A GM guy on this forum said that was caused by liquid refrigerant going thru the compressor. I always thought this was a bad thing but he said they basically overcharge to get the good cooling that they do.

yea I got the GM Major Guard for my 07 Tahoe since its still under factory warranty right now. If you actually go through your documentation on the Major Guard, it is not a true bumper to bumper. It does not cover interior parts, trim, rattles, squeaks, paint etc and alot of other stuff. I got the 0 deductable one also. It seems like it only covers the major things but I guess thats why its called Major Guard.

Our Burb has had the handles replaced, as well as the steering wheel center piece, that started to peel as well

i have the same noise comming from the rear end when i hit speend bumps etc going slow. Its like a errrg sound like you are spinning out or something. Im taking it in tomorrow for this.

Let us know when you come across a B2B warranty that covers "interior parts, trim, rattles, squeaks, paint etc".

Did you know that you can get a refund for the unused part of the GMPP?

Default Gm has come through

Guys,

I just got a call today from GM, they are replacing my dash, fixing my door handles, and everything else that's wrong with my 08 Burb.

I think they are starting to accept the fact these are factory defects, and that it would be better for them to address the individual coplaints oppossed to putting out a recall. For once they would have to spend a lot of money and replace these items for everybody with these particula vehicles, even if they haven't experienced these issues.

Anyway, I suggest you all contact GM directly and let them handle these issues for you, it is only fair. Here's their contact information:

Chevrolet/GMC Customer Service - 1-800-222-1020

My friend called today and they are escalating the issue for him, he also has the famous crack on the dash.

Good luck guys!!!!!!

I was told today that it was the drive shaft, which they replaced!!! So apparently this is another factory defect on our vehicles.

Good Luck!!

I also have the infamous crack on my dash and it is about 9inchs and still growing. Kinda sucks cause everyone is starting to notice it once they get in my truck. I've called the dealership and they have said that it is not under warranty and that I should start using "Armor All" even though it is not UV protection.

I took my Tahoe in for the same noise - have to replace the slip yoke with an "updated" one. this piece is on backorder (I guess lots of these problems). it is under the 5year/100k warranty so will be replaced for free.
