What does the cars computer tell GM when they read it.. it's just speed and angle's of turns correct? They won't pin me for it for speeding a week ago or drifting a few months ago will they?

I figured it would be covered. Most people on this forum seem to think that dealers are out to deny claims. I have yet to convince anyone that dealers make money on warranty claims and its in their best interest to cover as much as possible.

The airbag module logs everything that your doing, speed, steering angle, brake pedal position, throttle position, G's being pulled, whether the brakes are locked or not, etc. But this information is continually being over written. When the airbags deploy all this information is frozen, so they have a snapshot of everything that was happening at the time of deployment and maybe the last 30 seconds leading up to deployment. So, no they won't know what you were doing last week or a few months ago. But, if you are ever involved in a serious accident and you were doing anything illegal leading up to it, you might want to get your hands on that airbag module before the police or DA's office does.

Very true. GM supplies the dealer parts and they charge GM a flat rate for the labor. It's not in the dealers interest to deny warranty claims. There's absolutely no profit in a denied warranty claim.

My father is good friends with the owner of my local Chevy dealer, my 12 year old brother and his kid are friends so he knew us. He jokingly gave us a hard time, and said that the gm rep that came to look at it personally said it appeared that I had been drifting but he put it under a warrenty claim anyways. I am glad their are good companies out there still.. GM RULES
