594 Miles In My 2024 Silverado Is Back At The Dealership. The Truck Will Never Be The Same And I Couldn't Care Less About The Warranty

What do you expect when a president in order to get union votes bails out a company with tax payer dollars that should have been left to sink or swim on its own? The tax payers still have a short fall of $10,000,000,000.

Auto/truck purchasers who go through a dealership are paying a big premium. They are covering the cost of salesmen, dealership buildings and property taxes, maintenance, HVAC....The list goes on. In George's case, he didn't get customer advocacy in return for the extra cost. Personally I will never purchase from a dealership again. Even if I must travel cross country to get my vehicle. There value add of going through a dealership is just not worth it.

The dealer should replace the long block at the minimum . The 4 cyl engine does not belong in a truck .

This isnt Kohl's where you just get switched out a new truck, just like you were to buy a new home and the electrical box smoked. They fix it, you move on. He can take the loss and trade it in for new, but that's how it works. If the truck will "never be the same" that's because dealers hire for the least they can, pay flat-rate which is a scam for the employee trying to make money, and they get a half-assed repair. It's not the trucks fault. The truck will be fine. We just have a crybaby here. ALL vehicles are just MACHINES that may look pretty. Machines have faults. The MiniMax's are junk engines to begin with. Our fleet has them and they blow for no reason.

GM has had engine problems for years, the dealers get sent these what I call baby engines and the salesmen are told to push these inferior trucks to get them off the lot. They talk these engines up to customer to get them off the lot. Facts are the gas mileage isn't any better than the 8 cylinders if you keep your foot off the floor with them. In the mountains of East Tennessee I average between 18 and 23 miles to the gallon with my 5.3, these little motors are a joke as far as I am concerned.

The dealership should have replaced the whole engine.

Why buy a 4 cylinder full size truck? If I am going to buy a full size truck, I’m looking for a V8 or big V6. Not a I4 which is under powered for a full size truck. Unless you are buying a truck just to “fit in”.

If the engine is replaced, it will probably be a reman. At 95k, my 2019 siverado had a warranty engine replacement. Not a new engine, a reman. The warranty was extended 100k or 3 years. I took a 2500 mile round trip after I got it back. Drove it like I stole it. So far so good. The issue was/is the DFM. I bought one the afm/ dfm delete modules and it seems to run better. Buying the module and using it was the advice of the service department Mgr. If it gives me a problem again, it's gone. BTW, the dealership had my truck for 9-10 weeks.

If that problem was not caught on the assembly line there is no telling what else is wrong, replace the whole truck or 100% refund. These trucks are supposed to last 100K miles, not 500

I had a similar experience with a 2024 GMC 3.0 DURA MAX. 639 miles when the engine failed I live in Indiana and filed a lemon law claim gm could not fix the truck and it took them 6 months to finally give back my money.

Had same problem with a 2015 Silverado LTZ. Took about a month to repair (not too bad considering it happened during the pandemic). This was the third vehicle I purchased from Marty Feldman Chevrolet of Novi Michigan and at least they offered a loaner and kept me updated through the whole process. Customer service goes a long way in my book and that is what will bring me back to them when I purchase my next vehicle.

I think the finance agencies should get involved. It can be difficult to impossible to get decent financing on a vehicle that known not to be mechanically sound. if the dealers and automakers were forced to add salvage to the title, for instance, in cases like this. It might force them to make changes.

What does he mean when he says two cylinders need to be replaced, and why does he think it'll never be the same ?? It would be interesting to understand what he is talking about. Does the truck have two bad coil packs, two bad wrist pins. Both reading and listening to the video makes me think troll. How does one have so little information about what's going on. How is a cylinder replaced. Sorry without proof I'm saying troll, and all you pro owners that think the government and Chevrolet needs to hand over a new truck can get together and protest. Please go cry in the Colorado River it'll help with drought

This entire story sounds like crock of sheet to me. The best
part is all the bleeding hearts that agree with the writer when they "Don't Have a Clue" as to what's going on.

