I don't actually feel like typing my service history out so I am going to make this breif...
My car has had a rediculous amount of things wrong with it. Repeated issues with the breaks, leaks, no starts, electral, fit and finish etc etc...
Looking over the paper work it looks like i have had 28 SEPERATE repair orders for my car (granted there may be multiple repair orders per service) and well over 25 days (not consecutive) in the shop.
About half way through my ordeal (and some fighting with gm) I was given a Major Gaurd Warrenty to 2011 / 90,500 miles. That seemed like it would be fine.
However, I have had yet more problems since then, and recently my car has been leaking. The dealership refused to do it under my extended warrenty and GM CS backed the dealer, so I bit the bullet and paid $100 for it to be fixed. About two weeks later it started leaking yet again. They came back and said it was going to be ~$400 to get it fixed as it involved replacing the sun-roof etc etc...
At this point I contacted a Lemon Law / break of contract / General Car Lawyer. I gave them a brief idea of my case, and they were interested in looking to pursue it.
I faxed over all of my service history to them, and all addition papers they asked for.
Now the wait beings *fingers crossed*
On the plus side, no matter if I win lose or draw, I will not have to pay a penny! The manufacture ponys up.
The kicker is I am outside of the NJ Lemon Law stature (afaik)
My car was purchased June 05 (More then 2 years old) and has 45,060 Miles.
However, they said there was still alot that can be done.
I will keep this thread updated as I progress.
I DO NOT want to post specific in the thread though, but I will answer via PM.
Does anyone have any related stories to tell or similar experiences, please post, I am interested to see if anyone else has pursued this.
Thanks,
Rich
ive had a lot of problems with my sun roof. have taken it in 3 seperate times over a year. a lot of noise and cracking noises like it was breaking. they scratched up my hood a but which i was pissed about but i buffed it out. this 3rd time i took it in they supposedly replaced the hole frame and track so everything was new but the glass..didnt open when i was getting in my car from the dealership..they couldnt fix it. they were closing told me to leave it there..had no ride so i was gonna bring it back in 4 days cause it was thanksgiving weekend...i took it all apart myself and fixed it..runs like a champ..i guess most of the parts were new..motor and all.just a lot of goopy **** in the tracks..way too much.they didnt even test this **** before getting it back to me...only reason i got it all done under warrenty is because my buddy is a sales manager for that dealership and has been for a while..and the glass was smacking on a metal rail after i got the thing to open..same thing it was doing before..i tweaked it a little so now it opens nice and smooth no noise but the motor obviously...gm dealers suck..i imagine maybe all dealerships suck..this was my first new car i ever got besides my wifes neon..but i have never taken the neon into dealership never so who knows..
