Any warranty work done on 09s?

Post by mikey123 »

Just wondering if anybody has had to bring in their 09 for warranty work yet? It will be interesting to see what common problems pop up over the next few years (hopefully none - feeling optimistic).

i only went back to the dealer to get 2 center caps after i lost one and had them silicone it in. i was also about to go have them fix a rattle that i have around the driver side air vent area but i just pry opened that trim to look for it while i was driving and found the cause and fixed it myself

I had a little problem on my Vibe in the first week i had it. The problem cause the car didn't start with my foot on the clutch. I go to my dealership and they resolve my problem (they worked on the sensor of the clutch). I'm happy i didn't have this problem anymore.

nothing other than the stupid dealer backing my car into a floor jack requiring body work. then I get it home and find "acid rain" damage on the hood and bumper. It's been a great half year: from GM trying to kill me in my Malibu Maxx....to "I can't even pick up a damn new car without it being ruined by the dealer." God how I hate dealerships.

Had two 17" chrome clad wheels replaced due to cracks in cladding.

" I had a similar story, dealer tried to take out dust rust particles off my rear bumper, but took out the paint while rubbing with some chemicals, he was supposed to be a professional detailer. LOL Dealer repainted bumper under GM warranty after 6 visits of me harassing them and promised to compensate me in September 2008, still waiting for the compensation.

4500 miles since March 29 and no problems yet. Still got my center caps. Had to replace a tire due to poor judgement by the driver and my garage door malfunctioned and came down as I was backing in; took off parts of both antennas; also left a small dent. Going to have to live with it.
