Not my intention to bring this up here John. Andy was reading this thread and the title is Obamamotors. Split this off to the goF forum and we can continue this there.

It is however a vehicle made by gm. And Obama did say the us govt would stand behind this which they obviously haven't. How this all went down does a good job of showing this hasn't happened. Dealer knows all the issues with this truck for 5.5 years now and hasn't done anything to fix it all while under warranty.

It sucks and I do hope you get it resolved but one has nothing to do with the other.

Scott - I worked for dealers for years, also in service. Sounds to me like you have a hard problem to diagnose or not a crack team working on it. This happened long before "Obama motors" and is totally independent of it. You probably should have taken this to the GM District Service Manager for escalation.

My point is, this has nothing to do with Obama.

I think Obama called GM......I think he's reading this.

Andy did you call them just curious? They called me this morning woman said she was district rep but she sounded like she was calling from India still. I believe she said I should not have been charged for this part. She's supposed to call back Friday.

Barry if your reading this I'll vote for you if you fix my truck but you still should kick the aunt & uncle to the curb ok?

No Scott I didn't call. The case will be escalated to a tier 2 specialist. They will reimburse you. I only chimed in this thread to state GM is doing more than they ever have to help customers, they know how they used to be and are taking steps to right the ship. Your truck definately has a problem. Your dealer can help you but doesn't want to. IMO your issues could have been handled much better. GMs policies are quite clear on customer issues, and not one of them is politically motivated.

Well if they fix it then I'll sure be happy. Tnx for your help!

Wish you weren't so far from me for service you'd get my business.

This dealer was always like that when Tuck owned it. Btw I put the sensor on the bench and looked at it with an ohm meter and it looked fine.

Wrong wrong wrong. The new eco boost engine is well into the twenties and the ranger is nit a guzzler. The biggest pigs out there are the super duties but what do you expect.

File under chuckle...a GM customer service rep popped up on the duramax forum today on this. Good if they're using forums to improve their product. Bad if it's cya mode.... They're probably here now too.

Well the dispute went beyond the 45 day rebuttal time and not even a call from the dealer. Oh sorry we forgot about it....nope.

Stuff this in your pipe Barry

Chevy Volt Costing Taxpayers Up to $250K Per Vehicle [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

6000 volts? What a freakin JOKE.

Should ring the whitehouse with all the carcasses and let them use it as a protection fence. Then again probably not even worth it.

Again with the false reality. With each one sold, that number per vehicle goes down. Those batteries aren't only going to be used in the volt, either.

Distort, distort, distort.

"It’s unlikely that all the companies involved in Volt production will ever receive all the $3 billion in incentives, Hohman said, because many of them are linked to meeting various employment and other milestones"

"GM has estimated they’ve sold 6,000 Volts so far. That would mean each of the 6,000 Volts sold would be subsidized between $50,000 and $250,000, depending on how many government subsidy milestones are realized."

Th $50,000 - $250,000 numbers are only if 6,000 volts are ever sold.

Not true. Golf tdi gets 30 city, 42 highway averages about 40. The prius drivers I know get overall 44. Consumer reports rates tdi 38 prius 44. Some people report higher in both. The golf is more expensive than a prius. Diesel is more expensive. Overall a prius is much cheaper to own and less emissions. The civic hybrid is about equal to a tdi, though again it is cheaper.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
