Hi,

It has been a couple of days since I contacted you. By any chance have you been contacted by GM or the dealer? I don't mean to be a pain, but I want to make sure you are being taken care of.

Well now, I feel I'm getting the run around GM called this afternoon saying oh there is no ETA on part yet will give me update next Monday.
Now they sent me papers on payment reimbursement if I'm making monthly payments or if I paid for car in full said will reimburse me while I'm waiting so we will see.

Hi,

Hang in there. If you don't hear from them by the end of the day tomorrow, I would call Thursday and see if they have an update for you. Tell them you didn't buy a new car so it can sit. LOL

Let me know.

I spoke with GM today, still waiting on fuel pump, they have no idea how long this is going to take. I'm seriously upset it's going on for 6 weeks now.

Hi,

Wow, I can't believe this. Have you tried to contact GM again? If they can't get the pump, they need to provide a loaner vehicle.

Let me know.

They have given me a choice of a loaner or my monthly car payment. They keep saying that there is parts shortage but not giving me any more details. I have been calling around to mechanics but no one is getting back to me
This is not worth the headache.

Hi,

Okay, at least you have something to drive or are saving the payment. I am going to ask the site owner if he has any contacts at GM that may be helpful.

I'll let you know if he has an idea.

Anthony, I'm sorry but I have hit all my contacts and none of them have a resolve. The best thing to do is to keep bothering customer relations.

Keep me in the loop.

GM said they will call in a couple of days with an update on the part so still nothing.
i have a question, my NY state inspection is up this month. Now, here in NY cars are less than 2 model years old i only need to do safety inspection no emissions. Do you think i can go and get this done pass the safety inspection cause I'm at risk of getting ticketed for an expired inspection. thanks

Hi,

I'm in PA and a safety inspection wouldn't involve what you are dealing with. The check engine light would fail it for emissions, but that's it. We do have to test drive the vehicle. If it is stalling and can put the driver in danger, I fail them but other than that, as long as everything is within the state's requirements, it would pass.

Let me know how you make out.

So, GM called me yesterday saying my part was delivered to the dealer on Friday. I called the dealer service this morning and the rep said he will call me back three hours later, nothing. I called again and got a different reply saying my rep stepped out have him call me no one has returned my call. I keep calling it's getting nowhere will try tomorrow.

It's good news that it was delivered. Let me know if they call you.

Hi,

I'm glad to hear they have it. As far as time goes, if it is the pump in the fuel tank, the flat rate is 4.6 hours. You may want to find something to do. Once you add in a lunch break, you will likely be there all day.

Regardless, let me know how things turn out for you.

Take care,

Hi,

I completely understand your frustrations. However, I don't know what is happening there. Maybe someone is truly sick, or they don't have the help needed. I know it is nearly impossible to get good help right now. No one wants to work. I'm nearly losing my mind with help. If you get someone, they usually can't tie their own shoes. LOL

Hang in there. I will keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Let me know.
