#3792 of 3823 Re: HVAC problems. [e2helper] by 3745 Oct 06, 2006 (10:55 am)
Replying to: e2helper (Oct 03, 2006 9:17 am) Well, today the heating of my car started to work again. That's after it was at the dealer who diagnosed a faulty actuator motor which he did not have on hand but back ordered it. The motor will be in next week.   Even though it is working again I will be taking it in to have the actuator replaced. I just hope the diagnosis is correct and it is the motor. I hate these problems that come and go. There will still be a question mark about it when I get the car back with the new motor. The dealer has been very good so far and I was happy with the steering column replacement and setup. I didn't even buy the car from him.
#3793 of 3823 what you should know about MAJORGUARD by kurtamaxxxguy Oct 07, 2006 (10:12 am)
Some general info on MAJORGUARD which I did not know until this week - all very nasty surprises:   Majorguard classifies repairs into green, yellow, and red-flagged groups. Any repair in the red flagged group will __not__ be repaired by the participating dealer until they have been visited by a "majorguard adjuster". This majorguard adjuster is __not__ immediately available. The dealer has to wait 24 to 48 hours before they show up at all, and the adjusters do __not__ tell the dealer when they will actually be there. You also have to leave your car at the dealer for the adjuster to review.   What I am trying to say is if your MAJORGUARD covered car breaks down and the warrented repair is on the long "red list", you could be stranded for __several days__.   Buyer Beware !!!

#3797 of 3823 another idea to consider by kurtamaxxxguy Oct 08, 2006 (10:10 am)
...is to use double sided industrial tape from 3M on the lower frame the lights rest on. A small 1/3" square placed on the frame should provide more than enough adhesion to keep the lights from jiggling.   Rubber grommet idea sounds good. Although I don't have jiggling light issue, may add those as well later this year. Replies to this message: tired_old_dave (Oct 08, 2006 12:06 pm) maxx4me (Oct 08, 2006 3:04 pm)

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Oct 08, 2006 10:10 am) Thanks for the tip. Still have warranty. Thought I asked e2helper a long time ago about this but may be wrong. What is the GM fix. What have some dealerships done. TSB.   Checked the grommets again and found that I needed to go oversize from the dimensions as first posted. Bought #881256 (13/16OD 1/2ID) for the main two and #881254 for the single side pin. And pulled up on the tabs again-is someone resting their bodies on the headlights.   I think I better just keep driving and reading here until I have something that really needs to be shared. Thanks.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Oct 08, 2006 10:10 am) kurt: I'm assuming you put the tape on the back end (engine side) of the lower side of the headlight housing? I think the real weak link is the front end of the light (facing traffic) since there are no places to anchor the light. Any ideas of keeping the front side of the headlight housing from bouncing up and down?

#3801 of 3823 the gift that keeps on giving... by kurtamaxxxguy Oct 09, 2006 (9:18 pm)
Replying to: pao (Oct 09, 2006 10:33 am) Well, today the "adjuster" appeared unannounced at the dealer today where I had left the car for the third time, and around 4 pm adjuster "approved" my repairs, telling the technician to began taking the car apart...   ..without telling me.   I got a call at 4:30 telling me the car was now driveable and I had better think of getting a rental. They of course did not offer one. Fortunately my boss was considerate in my having to leave on short notice to snag a rental car before the places I could get to closed. I got the rental..a Dodge Neon. It's transportation..and dat's all.   If this is Chevy's idea of superior service, they are doing an excellent job... of selling me a Toyota.
