OK update on the car, not that it's much of an update, but now I'm getting particularly frustrated at GM.

The EBCM has apparently malfunctioned on my car, as I stated above. GM wanted the tech to send them all the info on the ECM so they can review for warranty claim. No problem with that. However, When I brought my car in over a week ago, I told the dealer I needed the car back befre this Friday as I have a prior obligation that my car needs to attend in San Francisco. The service advisor and tech were both aware of this. So when GM asked for all the info from the ECM, I knew it would take them days if not longer to go through it all and figure out what they want to do about it.

So I told the dealership, put me down as a paying customer, thinking that if I am paying for this piece, they will send me one. Nope wrong. I find out today after the dealer talked to three different GM reps that they are WITHOLDING the part because it is on restriction!!! Now I can understand them putting a restriction on the part if I were claiming warranty, but now I am paying for my car to get fixed and I'm paying full retail for the broken part as well. GM still WON'T GIVE ME MY PART. Now I'm pissed because not only am I paying full retail for parts and labor, my car has been there for over a week, and most of the time it's been sitting there getting dirty waiting for GM to figure out what to do.

GM is now going through all the info from my ECM to try and diagnose the problem based on what the computer is telling them. In the meantime, my car isn't getting fixed, they won't give me my damn part, and I now have to drive 600 miles in the rain with NO ABS. Basically I paid $40k for a car from GM, and they won't release a $400 part (that I'm paying for!!!!) to me because it BROKE!!!

Just know that everyone at the dealership, from the tech, the advisor, to the service manager are all helping me out as much as they can, and I think the world of them. Now it's GM's turn to return the favor for me buying this car, they need to give me my part so I can fix the damn car!
