GM Recall, Stop driving it

Wait, the recall is only concerning 1/2 tons and we all know 1/2 tons can't tow anything... only grocery get'rs as is frequently said. A loaner car should be perfectly acceptable in this case.

carry on with the normal banter.


It does not appear as GM is trying to hide anything so good on them for being proactive and stepping up to the plate.

:) Hi, and International should give you a brand new Bus, or the price of it when it was brand new, or a loaner set up exactly like yours so you won't be inconvenienced if it ever breaks. Doesn't matter how you used this bus, or how many thousands of miles you put on this bus, you think you should get every penny back for it. :S :S :S

I don't agree with his post but these are all 2016 vehicles not 1980's. So yes the 900 or so owners affected by this should get a loaner vehicle and Dadoffourgirls has already said they will! I'm not sure they should get a like vehicle to tow with as the GM nor the dealership could sell it.

Some of you guys are just flat out nuts if you think they should give you a vehicle to tow with while your vehicle is down.

For a day or so that's fine but if they send you a notice telling you NOT to drive your brand new truck and don't know when they will have replacement parts available then yes they should loan you a truck if that's what you need. If I depend on a truck to haul my tools and or make me money then that's what they should give me. I don't buy a truck just to drive around to the grocery or to commute with.

Being a business owner I always wonder what happened leading up to this - did they catch some rogue employee purposely not welding something? Did they get a bad batch of welding "glue?" How did they first learn of the problem? Maybe a truck just fell apart as it rolled off the assembly line?

And the brand bashers really make me laugh - a disgruntled employee could pee in the milkshake machine at McDonalds just as easy as Burger King.

I agree....Thank You Sir. :)

I agree and although the article did not say so the warranty on my 2013 2500 D/A and 2014 Impala provides a loaner any time it is in the shop over night or if I am inconvenienced. I believe that may be standard with the other manufacturers.

I was at several GM dealers yesterday looking for a new TV for a future trailer purchase. It was a beautiful Saturday and the lots were void of people and rather peaceful. I may be able to use this to my advantage. The 2500's are not affected but they may be desperate to make a sale later this month.

TrueBlue, you vulture!

Just kidding. Good thinking. :B

If I bought a truck I would have reasonable expectation of some sort quality. If the quality is not there and requires fixing, then that's at the manufacturers cost, and YES a loaner vehicle of the same description would be appropriate, NOT a loan car. I don't call that catering.
