GM fixes all the issues on my dad's tahoe, they replaced the entire suspension because there was a little squeak lol.
had to replace 2 doors cuz i guess they ran out of part of the paint mix and it was a little lighter than the rest of the car.(i couldn't tell for the life of me)

**Luis_GT** · 10-15-2007, 07:15 PM

never had a GM, only american cars we've had are Fords... Toyotas have been the best for us.

all warranty work requires a bit of

ing to the dealership, it will get done, but it gets done sooner when you know how to talk to people.

I've been as patient as possible, hell, when they returned my car 5 days later with nothing fixed, they told me the rear defroster worked... Instatly I asked how it was tested, and said 2 of the lines work... 2 seconds later, the lady calls the tech and ask how he conducted the test... she got a you

ing dumbass face on when she listened to the tech... lol... they took pics of my rear windshield and tried to get me a replacement window, but they coulnd't get it aporve for a reason... they say there gonna use a repair kit, but so far "we've tried to get it, but we can't find any". BS I say...

threaten with law dude, im sure you know someone who is a lawyer and would happily assist you for no cost(friend, friends parent, relatives, etc.), they will find one really damn quick. they arent holding up to their part of the warranty.

people have told me to call ford HQ. I'm giving them till wednesday, since they told me to call, and I have to go to the dealership for the trunk lock anyways.

**trance565** · 10-15-2007, 07:53 PM

ford hq is nice lol, they took care of my friends air bag system, although they denied any compensation for the original failure

**Zytek_Fan** · 10-15-2007, 08:18 PM

I have a dead 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. What we know at the moment, is that the cylinder head is definitely damaged and a possibility of a warped or cracked engine block. So we get to tear it apart sometime soon.

Ha, if we have to replace the entire engine, I'm gonna try to get a small block Chevy V8 (if it'll fit). If not, a Subaru boxer 4.

**trance565** · 10-15-2007, 08:21 PM

lol LS1 or LS7 that thing hahaha

LS7 is way too expensive.

The only thing logical would be another I4, so there is quite the market for them, just gotta know where to look.

LS1 would be nice though

Pull up to a stop light and start revving it

put a cam and 3.5inch exhaust on it, and just let it idle lol, the ppl 3 cars behind you would feel the vibrations.

True that.. :-p LS7 is bloody production racing class... And boy it sounds nice...

I'm dreaming that they'll put a LS7 in a G8 to spec as a GXP.. ^_^ 500+HP... come here M5!

lol, that would be sweet.

**Stewie007** · 10-21-2007, 12:18 PM

In truth, though.. unless the GXP offers more than just horsepower, I'll be perfectly happy with a GT.

I wanna see leather dash, two tone inserts other than just the seats, fully electronic seats.... And an 8 Speed... but I'd settle for 7. :p Maybe some light tinting, and a few bells and whistles.. :p

Right, that would probably shoot down the idea of it being a lower cost competitor to a Bimmer. It'd be the same price then... LOL

Although the word on the streets is that GM is developing a 7 and/or 8 speed transmission for mass production. ^_^

Mercedes already has a 7spd and Lexus has an 8spd... I dont see the need myself...

**Stewie007** · 10-21-2007, 02:30 PM

7 Speeds and 8 Speeds have been around for a long time. Including it in production cars is the new part.

It is likely that the Corvette, and like cars will get it, along with other high-po oriented cars.

It is irrelevant as to who already uses it.
