Same problem as last time. Go to turn OFF the car and it's still running. My wife takes it in and it turns off at the dealership. ****. the service writer says there is nothing i can do since it is working now. so she waits for me to get there . I go to ask the for the service manager and a customer relations person shows up. Mine you this truck is not even a month old. 1500 miles on it. I told her the story and she said she'll be right back. She said lets go for a ride . The problem didn't repeat itself. Back at the dealership, she said you'll have to leave it for a day or so. Fine give me a rental! I get a impala for two days after some serious *****in. I had to call the service writer and he said he thinks he found the problem, It seems that a few others had the same symptoms ( after talking to a GM engineer , he replys) and the relay was bad. Well i got him to admit that the last guy mis diagnoiced the problem when he put in a new ign switch. What Do I do if this happens again? IS the third time a LEMON ?
How do I cover my A_ _ ? Best of all I just got the dealer survey and not sure if they're going to PASS or Fail. One mark not an A and they flunk. $680 a month and its been in the shop 3 times.
Sorry so long but im still pissed.

Rick,
That sucks about the whole experience. I have a 2002 GMC HD that I've had for about a year without any problems. I hate to hear about stories like this I know how expensive the damn things are now that's for sure. Sounds like they are at least trying to make it right? I've had 3 new trucks in the past 5 years and have not had any problems with any of them. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I believe you are correct about the lemon law that you have to have the same problem 3 times in one month before it's officially a "lemon". I'm not sure on the procedure and not sure if it varies between states or not?

Good luck and sorry to hear of the awful experience.

I think it has to be in the shop for 30 day's straight for the same problem before you can put the lemon law on it.

I'm a firm believer that there are "good ones" and "bad ones" when it comes to cars. I think that with this truck, your off to a bad start. On the other hand, I've got a 95 Tahoe with 182,000 miles on it. I've changed the oil every 3500 miles and never had to add oil in between changes. That 5.7 roller motor just keeps on ticking. 50 lbs. of oil pressure at idle and 30lbs. at idle in gear.

I'd give it a chance, but if anything else happens, I'd be going to the owner of the dealership and telling him that you want another truck.

2002 Chevy Avalanche 2500. M32 Transmission had problems and had to go in three or four times before they got it right. Other than that, flawless. Turned out to be a bad one way valve in the tranny pump.
