Wow, at least there are no rub marks... ummmm wrong sub forum.
As someone who went down the GM buyback road before... I have been over ever square inch of this car. And there are dozens of these type of cosmetic issues (don't get me started with overall paint quality). My biggest concern is I CAN NOT get the damn driver seat to stop chattering. But my big ass 260 lb frame may be outside of spec, I kid. The only mechanical thing I have had to correct is a plastic piece (a cover) on the front driver's side of the transmission that was not bolted down tight. Pics to follow. I drive this car hard, sometimes real hard but I don't dog it. Remember that some of the broken items may be user error... present company excluded. I am close to 3000 miles now. |

Looks like it will be easy to get the wheels polished/detailed/machined if you wanted a different paint scheme. |

And to top it off, the area where the lug nuts go/meet is just as bad. It is really unbelievable. |

I'd bet that in the minds of the GM folks, they think that that part of the wheel gets rather dirty rather quickly. They probably figure that "normal" buyers (buyers who don't clean their cars as regularly as we do) won't notice such a thing due to dirt.....because let's be real.....who in their right minds takes OFF their wheels to clean them........ no one but us!

And sure. I get on my car like you, perhaps. And maybe the half shaft issue and the strut snap are user caused incidents; I've considered this similarly. But then I start to wonder "what if".... Quality is both real and perceived. A seemingly simple paint decision (or lack thereof) behind the wheels seems innocuous .... Or is it?

The radio is flaky and I would suggest getting it flashed. FWIW chevy needs a little dogging every now and then. |
