The front left turn signal bulb quit yesterday, but today it's working. It's probably designed to fail temporarily to give you a day or two to plan the service or buy a new bulb, hahaha.
It's 11 months old, so I called a local Chev dealer and was told "Yes, it is covered by warranty, but call a day in advance because it's a big job."
Big job???!!!
I usually do small service things myself because it's less trouble than taking a vehicle to the dealer for a day.
The nice lady on the phone told me that on some models they have to remove the bumper to change the bulb.
Can this be true? If so it has to be a new low point on GM automobile design.
She also suggested, if I do it myself, that I buy a high quality GM original parts bulb, not a cheap Canadian Tire one, because it is so much work to change, I'd want one that lasts as long as possible. Like the one that just failed after 11 months, I presume.
WTF's going on here - is this why GM is in the toilet, or is this just more dealer service bullshit?
