Angry Well I Got The Golden Ticket...

well i got the letter in the mail that states this...."this notice is sent to inform you that gm is conducting a voluntary emission recall that includes your vehicle....."


i dont know if i really want to go in i mean i havent had the problem but i dont want to get the problem...

the problem being " bad injectors" and the last thing i want is somebody other then me touching my car.. and i have had cases where the dealer touches my car and all hell breaks loose

anybody else get the letter in the mail?

Why wouldn't you go?

You get your injectors replaced for free so you dont have issues later..

You'd be stupid not to go

Think of it this way, either it gets done right by a trained tech.

Or you take the chances of doing it and f**king it up bad....

I'll go with taking it to the dealer.

I go to my dealer once month! The service advisor and the mechanic that gets my jobs are always the same two people, and they are tuners themselves. They love getting to work on my car.

I would actually argue they are idiots. If they're GM "Master Techs" then they're certified in all 8 ASE tests, not to mention all the GM online training.

This is what I hate seeing as myself am a GM Tech. We get **** for things that are usually not our fault. If we don't fix a problem right the first time yes it can be an annoyance but seeing as its a new model you have to expect that.

Being a GM Tech. isn't as easy as you may think, we don't just swap parts. Theres a lot of in depth troubleshooting and what not that goes on and your car has soooo many components that can effect each other.

i do agree with you on that note but.. these guys have a really bad service department... the car sales man i bought my car though even admitted to that.. he said that they are in a " rebuilding are rep state because of how are service department has handled customers in the past.." they where a smaller dealer i plan on going to a bigger dealer when i do go..

You probly see them as a bad Service Department because the people you interact with are either the Service Writers or Service Manager, all of which half the time dont give a crap and will say anything they can think of, especially if they don't know what the Tech. did.

At least the fuel rail and injectors are easy to access as they are sitting there in front of you when you open the hood. It's not like they have to dig around and remove all sorts of components. When the mechanic is done with your car give it good "once-over" to satisfy yourself it was done right and go on your merry Cobalt way.....
