First my 2008 Colorado doesn"t start on three seperate occasions...no one can figure it out. I just received a letter from GM stating there is a problem w/ the CD player draining the battery.....Do you think? The windshield wipers go on automatically ... whenever. This problem occurs a couple of times a day...and then not for weeks....HELP!!!

Recently my truck did not start. I noticed that the anti theft light was on (that light on the dash board this has a car with a lock over it). I locked and unlocked the doors a few times with the remote control and with the key, and It started the engine. A few days later the light came on again, but this time it was while running. Today I took it to the dealer to check out what was going on. The service guy called me and told me that the problem was that the ignition switch was defective and I dont have any warranty because my truck has 42k miles, and the cost of replacing it was $259.00. I told the guy that a friend of mine had the same problem on the same truck, the only difference was that he had warranty, and I ask him if this was the same problem that some people had, why GM has not issued a recall to fix this problem. He told me that he did not know nothing about any recall. And to make matters worse I had to pay for the re programming of the computer $85.00. I called GM customer service and they told me the same. No bulletins had been issued on this matter. Guys' please encourage everybody to call customer service for every problem you have on your truck, no matter how small it is.

Does any of you had received any extended warranty for any problem?; like the engine one. If you do, please can you post any reference number or any information they gave you so I can use It to call customer service. They say they know nothing about it.

Replying to: donnyr (Jun 27, 2008 2:05 pm) I want to update all of you on my journey thru the GMC debacle and thank each of you for your input and just knowing that there are other people out there with the same "issue" as myself. It was good to know since GMC was telling me I was the only one. The dealership in my town really took an interest in this and resolved it by taking my truck back and replacing it with a new one. I haven't had the truck long, but it's nice to know that I can crank it up and not sound like a diesel starting up. It was a persistent struggle and sticking to my guns, not throwing a fit, but showing a genuine concern about this issue. The people at the dealership were great and bent over backwards to accommodate my issue. It is highly unlikely I will be buying a GM product again since this is my second lemon in the last 5 years. GM is like a bad used car salesman when it comes to problems with a sold vehicle - they don't want to hear it, and they don't want to do anything about it, and treat you as if you're trying to get something for nothing. I have nothing but praise for the dealership personnel at the GMC dealership in Kennesaw, GA. Terrific people and outstanding service, but a sub-par product. Thanks to all of you and my ISSUE hopefully is resolved. I only wish that this dealership had a more superior product because the people are outstanding, and it has been a joy to work this ISSUE out with them. GOOD LUCK! Semper Fi. |
