5.com) and have them do the repair for you. SCREW THE DEALER. They are taking advantage of you right now so they can get more orders. If you want them to continue to use your car as a show piece make them PAY YOU RENT.
I'm tired of GM, tired of the BS, and really F'ing TIRED of nobody at GM knowing where anyone's car is. Dealers, CSR, Head Honchos etc, know SWEET F ALL.
