Hello Group..... "(Hello Mr Smith if thats your real name)
"Professional My A_ _," (you said it not me)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0You will serve yourself well by selecting a Ford Expedition or a Dodge Durango for your family. Chevrolet has been selling trucks and SUVs with what I believe are defective engines. (Noone asked what you believe...They asked what you know)
I made the mistake of purchasing one of their experiments and am now suffering the consequences. After hearing the cold start engine noise I took the truck into the dealer. (Good for you)
=A0=A0The first few times they said that it was normal and that they had received a "do not repair order" from GM. (you must go there alot)
=A0=A0I don't know if I'm misunderstanding that, but if you issue a "do not repair order" then that means that their is something to repair (no that means ITS NOT AN ISSUE and send the hypocondreact back home)
=A0=A0The noise continued to grow in intensity and length, so I took the truck in again and this time made an issue of having them check it out. I left the truck with the dealer overnight so that they could hear the noise themselves. This time instead of saying again that it was normal, they said that they had spoken with the GM tech advisers and now claim that it is "carbon buildup on the pistons" I asked if they would fix this problem and they said that there was nothing that they could do.
I only have 5700 miles on this vehicle and have had this noise since new, (Should have asked for another one before you ran it into the ground...)
=A0=A0as I have continually told the dealer. The idea that this is "carbon buildup on the pistons" is a joke, that is unless the truck was delivered to the dealer with the carbon preinstalled. (must have been a cruel joke just for you) =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0
=A0I called the "Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center" and they also were well trained, they said the same line, Carbon Deposits. She admitted this has been going on since 1999 until now, that they have redesigned the engines to correct this while still insisting that it is not a problem. (see its not a problem your over reacting)
I feel that Chevrolet knowingly sold me a defective truck (yep they pin point all the Smiths out)
and in my opinion that is fraud, If you think these engines aren't defective just go out and see what the resale value is. (Sounds like this is slander)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0In the end they refused to fix the problem and offered me a 3 year extension (only covering the engine) to my warranty, I asked what the hell good that would do me, if they say that it's not a problem now are they all of a sudden going to say it's a problem in three years and fix it (keep in mind that they have doubled the acceptable oil consumption rate to cover this ). (ok Mr fix it what is the acceptable oil consumption?)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Chevrolet has conducted an experiment with these engines and we, the consumers are the guineapigs. (I see the mental side affects it has caused) =A0=A0=A0
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0I will never buy a GM product again. Ford, Dodge, Japanese products, anything is better than dealing with a company that is eager to take your money and then doesn't care about your problems with their mistakes. (Maybe he should read other news groups. They all have one or two of him in there)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Thanks (NO PROB)
this Newsgroup for giving me a forum to state my problem with Chevrolet and GM. (im Sorry what was your problem?)
