Got an engine light so I run her over to the dealer she had 421 misfires on cyl, 3 a cracked block 878 miles. What are the odds? Looks like new engine in 3-4 days.
Sincere apologies to read about the check engine light. Although I understand any displeasure in this, it's great that you've proactively reached out to your dealer for an official diagnosis. Feel free to keep us posted on the process if possible, and feel free to message me privately if additional assistance is needed.
Got to run it 3 days to get the dye to show where it's cracked! And gm customEr care I laugh at you guys your no help at all with anything. And gm rep,s there bigger liars! Just my opinion.
Not just your opinion...lol
It must be very disappointing to have this happen. It appears that #8 was not the charm so I'd be thinking about trading it in for #9 myself.
... holly C*#P you just got her... :angry: that should never happen.. never seen this coming.. sorry brother, I'd be so............... :angry: &
Keep us updated.. through the process..
Had her 12 days temp plates had,nt run out yet! I was,nt mad at all it's gm,s bill not mine! My dealer is being very helpful there giving me a 14 Camaro as a loaner. They wanted to give me a crap pile 08 impala! Not, bad engine or not hotrod I still love the Camaro! Would never buy anything but.:thumbsup::5go:
Now envy are you saying others have had rep, customer care problems? Lol real load that is.:lol: oh ya this is 10 not 8 lol, bought 7-7-14 white with black stipes I call her storm. Number 9 had miss matched rims and no top boot cover. The gm rep says no worries we,ll take care of you! No call yet , must be busy. :lol::lol::lol:
Yea.. tho if GM does a V4 or S4.. then that changes every thing.. plus, I do believe most still do ask.. unless its been heavily MODDED
Plus resale.. will show.. the motor being replaced.. because its reported by GM
hotrod I will say this dealership has bent over backwards for me and everyone I send there ! they like repeat customers. when I got the car I wanted some stuff added and painted. they did it free!!
Its good that you got a great dealer.. hope they keep their word, the main thing is that your happy
Tho, if it was me, I'd get the dealer to trade me to another one, just to be on the safe side.. things always happen & at the end.. its best to cover your toosh than hoping someone your not 100% sure will IMO
Its rare but it happens. It has to do with the way they sleeve the blocks.
The old way they would cast the block and bore it out for an interference press-fit steel sleeve. This is ok but as the block heats up the aluminum expands at about twice the rate of the steel so the sleeves would get a little loose.
The way they make these newer HO v6's is that the heat the sleeves up and pour the cast around the sleeve that way when it up to temp the sleeve is still pretty tight to the alum casting...but when it cools down the alum can crack since the alum shrinks twice as fast as the steel sleeve.
...If happens every once and a while, but not very often, but this is a prime example of why they put warranties on new cars.
