It's very humbling for me to be writing this because I am a very mechanically inclined individual and have worked in the automotive industry for about 10 years in the past as a certified cylinder head and block machinist.
Anyways the Chevrolet dealer called me last month and caught me off guard. I ended up going down and picking out a new 2008 Suburban. They were almost giving them away. I'm not really complaining about the price because I bought it way below dealer invoice plus let GMAC finance it at 0%.
Anyways to make a long story short I discovered some very bad major rust and corrosion going on underneath the vehicle about 2 weeks after I bought it. After seeing how bad this was I suspected the dealer would just give me a new one.
Well guess what, after 2 weeks of dealing with these cocksmokers, no dice. All they want to do is clean it the best they can and undercoat it.
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART I WANT TO PASS ON SO YOU ALL CAN LEARN:
When you buy a new vehicle, all those papers you sign, you waive your legal rights to be able to sue them and have a Jury.
Basically the only way to deal with it is with the Lemon Law. and that does not affect the GM dealer, only GM. The dealer is not liable for shit.
I have owned 10 or 12 new GM trucks and even a ZO6 Vette, never had a single problem. I didn't even think to look under this vehicle when I bought it. REMEMBER IT'S BRAND NEW!
So take my advice. If you buy a new vehicle look it over EVERYWHERE and underneath.
Also remember that you are fucked if you ever want to sue them in a normal courtroom.
Either you sign that waiver or they won't sell you the car.
Look at my new 2008 Suburban:
Corroded and pitted wheels and brake lines:
Frame rusted all over like this:
and this:
transmission oil pan:
look how corroded the aluminum oil pan is:
