My car went in today to be seen by the General manager of the car dealership. he said when his GM comes by (2-3 weeks) he'll have the big GM decide if he should do any of the repairs (free or subsidized).
General motors is supposed to call me later today to talk about it. We'll see...

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting on these boards, but read them everyday. I have the same issue with my roof bubbling on my 02 Trans AM and have spoken to maxgee since we live in the same area. Max, I am curious to see what the BBB says about your case because they just denied my claim saying that they cannot arbitrate this do to the age of the car and it is out of the 3/36000 mile warrenty. I gave them the case number the previous person on these boards that got there car fixed thru arbitration but they said that it was because he was in California and they have different laws from Florida which I think is total B.S. Anyways, Keep us posted Max.

Brought my car into GM a month before it went out of warranty. The regional manager said that they would repaid my roof panel however because I am the second owner I have to pay half. This is BS!

FWIW, I am the 2nd owner and my top was approved 100% a few months back via the BBB.

Hey Loyolacub68. I did mention the 6/100,000 mile paint & corrosion warranty and they told me that they can only honor the 3/36,000 mile warrenty. I tried to disagree with her but that is when she told me different states have different laws to arbitrate. I still think it's total b.s. since this is a factory warrenty from GM. I am going to wait to see what they tell Maxgee and then try to go a different route if he gets the same response. I appreciate all the input. I will also try to find the consumer protection laws. Thanks again.

Also, if anyone has had there issue resolved in Florida after the 3/36,000 mile warranty and had to go thru the BBB please reply to this and if possible give case numbers so we, who are still trying to get this fixed, can argue this point with them. Thanks again for all the help.

What evidence do I need to provide to the BBB? GM said it is not a recall so they don’t have to fix it. My car under 6 years from original owners purchase and only has 20K MI. Thanks
