Default LTZ vs. DEALER update

Took the LTZ back to the dealer for my Traction Control problems.

They finally pulled a code. Turns out they are replacing the PCM module. I had to leavethe car running when the error happened because it would constantly reset. 3 days to get the PCM though.

They are going to replace the front headlight socket because I have had 6 burnouts in 6 months. They think the fault is there.

They are going to fix my rear truck badges which keep falling off.

When they replaced the steering shaft last month, they left my steering wheel ****-eyed to the right. Awkward when using the wheel-mount radio controls. They agreed to re-align it.

They stillcan't get the doors to rattle. Time to contact GM?

I hope the major problems are finally going to be fixed!

good luck with that. I've had some problems with my Trailblazer. Really just stupid stuff, but it would take multiple trips to get it fixed right. Stupid dealers.

Can't blame the dealers on that. They don't make the defects... that has to go back to the plant quality control. Place accountability where it belongs.

no, but when you take it to the dealers to get fixed multiple times, then I do blame the dealers.

Sorry dude, but I do. I told them that I have already replaced the right like lamp 4 times in 4 months and told me that is was within "GM specs."

The right front lamp housing was completely fogged while the left one was perfectly fine.

Is that a load of dealer crap or what?

Forgot to mention that on the 2nd visit, the dealership found that the seal on the right front lamp assembly was allowing too much moisture in and they are replacing it. Why didn't they attempt to find it on the first visit while the housing was all fogged up inside?
