I'd be a bit upset that they took my car apart without having the parts to fix it. Just doesn't make sense to me. I would not be happy about this at all. Good luck!

Honestly if this happened to me I would settle for nothing less of a new Camaro from the dealer. There is no excuse for stupidity like that. You may be able to replace the interior but I don't think you'll be able to get all the mold and for someone like me with allergies that is hell.

Well they had to figure out what was wrong with it. What I hate is when they slap it back together and send you back out, still with the problem, so you can drive around for 3 weeks until the parts come in.

Imagine how good the smell of the new Camaro their insurance company buys you will be.

I was contacted yesterday by GM after a BBB claim and basically they stand behind their cars not their dealers. The GM rep says from what he sees a buyback is not in order. Car has been to dealer at least ten times for about 45 days and counting. They still have to replace the water managmnet system and the carpet and whatever else having a moldy car requires.

To me this is all on the dealer. They have a responsibility while the car is under their care not to incur further damage from their negligence. You may have to get a lawyer and sue the dealership for negligence, loss of use of the vehicle, and maybe for your aggravation. GM probably will not replace the car themselves but for customer relations they might. So I would continue to persue both avenues and see which one leads somewhere.
Good luck.

100% Bullshit.

The dealer is an agent of GM. One cannot separate themselves from the other. A dealer ****s up is GM ****ing up. Period, ask any attorney.

Let them fix it, stick it in the sun for a week and see if it still smells like ass.

BBB is the first step, lemon law next if still not resolved. What was the BBB ruling? Sounds like you have met a rep that wont help until ordered to. Some are helpfull and grasp the concept of customer satisfaction. Some are assholes that need a judge to tell them how the situation should be handled.

Agreed, sadly who you should focus on is the dealer. GM may step in but the fault is solely on the dealer due to they are the ones who did it.

I would try every avenue possible to get this resolved to you having a new Camaro

Have you called your insurance company? Perhaps they can either give you some advice or depending on your policy you may be able to file a claim and they would in turn go after the dealers insurance.

Just a thought.

If you end up with the car...I would find someone who does ozone treatments on vehicles.

No ruling from BBB as of yet. Everything is shut down due to storm. GM rep didn't even know he was calling into a disater zone.

My top has been worked on four times replaced once and now has been being repaired due to leak for over three weeks. Did I mention that car has been taking on water... it rained alomst every day this month.
