Wizard1183 -

Your right there are crummy company, but I had other problems with the car and never turned it for warranty service, micro switches in the seat locking up the forward action, and the $500 in parts I put into before I put into the shop going through the plugs, coils packs, wires, new battery, etc are all on me and that fine because this is where most people get upset because NO ONE every covers maintenance, and the way it sold is bumper to bumper but nothing it bumper to bumper. Quite frankly I didn’t even remember my wife purchasing it, I have a limited attention span, she remembered and dug the paperwork- unfortunately I wasn’t smart enough to have her hold one to what we have left for paperwork after the hurricane, I generally don’t keep recipients especially on 7 quarts of Mobil 1 and a oil filter, apparently doing your own maintenance is a criminal to them.

This is also another reason we bought a standard, no AFM (Advance Fuel Management) and I have heard of all these cars and trucks that are switching cylinder after reaching driving speed having all sorts of issues, I owned a 1983 Cadillac Elderado that had the 4/6/8 computer that at that time was supposed the best ‘AFM’ on the market and I had nothing but issues, I learned that lesson - most car do have overriding kits and I would not think twice about when I purchase another car.

I have contacted the GM hotline and since it not a GM dealer the don’t really care, never mind it my 37th GM CAR (Family First) I guess this is another lesson about buying new and used, I had issues with my Yukon that I purchased new and GMPP ate everything and every did more after the warranty expired, I did of course asked them if I have it towed to a GM dealer with the honor the TSB on 62K mile car, they havent gotten back to me, and I may had shot myself in the foot for $40 for every hour in labor, maybe not but most luckly I’m really good at that too.



So at this point I can cancel this mess after they terminate my claim officially and raise hell with my lawyer, the will fall back on the excuse that they never had the chance for inspection so I can make sure the shop keeps notes, another reason for me not to do the work, and when I cancel it I will get about .25 on the dollar which will roll into my finance contract and come out when the car is paid, or it would be like being a couple payment ahead, which is most likely the way I will go, however I will dig out all the reciepts for all my cars and try to prove to them that I take care of my automobiles and see what happens- once again, definitely NOT holding my breath.

As much as I know about warranties that’s also as much as I don’t know - go figure, I guess I am someone who believes that the a company will do the correct thing, not try and cheat you, not to mention it’s little tough when your better half is telling you she thinks is a good idea. Not to get too far off topic but a different third party warranty paid over $1500 for my 2011 Cadillac SRX AWD headlight assemblies which are expensive as hell and rotate while turning which is what I doing right now - so go figure.

I have been up looking for a $500 - $1000 just to bring my kids to school and get to work until I get this square, and just resell it afterward, I am putting my magic pencil to everything right now trying to figure the complete cost of this mess and paying $173 a week to rent a Chevrolet Spark I leaning towards having them do a drip test, pay the extra hour, and long as the bottom end is not destroyed having it towed back to my house while catching hell from my neighborhood association and make sure it’s just the top end and pull over the left head, recam, lifters, rods, have the head mangaflux and she what that will run me to do myself. I have to get a Mitchells or another online subscription and see exactly what the recall is and what GM states to fix the problem correctly, and other TSB with similar issues as I still am concerned that the cylinder 8 only have 90 psi, which is redline failure and that is not the what is technically causing the misfire, it’s cylinder 6 with a 125 psi ?

If the GM TSB thinks pulling apart cylinder 6 and just replacing those parts then maybe that what I will do, most likely not. I not much for doing a half job even if f I was getting rid of it - I haven’t sleep in 3 day since ‘ Besty’ went in for surgery, I appreciated the input - any futhur thoughts ??

Best
