That's not the point, there are plenty of people out there who have had to fight tooth and nail to get perfectly valid warranty claims covered. The DEALERSHIP (why do you keep putting this in caps?) isn't helping the situation by covering this under warranty. The mere fact that warranty support is so different from one dealer to another isn't at all the way it should be. If his issue is a warranty issue it should be one at every dealership, the problem doesn't change between dealers (but the experience will)

Noone in their right mind would say no to this, but when you come online and post about it expect people to voice their opinions.

For the people who actually believe this to somehow not be the drive's fault, how exactly does a car over-rev it's self? Did you perform a downshift at the incorrect time or was the vehicle modified to allow you to rev to 8k?

 

With my car hahahah yeah i wouldnt attempt unless its a recall or a tsb... Ll... And if i **** somthing up i wouldnt warranty it because itll just do it again sorta why ive blown 2 lsds 6 3rd gears in al my trannys.

 

Over revving op is ure fault. Gm comes with a rev of i think 6300 so how would u see it as a mfg defect..........

 

Um I shifted 3rd to 4th the car spiked 28psi and hit 8k. Did nothing different then normal. If it was my fault then it was. I even took it apart to try and fix it myself(cuz I can). Once I called and they said u can bring it in under warranty....then why not? Sorry for trying to save $$$$. Bitch and complain all u please. Just figure I would post a pic of what happened to the car.

 

I have no care of what's going on in here argument wise. I'm just curious on one thing with this post because I just like to know things... I'm weird like that...

When you shifted 3-4 and you say it spiked 28psi, then it hit 8k, was the car just accelerating by itself or did the clutch slip badly, or what? Did you floor it to do that or did the ET have a mind of it's own??

 

What's been done to the car mod wise? Replacing parts is one thing, you may want to find out why this occurred otherwise it might just grenade it's self again.

 

You were NLS'ing with a tune?

 

I was accelerating yes. Shifted I was watching my PSI and I saw it hit then I heard it rev hard looked it was at 8k.

Mods are
Intake
Hardpipes
Catless downpipe
Tune

 

I have yes but not at that moment

 

Does it always spike like that? If your map sensors are going out boost can fluctuate rather dramatically from what I understand.

I don't care that you are warrantying it thats not a big deal... I would just rather pull the motor apart (in this case valve train) one time and have it be done... they are no doubt replacing it with stock parts that WILL break under the same circumstance again... why not just go for something stronger? Thats all I'm saying. Warranty for me isn't an issue... I wouldn't even call... I would replace it with something better and stronger, capable of holding more power. If it breaks again it could be worse the next time and lead to more damage. But that is just me...

In my opinion if you are keeping a car stock then fine warranty it... but if you are not then make the things that break stronger cuz you are pushing it beyond the intended engineering that GM accounted for... simple logic, but it seems to escape people sometimes... This is literally the first car I have had with a warranty... My old 55 chevy didn't have one and everything that broke got replaced with the strongest stuff I could find.

 

hope your e brake fails on a hill by a lake

 

DUUUDE... Harsh!

Uncalled for discount!

Do they even make stronger rockers for the LNF or LSJ?

 

Sry to disappoint u but I live in west Texas....no hills. Try again....maybe like get hit by a train, car catches fire, t-boned by a semi!

 

Little babies talking about warranty and passing the buck? Grow the **** up. You buy a new car to get warranty, you modify it, it blows up. Its their call to warranty it. End of discussion. You think hes doing something wrong? Stop being a fatty.

I blew up my civic engine, and Honda replaced/rebuilt it for me (it was modified).. and the car was out of warranty...


OMG OMG WARRENTY FRAUD OMG... idiots.

 

When GM denies you a legit warranty claim then come back here with your huge E-***** all shriveled up.

 

there are some absurd comments going on in here...
especially the guy from "saskaton"



good for the lulz I guess...

 

What's funny is 90% of u complaining are modded too......so come at me again about warranty? U go to a dealership too and ask for you aren't u doing the same thing?

 

(90% was not meant to be a factual statement)

the true # is 3%.



pleeeease tell me someone gets the political reference.

 

So you money shifted from 3rd into 2nd gear and you're asking GM to cover it. Way to shift.

 

Everyone in here is being extremely hypocritical. I guarantee the same people getting pissed for GM warranting it would run right up to the dealer if they blow a motor, tranny, etc. Its easy to get mad at people for doing it, but when it happens to you its different. People get screwed all the time at dealers, so it's like returning the favor really.

 

Lol no it was 3rd to 4th there hero.


Got a call back from the dealership. The can't read the PCM at this point. Not sure what the deal is but sounds like maybe it's fried. If this is the case then that would explain the major **** up and why it went as far as it did.

 

I can't say I haven't missed a shift and ran my engine upwards of 8500 rpm.

I don't know how something bad didn't happen!?

 

You are confused. You money shifted it. If you are off the clutch, and the motor zinged to 8500 and hit a ton of boost, it's because you shifted into 2nd. Are you seriously dumb enough to argue against this? It is not possible for you to shift up and have the RPM go up. The boost spike is the 2nd piece of evidence. Tremendous load of downshifting at too high of speed will generate a boost spike.

 

Really? I was driving and I know the difference between 4th and 2nd. If you would read my post about them calling and saying the PCM is bad would give u the hint that something fucked up bad. I understand u might be John force but i know how to drive and know what happened. U r correct tho at that speed and going into the wrong gear would cause the same issue. When the car did this then shut off and I had to limp it home.
