Default Back to the dealer... trip number 301

Spoke w/dealer today, goes in Thursday! Red light on rear view mirror, did OnCrap Diagnostic... they said i have a communication module out of whack.

I FU*KING HATE MY CHEVY TAHOE AND WISH IT WOULD JUST GET STOLEN OR BLOW UP.

This is the 300th + time it's been to the dealer since NEW. NEW with 6 miles. NEW.

GM has cut me a

$940
$300
$480

check for their inabilty to build something worth a damn.

Let's see if I can't get another $200.

Where's use(less) Jeff? C'mon buddy... you reading this?
YOUR COMPANY BUILDS $HIT and should have went under!

All I wanted was a vehicle that worked, not eternal damnation in HELL.
Time to call the BBB again! It can't go 2 months without something breaking!

I'm getting my friend who owns a sign company to make me some window stickers "DON'T BUY GM, ASK ME WHY" and my phone number plastered all over the damn thing... I am telling anyone and everyone I can to avoid them like the plauge. My dad want's a Avalanche. No freaking way. I've shown him the reliablity studies, and FORD is kicking GM's *** up and down.

sell it and get something else. if you are upside down right now then that is a risk you take when buying a new vehicle. you have had the worst luck with your truck than anyone I have ever known. I know you have an anti GM plan in the works but honestly there are lemons with every make and model - looks like you got one sadly

Default Lemon

Believe me if I could Lemon it, I would. If I could afford to sell it and get what I want, I would.

Lemon law only applies if it can't be driven, or affects safety.

as for selling it, I paid $53,400.

It's now worth (best guess) $36,000

I'm not taking that loss.

Default built

I think the term 'Built' implies they used some sort of screw, bolt, or what not.

I'm fairly sure this thing is just spit and double sided tape where the spit didn't hold.

Electronics built by Lucas. It's not a GM. It's MG.

I hear you! I'm so tired of "sensors" going bad that cause my vehical not to operate. Now my stabilitrac is F'd up. Probably another sensor thats costs $500 to replace. I will never buy another gm product again. The only American made product I would maybe trust is Ford at this point. My two Hondas that are both 12 years old are doing fine though. Go figure.

Just read today that Honda just increased the number of vehicles on the air bag recall. Somehow a random, spontaneous air bag going off rates a little higher on the OMG factor than a Stabilatrac lite.
