You now have a flood damaged car and will never be the same. Moisture gets everywhere. All of the electronics will have to be replaced. Demand a brand new car. Even if you have all of the work done to make the car run and smell good again, it will still forever be a flood damaged car. Your resale value is out the window. The dealer doesn't have a leg to stand on. Your car might as well have been in Issac. It's the same thing. Call all the way to Detroit if you have to and keep on screaming until they replace your car. I got my Pontiac Grand Prix painted for free by directly calling Michigan. Give them hell!

The empty spot is where my car was parked before I discovered it. I was told that it was being moved inside and put on the lift for the storm in case there was a flood. |

Yeah, your resale value is shot. I would demand a new car.

Guess it is the same for cars...
From here... http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/psa/mold.asp
This is an important message from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. When rain or flood waters get into your building, take steps to prevent mold growth. Clean and dry wet items within 48 to 72 hours. Keep wet areas well-ventilated. Discard wet materials that cant be repaired. If you see or smell mold, clean it with a solution of 1 cup household liquid bleach per 1 gallon of water. From here... http://www.cdc.gov/mold/dampness_facts.htm You do not need to know the type of mold growing in your home, and CDC does not recommend or perform routine sampling for molds. No matter what type of mold is present, you should remove it. Since the effect of mold on people can vary greatly, either because of the amount or type of mold, you can not rely on sampling and culturing to know your health risk. |

The arbitration program is completely different from their dealings with general complaints. Which is just letters going back and forth. This is a formal dispute resolution process. Years (decades) ago in a settlement with the FTC, GM agreed to implement a 3rd party arbitration program. Remember the metric 200 transmissions? End result.... FTC involvement..... BBB arbitration program implemented as a path to pursue unresolved complaints. If you're getting shafted on car problems that have gone rediculous.... BBB arbitrate it. I good rep won't let it get that far, they will find a solution that satisfies the customer. Unfortunately some don't act until forced to act. |

Really sorry to hear about your problem - it's dealerships like that which give GM a bad name.

Well the car would not have been there in the first place if it were not for a faulty top. Not like the car was brought there for routine oil change. The only people who seemed concerned that has been standing water in this car for 3 weeks are other car people, nobody else seems to get it.

Since I work in Infection Prevention and Control in Healthcare, trust me when I say the only way to get rid of mold is to REMOVE it. Mold only needs food, damp environment and right temperateure to grow and expand. Youre food source would be the seats, top, carpet etc. Plastic, Metal parts would need to be totally cleaned with Bleach. Bleach and a few other Hospital grade chemicals are the only chemicals that will kill mold. Even bleach will not kill all types of mold spores. If you have anyone in family with respiratory problems etc. They would never be able to ride in that car. Basically what I'm saying is the car is a health risk unless it has been completely tore down and cleaned and the FOOD sources have been replaced.
