Pretty simple to me,GM takes the $44,xxx insurance payment gives op a brand new 2014 zl1 and is now an instant hero without being out much if any. The cheapest advertisement they can get.....

Another well built GM product saves the driver from serious injury. That is a Fact no-one can dispute.
Mr Hooper I have several of your books. I even have some signed copys. Thank You for you passion for the Camaro. A offer from Ford or Mopar cannot touch the love Mr Hooper has for GM and Camaro's in particular. If some knucklehead wrecked my car I'd be pissed, but I would also understand if I had it under-insured I would have to blame myself some as well. We all know when you leave your vehicle at the dealer it's out of your control and there is the possibility of things happening. This is one of the reasons why you have insurance. We all also know the moment we buy a new car and drive it off the lot it loses value. That is why they offer Gap insurance. If you choose to leave without it then that's on you. As in regards to the Dealership they should and have made a effort to make things right. Maybe could have gone further but they did try. I would not have accepted the offer they made, it's just not the exact car wanted. Mr Hooper should find the car that HE WANTS and let the dealer work out the deal from there. In any event Good Luck Mr & Mrs Hooper, I hope it works out well for you. |

For all of us that have read the entire thread and keep up with it I say this. I always tell my son (13yrs old) that he knows what is right and wrong and go with your gut. You know it. For the dealer to offer a replacement like they did, they tried to pull a fast one and they know it. Think about it they knew better. As for GM getting involved we will most likely never know. It would be a nightmare for them and as much as we all would love to know what really happens it Mr. & Mrs. Hooper who need to be happy. With that said I hope that they get the correct replacement no matter it really is and that they are happy. Best of luck to them.
I would really like to know what really happens to the employee except the being "fired". really thats it.

i saw this story on the forum around the time it first happened and thought "this will be cleared up quick its obvious that the dealer will be forced to pay", had no idea it was still going on till i checked car buzz this morning and this story is on there, so its definitely made media attention! I wish OP the best and believe heavily the dealer is completely in the wrong here, they did not safeguard his Camaro plain and simple end of story. its the reason companies hold background checks, because they are liable for their employees. I work for a moving company, if I decided to up and steal a customers entire truck of goods, even though i technically have they authority to have their goods in my possession, the company would still be liable to pay the customer back for their stolen property. now rather or not the dealership should be allowed to sue the employee is a whole different matter, but step one should be dealership taking care of the customer.

Sorry to hear about this matter.
It just make one think of how business ethics has gone to being non - existence - especially at this dealership. I think you need the help of a good attorney and the good national media coverage to get back your to what you deserve - a brand new "ZL!" and some compensation for your time and mental suffering. Oh boy! Wow! |

Well, what's so unusual with an individual buying a new car from his local dealer and having it serviced there? I can't follow most of your logic because there doesn't seem to be any. Good thing this forum has an ignore list.

Just seen this story on Yahoo yesterday, in fact it was a top 10 trending at the time, I am really surprised GM would allow this to happen without stepping in and giving the guy a new car

I said it from the get go...If I owned this dealership I would have fired the service manager for not keeping customer's keys secure. There is no reason a $10/hr. employee should have had access to millions of dollars in vehicles let alone the ones the dealership doesn't even own. Time for the dealer to chalk it up as a poor business mistake, pay out making it right with customer, and get on with trying to be a better company that puts their customers first.