The manufacturers trying to turbo charge these 4 cylinder Motors to produce horsepower ratings similar to a V8 or V6. The problems are many, these small engines work twice as hard. The Ford 4 cylinder ecoboost motors are having alot of issues and now chevy has joined. Give me a good Ole V8 and I'll take the little lower gas mpg over the 4 cylinder issuses.

GM having too many issues on new vehicles while price is sky high unreasonable. Cutting corners to make big profits. Wouldn't buy any new Gm brand vehicle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the pistons that are being replaced? To replace a cylinder, the whole engine block would be replaced since all the cylinders are part of one casting.

Same thing happen to me purchase a brand new GMC Canyon Delani interior door panels did not match, seats were not sown properly and dealer told me there was no parts in North America to fix these problems they were going to get a aftermarket upholstery firm to fix it, took back to the dealer with 800 miles on it loss $8000 when the dealer bought it back, I swore no more GM products for me and previously I had own 6 brand new full size GM P/U if GM can't stand behind their products it's a loss cause.

I bot a new Chevy truck (Z71) in Fresno CA. In 1998 on the way home about 200 miles to LA. I turn on the headlights and can't see very good they were so far out of adjustment I had to stop and buy a set of torx to adjust them next I'm looking at the floor and the carpet looks funny it was put in so after that I see my seat is in at an angle i called Fresno dealer so tells me to take it to a dealer near so i take it to Van Nuys they check it out told me they would not have accepted it if it was delivered to them in the first place there was other thing worng with too it had 1800 miles by now l told them i wanted a new truck or my money back I put $7500 down they gave me $7500 back

I had a brand new 2022 3500 HD. I plugged in the block heater one night in my cold shop and parked another one in front of it when I got out of the other vehicle I heard crackling I went and looked and the truck was on fire I put it out called chevy they told me to drive it to a dealership 20 miles away IT WAS ON FIRE!!! They didn't care I got it there nothing for a month I sat with no new truck finally a lady called me and said they were going to fix it i asked what was wrong she told me chevy doesn't release investigation info so I'm driving a truck that was on fire and I don't know why thank you chevy

I had a similar mishap years ago. Mine was a Jeep that wouldn't go into 4 wheel drive. I went back to the dealer and had multiple calls about it. They told me it was not supposed to be sold that they knew the problem but it was on the showroom floor. I had to hire an attorney's and actually had to go to court over this. My attorney and the time involved was extremely costly. But it was the point of them selling it when they already knew the problem existed. I did it for the principle of not wanting to let them get away with it. In the end I gave it back and never bought another Jeep again.

Exactly why sworn off GMC/Chevy. Had problem like this, instant it was drivable without issue selling or trade for something else. They are the one and only vehicle mfg yet I would refuse to buy ever again

Just my opinion, they should have replaced or brought back the truck and if not, a loaner until work was completed. It is very unfortunate in situations like this that dealerships offer any help. I could only imagine the anger he had with driving a new vehicle for 594 miles and having problems. I’ve had my share of issues with cars and dealerships but his takes the cake. Hope everything works out for him.

I understand how he feels. I have been fighting with General motors on my express 2500 Van. Since it had 7600 miles on it, I have the 8L90 transmission, which has been a nightmare. The valve bodies have been replaced. The transmission control module has been replaced each of those twice.They even put a new transmission in or so they told me. After the new transmission drove it about ten thousand miles and the same hard downshifting started to come into play. I took mine to a Maryland dealership. Many times Koons Chevrolet in White Marsh. Finally, after they had done all the above mentioned work and put a new transmission in. They said there was nothing else they could do. But the vehicle is still at this writing under warranty, so they said, don't worry about it. My question to them and to GM was, what good is a warranty if you can't repair the vehicle.
Koons Chevrolet has even gone so far as to tell GM and myself that they will no longer service my vehicle with anything that has to do with the transmission. I was told that's as good as it's going to get Period! when you slow down, come to a stop, it shifts with a hard thud...it's as if somebody's bumping you from behind like it has from day 1. 2 Valve Body's 2 TCM's 4 reprogramming and a new transmission 8L90 and still having the same problem.

I am a retired dealer mechanic, after working for them for 45yrs. I am sae master tech / cct certified. I believe they should have given him the option to repair or replace the truck and no matter what he should have given him a rental free .
