2008 .... rough idle

[Faceplant]

WOW, thats crazy. Were they GM fanboys taking up for GM? Ive never been in a car that idles this rough that wasnt either: 1) OLD or 2) shaking because there was a monster under the hood, not a factory engine. In my opinion its unacceptable unless some one has a great answer as to why. Id love to here what the mechanic/tech guys on the forum have to say and if theres a believable reason?

Im not sure if theres a lot of GM fanboys out there or people just post shit when they shouldnt, but theres seems to be a lot of BS "Its normal" or "clean the injectors and throttle body". Why would you need to clean the injectors and throttle bodys of new or low mileage engines??

Intake manifold gasket issues?

It's the same with the oil consumption issue. Plenty of BS "it's normal" excuses, but no real answer from GM. I hadn't owned a GM product since the early 90's, and now I remember why. This is a $55k SUV that shudders like it has Parkinson at every light. Unacceptable, but it's too late for me to take it back.......

lol they did ban u. thats y u stick to the 90s. mine runs super smooth and no problems besides anything that a truck would have after 8+ years parked in the elements

Watch what you say about GM. They may ban you like the did me..

****...gone again. Thank you!

****...gone again. Thank you!

And I was just going to suggest to him what you did, to write to GM in a proffesional manner without his choice words in order for him to explain the situation and to see if he can get it resolved.

Don't worry, he will be back as ThatSickRipSr.

this was my response...but he disappeared mid type! :

Maybe you should voice to GM instead of putting down people that really have no bearing on a vehicles quality. You probably aren't man enough to do that though are you...

I saw and read that before it had disappeared.

I try not to waste my time on stuff like that, but sometimes I bite THROUGH my tongue!

So people are ok with spending over 40k on a vehicle that runs like crap and just say it's normal? I would be taking it to the dealer to get fixed ASAP

 

[Wakinvol]

Exactly
