So as some of you know, my car had some issues recently. Clutch engagement went to the floorboard and shifting became really difficult. I inspected everything; no leaks of any kind. I decided to bleed my clutch to see if that would help.

It did help...... for 5 minutes. Lol. I came to a conclusion that either the slave cylinder or clutch master took a poop.

I took my car to the dealer, they agree and warranty a clutch master and slave cylinder. Problem. Solved? No. Upon further investigation they noticed my brake fluid had grey stuff in it. So they replaced the resivuor and flushed the system.... nada.

Finally, the dealership calls GM and apparently the pressure plate on some LNF's tend to malfunction. As a result I get a new clutch under warranty, right before I plan to do a turbo swap. Im pretty happy.

This whole issue started with me having trouble shifting. I started missing NLS into 4th and eventually 3rd. I had no grinding, it just kept locking me out. If anyone has this issue and you're sure its not the clutch master or slave cylinder, your pressure plate took a dump.

Im happy I got all this warrantied. My car has full bolt ons, rotated mounts, straight piped exhaust, suspension, fmic, a badass tune, the works, and the dealership didn't say anything about them.

 

good to hear, subd incase this ever happens to me

 

i glad your dealership stepped up and helped you out
when i read the full bolt ons and still got covered i wanted to scream though
gm doesn't want to fix my car b/c i have a bpv on my car

 

hmm, interesting... subscribed.

 

That's dumb. I also have a forge bpv. U just gotta give em he'll and know the rules. Also I know more about my car than most of the techs there. That helps because they can't bs you.

 

good thing you didn't mention your 1000+ NLS's either haha congrats

 

i let gm win dude its been since august i'm like forget it i'll fix it myself just going to pick my car up friday what a shame

 

You can't blame it on GM it's the dealership.

 

its a little of both i do hold the dealership responsible i mean they attempted to fix the car even ordred a new turbo to only come back to say it must be something wrong with the motor you have a bpv tough luck but in the same breath they are acting as an agent for GM so at some point they should step in i mean over 50 days its a bit much if you ask me

and then dealing with the customer service and the district specialist who all reside on argentina after while i've had enough

i am just glad to hear there are places out here that will actually look a persons car and honor the warranty on the product

 

Fuckn subd, this is good stuff

i had an issue with the dealership too, they tried to void my warranty on my BCM because i had a K&N Intake.....

I called GM Cust Care and 10 min later i got a call from the dealer...ya were going to fix it under warranty u can pick your car up this afternoon lol

WIN!!!!!!

 

My fiance just went through all of this during the summer. His is an 06 and was completely out of warranty so had to do it all himself. Our local dealership said they havent heard of it before but mysteriously the new plate had reinforcement where his broke.. hmmmm. Car was down for 9 days, had to take out the ENTIRE interior but only cost him the price of the part. They definitely dont make it easy to replace one of those bastards that's for damn sure..

 

hahaha chevellegirl thats exactly what i said to a few people in the calgary thread about it. and the only reason the dash has to come apart is to get 1 bolt. thats it, if it wasn't for that 1 bolt you could do it without removing the dash.

i had a friend's cobalt do the same thing, cost him almost $3000 cdn to get it fixed at the dealer because of labour.

 

ya bullshit haha it was retarded

 

i got pictures of it too lol

 

We got a ton of pics- entire interior sitting on the garage floor. Labor will KILL your bank acct in a heartbeat! The dealership said it would be about 1500 in labor to fix the plate- we said eff that real quick. We learned a lot that week tho!

 

lol ya, its because they charge straight time and not flat rate for a repair like that. and its not a quick job. the only reason it didn't cost my friend more then that was because he was my friend and because it was my brother who was the tech working on it. and he capped his hours.

 

ya thats bullshit, **** dealers lol

 

in russia dealers **** you

 

Please post them!!!
