That's odd. According to GMConnects, you and I are in the same boat. However, my dealer told me it's been shipped by train and waiting for a truck (for almost 2 weeks now). What the heck is going on?! I trust Becky more if she told you you're still based.

Since I've been waiting, 2 dealers in my area now have my car. I'm considering my options...

Fellow 9-19ers. If you experience a delay in your engine starting after you turn the key and the check engine light comes on, here's what you should know. I can't believe I had to have warranty work after just 300 miles.

No issues here.... My only problems are - Alignment is off slightly - pulls to right, and 2nd gear sometimes fights with me going in. (it's not the 1 to 4 shift warning on the dic either! lol).

Anbody use the tire pressure monitor on the DIC? - shows 1 or 2 are not correctly inflated. Could be the reason why my alignment is off.

I haven't used the DIC yet for tire pressure check but I do use my OnStar Remote Link app on my iPhone. It's a nice little tool to have.

I can't believe the fluctuation I see. Sometimes I'll get a reading of 32 psi and other times 34 to 37 psi. Just now I see 3 tires at 34 and one at 35. When it fluctuates like that, I just keep driving. When I had my 2010 I wouldn't add air until it started driving funny, like when the tires would easily follow ruts in the road. Sometimes I wonder just how accurate the monitor really is.

Funny you should mention this, I've had my car for two weeks now and my steering wheel is SLIGHTLY turned to the right. The car doesn't seem to be pulling though. Its not a huge deal but it's sorta annoying on highways.

Other than that, everything is fine. I got my Chevy survey in my email the other day and I did it tonight, I gave them all "completely satisfied"s, they deserved it....it was a pleasure dealing with them. My car is incredible by the way, as all of our cars are!!

I'm having the same problem with the pulling to the right too. I checked my air pressure on the DIC and everything seems fine. My pressure is at 34 and not the recommended 36 but I don't think that is the problem.

Looks like a bit of trend with the alignment. Thx all for your replies.

Still haven't received my survey yet.

JameG - Who is your dealer?
And I thought my dealer was bad because they couldn't or wouldn'r give me a rail car #.

[Spanka]

Well, it turns out my car is infact still bayed in Canada!

So, with that in mind, what options do you guys think I have? Of course there's waiting and canceling my order. Neither sound ideal. I did a search and now 2 other dealers in my area have the same car (minus the GFX).

Do you think I should do a dealer trade? They would charge me for the trading fee (~$300). Could I demand they don't? If I wait, is there any chance I can get GM to give me a rebate for their "fanastic" service? Am I just screwed?

I think you've got a leg to stand on Spanka. They owe you big time. I've seen the factory GFX for $1800 and will give you the link if you want. If you do cancel the order - demand a refund of everything you paid or demand that they eat the $300 or so bucks they want to charge you for a swap. Or ask for a definitve reason why the car has been bayed for the amount of time it has. Just reading this has my blood boiling.

On the other hand, do you think that maybe you car was a victim of some major accident while it was in the yard?

Here's hoping for the best. Good Luck!

Yes Spanka I agree, they do owe you big time. I would cancel and seek your car elsewhere. Just know that we’re rooting for you… Hey Johng57, I would sure like to have that link for the GFX if you don’t mind.
