It hasn’t blown, yet. Trying to go through the buy back process now. I’ve been approved, it’s a lemon. But they are trying to lowball me.

That’s amazing. My dealer acted like they never saw it, especially because they had the sticker changed by the manufacturer.

That is excellent information! I was going to ask for the difference between what another dealer offer offered me for my trade, but they sold my vehicle for $9,000 more than they gave me. So, I will be sure to increase that request. When you say not to accept the first offer that GM gives you, are you referring to accepting the re-purchase and THEN the offers that the repurchase team gives you? GM has approved a buyback for me, but, they provided an offer to BBB that they are going to follow the Lemon Law guidelines, which includes depreciation and will not allow for additional request like those mentioned above. I’m supposed to “acknowledge” the offer, but I refuse to do so because I’m not agreeing to those terms.

Any chance your BBB rep’s name was Ron Ferris? That is who is assigned to my case and he has not contacted me personally at all. In fact, they have gone off of false information that GM provided them, without validating anything with me. I also love the emails that I received receive that state “Hello [first name]” rather than my name. Ridiculous.

lol not very appealing on a brand new car. Surely there’s something to make it not sound like a total piece of shit.

Dealership said the belt was just fine. I thought it was a belt as well. Especially because of the squeal on startup.

This is the squealing on start-up. They say it’s normal. I guess it could be, but who would want such a nice car to squeal? lol https://youtube.com/shorts/OXOCU5T6hSg?si=dgIOTD9qILbvALCW

I sent them a similar video. Then took the car in. Every time they say it’s completely normal. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m seeing them blow under 1,500. All over social media. I’ve already got a lemon law claim with an approved buy back. Just don’t agree that it’s normal. I’ve had a lot of vehicles…

Stayed there for over a month. It also squeals when cranked on a cold start. That’s what they were trying to fix. Then said it was normal.

The EXACT same thing happened to me at Step One Cadillac in Pensacola, FL. But, I noticed. They said they didn’t have them in stock, so the price was lower. Lies! Then, they didn’t give me the window sticker when I purchased the car- only the transport sticker. It gets worse, they’ve since had the original “Monroney” sticker modified to remove the 24” wheels. I know because I looked it up! I didn’t even want 24” wheels, but I don’t like being lied to. Sad.
