Thanks everyone, I ordered a spectra condenser online. It should be here today and I am going to attempt to change it myself.
GM is definitely making good money on the job. Customer care offered me 25% off the job but asked that I continued to get my work done at the dealership in return lol. I guess they expect me to wait until the end of summer or even next year to have it fixed. They still wouldn't comment on the special coverage adjustment that specifies my year and model. I'm done with getting my vehicles serviced at the dealership.

I received my condenser today. It’s got quite the bend to it. I assume it’s suppose to be straight,,,, the box is not beat up though?

I heard they are using the new curved refrigerant which helps the flux capacitor stay cooler. Lol

Ahhh I see. Makes perfect sense lol
Got it straightened out and installed. Took me 3 hours. Straight forward job, I did use the transmission fittings off the old condenser to make the lines fit tighter as the ones that came on it felt loose. Now to vacuum and recharge it.

they should cover all the condensers not just select vin#'s they all fail prematurely.
