GM is horrible!!!!
GM is horrible!!!! Hey get this ****...i bought a 2009 corvette from the city chevrolet in charlotte about two months ago....i noticed that the dye on the door emergency release from the inside was pealing and the salesman said he would order me another one...so about a week later i notice the same thing on the other release on the other side, then i noticed the die rubbing off where my elbow rest on the driver side door panel...i take it to the local gm dealer in rock hill so he orders me a new door panel and the door release handles(warrany covered) he said it looked like a failed die job...when the door panel came in from gm they were solid ebony black...the ones in my car were two toned...they determined the panels were not the original factory panels that came on my car and they had been removed before that my car didnt come with two tone door panels(they are supposed to be black)He told me i needed to take it to the dealership where i bought the car from for them to fix it..(city chevrolet in charlotte nc) anyways my car has been up there for over a week and they still havnt done anything about it except give me a rental car(gm is doing an investigation. Does anyone know what the hell is up with this!!! i just bought my 3rd vette from them, a brand new 50k vette. I mean i am just mind boggled with why that interior is in my car in the first place i mean the car only had 20 miles on it when i bought it!!! And why are they dicking around about fixing it?? I mean does anyone have any ideas what i should do...All i know is i just bought a brand new vette and i have been trying to get this handles for over a month, its driving me crazy!!!
GM is absolutely ridiculous these days.

yeah man...as much as i have been a gm fanatic...and boy do i love vettes...i might never buy another gm product again...im thinking about picking it up and getting it repaired myself and and be done with them. I just turned 27 years old and thats my 3rd vette....their loss!!!
sorry to hear about the problems from the dealer. These dealers are ******** and don't deserve to be in business. No reason whatsoever for them taking this long. If they can read, they can read the codes on the door and know exactly what interior color the car is. The problem is in order to get stuff you want, you have to call and go there to bitch and complain!!! Good ol' corporate america at its best, f'in bullshit.
I say go there and talk to the service manager, and get pissed. That when they actually help you. Btw make sure other customers are around, the dealers hate bad publicity.

I will buy something out of warranty since there evidently isnt one to begin with!!!
Well even with GM's modern problems, we still have to keep it American!!

so because you are having trouble with an interior panel coloring you are going to swear off GM as a whole?
sound like a spoiled brat to me..
If you want a great powertrain, suspension, and chassis.. buy a vette. If interior panels are your #1 concern, go buy a honda.
Yeah your situation sucks, but you just happened to get the short end of the straw this time... man up and just handle it

Crappy dealer service is one reason GM is in such bad shape. I had a similar experience with my new '87 Buick Grand National. Great car, great salesman, but the service department made me never want to buy from them again. And I haven't.

Go over to a BMW/Mercedes/Nissan board and see what some of those guys have to put up with...and most of them paid WAY MORE than $50k before they got shafted.
All brands have their issues.

Hopefully your dealer will come through for you. We've had some warranty issues with our G8 that we bought in OK. The local dealer service dep't. here has been fantastic to work with. Hopefully you'll get the same level of satisfaction when it's all said and done.
i will never buy an import maybe viper or gini... im not a ******.....my gf has a lexus and they treat her like god when she takes that piece of **** up there...im just posting on the internet for suggestions of what to do...YOU spend 110 thousand dollars at a dealership in less than a year and get jerked and given the runaround and see how you feel...

exactly, the panels and some of the other interior are not the factory parts...i really wonder why in the hell that interior is in it in the first place.. the stock factory black would look way better anyways...The dealership acts like they dont know whats up with the car, but they do....they just dont wanna have to pay for it...dont get me wrong i love chevrolet cars, i just hate general motors at this point. If i wanted to deal with those kinda problems i would have bought a used model and saved 15k. Thats why i bought a new one so i didnt have to worry about any exterior or interior issues, i could get straight to engine mods with nothing else to worry about, quite heartbreaking...

From the VIN number it's very easy to tell what the car had when it came off the line. GM is doing the right thing about performing an investigation. This car could have been flooded and the dealer tried to cover it up. Perhaps the dealership went under and this car was purchased by another dealer....i.e. a long trail of dealers. If you have your original sticker it will tell you where the car was shipped after it came off the assembly line.
Give GM some credit, these things don't happen all the time and expecting to get your car fixed in a week is asking a little too much.
YOU need to call the dealership and speak to the service manager or better yet, visit them in person. Tell them you want the name and number of someone at GM that is working on this issue. I would expect within a minute or two you will get their name and number. Call them and let them know your displeasure. Posting **** like this on a forum gets you nowhere and shows little class...
