Cant You Just Buy A New Pcm?

 

Somebody is lying to you. Take it to another dealer.

 

the problems started with electical things going bad and then the car's RPM's dropped down to 0 and if i hit the gas it wouldnt move and then i would let go of the pedal and hit it again wouldnt work then push hard and it woud shot up to 5,000 RPM's and then i was driving down the interstate at 10 pm and the car shut off by its self all lights when out to and had to put it in neutral and restart it and they did all the test gm told them to checked all the wires and they cant find it so i brought to another dealer and they did same no luck then brought it were i got the car and they did it to found nothing then i was like im not driving it till u find out why it did what it did and they had a specialist come in to look and the main computer is what he found wrong with it so i dont know what to to its under warranty but if that went bad and all the other electrical things ive had go wrong what should i do i cant trade im upside down to much ?

 

if its under warranty then screw them leave it with them until its fixed and demand a loaner car

 

loaner cars = fun


i got a 2500 HD Duramax as my loaner once, i roasted those tires, took the thing mudding....it was alot of fun.

 

This problem is almost unheard of. PCMs usually dont just short out for no reason. Your dealership should put a new PCM in it, and if it shorts again then they definatly over looked something in the wiring harness. I'm suprised they didnt scan check the car for any DTCs.

 

they have had my car for 1.5 months they said they have tried everything and the pcm was the onlything they could find when starting the car it wasnt sending any codes they tried an up date and then the car wouldnt work at all

 

Call GM's customer service. They might be able to resolve this for you.

 

I'd have been complaining to GM corporate HQ a long time ago.

 

not sure if this is going to help you or not but in england we have a simmilar problem with vectra's the revs drop and the dash board fails all bar a few things theres no lights come up or anything we have worked out that its the alternator over charging it plays havoc with the electrics and eventually causes alot of damage if not sorted out qwickly i bet the dealer hasent even checked the alternator as it doesent bring up any lights or codes.

hopefully that is of some help to you.
