The GM Shake
Granted so far it is only a small percentage of trucks but this is what is truly unsettling (note GM replaced his 2014 with a 2016) "After some discussion (with the dealer), the tech said he would call GM and see what they want to do," Seewald said. "They did not write a repair order on the vibration so I requested documentation. Two weeks later I'm still waiting ... no call and no repair order." .
This was the very same thing a Ford dealer was doing to me. They tried to say "we are using the old repair order until we get it fixed". In fact the dealer had closed the old order out and was just not writing any repair orders at all. Thank God the SM assistant called me and told me to make sure anytime the truck comes in they write a new order and get a copy before picking up the truck! The truck turned out to have been wrecked when it was being delivered during a dealer trade.
Some dealers do this to get around most states lemon laws (number of times in the shop clause). They are banking on getting it fixed under the 30 mark. Do the manufactures encourage this, they might.
