Here's to hoping your new blower isn't as noisy as your current one. Quote:
At least, I hope so. I hope that GM gets both of you guys taken care of. As a fellow ZL1 owner whose car has less than 500 miles on it, I don't know how irate I'd be if I wasn't able to enjoy my car right after buying it. So far, so good....with mine. Knock on wood. |

part of car is unacceptable to customer
GM offers to replace the unacceptable part customer is still angry. Can anyone explain to me what else GM can do? They don't make the damn supercharger, they install it on the engine. when it fails or is unsatisfactory, they replace it for the customer. Please people, you bought a $56K car. Great, good for you, but at the end of the day, it's still a machine. Parts break on machines. Be happy there is a warranty behind it to replace said broken parts. You'll be without your car for two days. Keep an eye on the weather station and you won't even notice it's gone. Pick two rainy days.

I think if they replace the SC and the noise is gone, they've done you right. Trash? That's a pretty stupid comment. Pick up a magazine and read a review. Nobody thinks these cars are trash.

Couldn't agree more but they (manufacturers) all have issues. It's like they can't keep up with technology and their supplier quality these days. If you look at what's available today without knowing about all the issues it awesome but then you have issues like this and it's mind blowing that they still let this happen even with all the ctsv complaints. I say if you truely want your money back get a lawyer involved. I am just waiting for mine to get bad enough to have them change it. What sucks is I want to mod the car but can't till I get this resolved. This car has pissed me off so bad that when it was time to get a new diesel truck this year I spent my 60k elsewhere

well at this point I'm not sure there really is any fix to this common issue. we all know the factory coupler is crap but GM refuses to change the design to a solid version.
so even if they replace the S/cer then what? the new one will still have the same garbage as the old one. then what?

you guys are right maybe the car isn't junk. some people say your complaining but they are fixing it, yes that's correct, yes its still a machine, & YES they know the issue exists, so in turn don't charge people $60k for the car then! OR redesign to fix the problem & all this goes away! PERIOD!!
I have owned four Camaros in my lifetime & don't get me wrong I still am I Camaro guy, Christ I even have it tattooed on my leg. In my case yes im pissed, again this is my SECOND ZL1, after replacing the first one, who in there right mind wouldn't be pissed, especially when the bank is breathing down my neck each month for there money & I wont even have the car. AGAIN we need a class action suit!!! |

Like others have stated, many car companies have plenty of issues. My new 370Z Roadster had plenty of problems that many experienced, steering lock failures, master clutch cylinder failure, bad clear coat and the softest paint I have ever seen. Overall I am pretty impressed with GM and Chevrolet and the way they stand behind their products. They are much better at this than most of the other car companies I have dealt with. Just my .02

A class action suit would be interesting, but likely will not materialize. Ask all of the SS owners how that second gear grind issue panned out with the TremecTR6060 trans. GM, to this day, will tell you that they haven't heard about the problem. Disgusting.

What I don't understand, is that the car has only 120 miles on it.
Didn't the OP inspect the car when he picked it up? Or did the car sound normal at delivery time then developed the noise sometime during the first 120 miles of driving it himself. Maybe I'm missing something here? if it sounded like that at delivery time, why even accept it? |

the car didn't make the noise when I picked it up. The dealer is approx. 90 miles from my house, so somewhere in between leaving the dealer & getting home it started.
