    Software Update

    @WalleyeMikeIII appreciate the context on why no OTA at this time. @apex944 details on the updates are in the App if you check your vehicle status. Looks like one is for the Serial Data Gateway (as Walleye shared above) and another is for Failed Brake Fluid Leak Detection. I would suspect...

    Software Update

    Got an email from Chevy this morning advising my Tahoe is due for an update and I need to bring it into the dealer to do this. Two q's: 1. I assumed this'd get pushed remotely and I can do it anywhere...why do I need to go to the dealer for this? 2. Anybody know what's in this update? Thanks...

    A couple of the scratches below the glass are pretty minor; the scratches above the glass look like the tool slipped and just gouged out sections of the paint (almost like the tool was spinning based on how the scratches are circular). Def below clear coat and messed up the black plastic trim...

    Update: dropped car for warranty work but, after meeting with the tech doing the work, decided against many of the fixes as being too invasive and/or parts looked no better than the ones being replaced. For instance, decided against swapping out the dashboard as tech was worried about possibly...

    What's my recourse regarding some from-the-factory paint issues on my month-old truck?

    Talk to the dealer and have them tell you what your options are. I had a list of items that I wasn't happy with and took it mine to my local dealer; they sent most of them back to Chevy who approved fixes under warranty although I'm still waiting on parts and for the work to be done. One thing...

    Update: Had appointment with local dealer yesterday and they submitted my complaints to Chevy and all were approved with replacement parts ordered. Not submitted: 1. Tow hook scuffs 2. Paint imperfection on hood (too tiny to even really see) 3. Irregular weld in driver door frame (really...

    Plastic I get and I've got young kid(s) so fully expect it going forward but the air bubble is bad...looks fine unless truck is sitting in sun then it looks like a big bird shit. I've got an appointment at local dealer for late this week to take in and have them and inspect...we'll see what...

    It's definitely factory tint as this truck was delivered to the dealer and I picked it up on arrival.

    Another day, another few quality issues. First two pics are the tint issue/air bubble on rear passenger window I described in an earlier post. 2nd set of pics is the dashboard on passenger side...air bags?

    @StephenPT I'll take a look at the glass there, good catch. It might just be a reflection of something so will need to go look. I did wipe down the interior windows on all the doors yesterday and caught another issue; on the smaller window of the rear passenger door it looks like there's a...

    Here are some more pics of the other things I mentioned in my original post: 1. First pic is irregular weld and if you look closely at the seal you can see that it varies in width as it follows door frame. 2. Second pic is lining/seal as it meets plastic on top of driver door 3. Third pic is...

    @WalleyeMikeIII thanks for the heads up on the hooks; I do think I'll wait a bit to see if these are prone to damage from regular driving before swapping them however I do like the idea of asking the dealer to do it if I buy from them. On the window trim, it's tough to see what can be done as...

    I'm not sure if I feel better hearing about others having similar issues or worse since I know how annoyed I am and don't wish that for others ;) Here are a few pics showing the tow hooks and the bump on the rear window lining.

    I picked this thing up in another state and drove it home. I probably should have done a full inspection on-site but I wouldn't have noticed or caught most of these things...to anybody else the car looks immaculate. My other concern is they are certainly not deal breakers for my purchase so...

    Ok, I finally got my hands on a brand new Z71 (2023) earlier this month after searching since Feb 2022! That being said, I am bit OCD and there are some things in the build quality that I find annoying...am I being unreasonable or is this the case with all cars? 1. Rubber seal when I lift...

    Extended Warranty?

    I agree with what you're saying as far as why buy the dupe coverage and only buy from manufacturer. In this scenario, Geico is likely more financially sound than even GM :) and I think the other argument folks make is that the cost of the coverage at the end of the standard warranty is...

    Extended Warranty?

    @DuraYuk yes, all covered as they have moving/mechanical parts. There are 9 large systems (Engine, Steering, Air Conditioning, Transmission, Cooling, Brakes, Drive Axle, Suspension, Electrical) that describe the coverage and I'm also attaching a screenshot of the endorsement that Geico provided...

    Extended Warranty?

    Talked to Geico and they basically said the warranty is "mechanical" so it has to have some type of moving part or affect drivability. For instance, defective stitching on the seats wouldn't be covered nor would the GM logo light reflected on the ground that fogs up...but pretty much anything...

    Extended Warranty?

    Does anyone have experience in the difference between geico's mechanical breakdown insurance (MBI) vs. extended warranty? I will call geico this week to ask but the descriptions online call out it's the same as the factory warranty...much cheaper tho.

    Extended Warranty?

    @DuraYuk Good tip about getting an inspection towards the end of coverage. @Mean_Green For me, I chose 96mo/80k cause I'll likely put 5k on this car a year if not less...bought it more as an expensive baby mobile for family trips where packing into the IS250 is too tight. For parts...

    Extended Warranty?

    Out of curiosity, has anyone looked at the coverage for mechanical breakdown thru their car insurance company such as Geico? The description says it covers more than factory warranty (however not sure if that's as comprehensive as platinum plan) and is priced very competitively even with the...
