Default Warranty Work

Sat @ the dealership 2day getting the Hub bearings replaced for the 2nd time since purchasing the car & the throttle body I thought but was told the throttle body is under Universal back order. Can anyone tell me what universal back order is though?....LoL

throttle body??? what went wrong with that??? that's not common...

"universal backorder" ?? or "national backorder" ??

either way, it probably means that NO ONE can get 'em... heh...

It means no normal warehouses have them in stock and they put a **** case in on one. This pulls one from another dealers inventory and ships it to your dealer. If no other dealers have them, then there isnt anything the dealer can do until the warehouses get more stock.

And actually, I put several TB's on in a week...never on a LS4 though.

I was told by the service manager that the TPS sensor was bad so they had to replace the throttle body and the kicker is that this was covered under the factory 100k mi power train......I hear a lot of horror stories with GM service/warranty issues & I've had my fair share as well but I have to give GM Kudos on this 1.
