Are your parts on order for the Keyless? Chances are good they don't have them in stock if you haven't been there before for this issue.

WTF is wrong with that thing now? You break more **** than the law allows.... Only guys who make a ton of power break stuff constantly, the remainder broke it because of abuse or neglect.

You gotta havea mile long warranty repair list by now bwhahahah!! They probably could have bought the car back with how much they stuck into warranty.

well the only things it has gone in for is
water pump
p/s rack leak, thumping noise in front {typical rack thing on gm's}
tranny squeak, which is still there!. got a new convertor and turbine shaft. now the tranny is slipping. taking off from a stop when cold, the tc slips and the tranny suddenly grabs, when comming out of dod, it spikes. normal, no biggie. when the convertor goes to lock, it slowly comes back down and suddenly shocks itself and locks. something is not right. this is round two on the tranny, for the same thing as before.

Mine does the hard TC lock up or aka short duty cycle when coming off DOD under really light throttle. Are you sure its just no spinning the tires coming off a stop?

IDK i mentioned it this morning when i dropped it off, but i told them if they gotta order parts i want the car back until they are in, that goes for the PS hose too.

All i need is some young punks out beating my car from the dealer....

I cant wait to see if they say anyhting about having no cat and CAI lol

dunno about the no-cat deal, but I've had mine in for service a couple times since I've put in my CAI, and they didn't care... my service advisor just told me to be careful when I go to re-oil the K&N - not to use too much so it won't get sucked in onto the MAF...

See, not every visit to the dealership has to be a nightmare.

Glad you got taken care of BADD!

Well, mine is definitely leaking! The sound came back this afternoon and i needed to fill it up again. Called the dealer and they said they'd need 5 hours to get the PS done, and 3-4 to do the Keyless thing and to address my in-op rear defroster. I'm already borrowing a car the next 3 days to get to a seminar out of town and to get the wife to work, so i cannot afford to be without it for an entire day. Hopefully i can get her in saturday, but that's full (on my sched.) too. Maybe Friday? We'll see.
