Midlothian to Possession

[kate_t]

oh man! that is absolutely horrible they have continued to give BS week after week after week to you on this. They need to do something to rectify this situation for all of the folks that have been waiting on these chips for months.

EXACTLY! They knew they had 95,000 vehicles waiting on chips, and didn't BOTHER to relay this information to their customers. What a load of crap...seriously. I am just FUMING.

Just spoke with my dealership and I'm now at the dreaded 4D00 MP status; waiting on chips. She said she just got off of a call with GM not long ago, and she said GM has shut down 2 of their plants to get the backlog of trucks retrofitted with their missing chips, and then transported to the dealerships. She said they are moving them by production date, to get to the ones that have been sitting the longest. They plan to have all of their backlog complete by October.

Unreal that I was "reassured" time and time again by the Executive Resolutions team that my Yukon was NOT waiting on chips...unreal. I sort of assumed this to be the case, but to be told repeatedly that this was NOT the hold-up and to only now learn it is...I'm fuming. Sales Manager said I could put in an order for the '23 but the price went up another $3,500 last week...

Smh. Unfreakinbelievable. Just to think when I was ordering with dealer he said 10 to 12 weeks. This was back in Dec 2021.

There is only so many times you can be fed a Water Sandwich before you snap. It’s insane how ambiguous they are and put everything back on the dealer. Dealer clearly told me last week I’m on a chip hold, meanwhile GM cx service keeps regurgitating the same excuse for the past 7 weeks.

Sorry to hear Kate. I was suspicious about the explanation you received while you didn’t have a window sticker but no way to tell what is up and what is down these days. Seems like not having a WS is a good (if not, only) indicator to know if anyones truck is likely affected by this chip hold or not.

My dealer let me order a '23 and I'll be taking whichever gets here first. I'll find out allocation/constraint next week.

Hmmm I can't see GM shutting down production of the 2023s to deal with the backlog of trucks. That would be a 180 from their "build shy" strategy. Then again imagine shipping out 2023 Tahoe and Yukons while 2022 orders are sitting on a GM overflow lot. You will really burn some relationships with customers. Its going to be interesting what happens over the next couple of months. We know it is in GMs interest to get their inventory out; they can't book revenue until they do so.

That is the only advantage we have right now: its all about the stock price and quarterly performance.

They do shut down for (minor) retooling between '22 and '23, so they are probably just saying that to make people feel better. Hopefully during the model year changeover they can focus more on retrofitting our trucks, assuming they have the chips to do so. Maybe some of us will see some movement over the next couple weeks.

Have you re-contacted the Exec Relations team after being given this info...so sorry @kate_t it is crazy how long you have been waiting.
