A post I was hoping to not have to make (GM blocks L3 engine warranty repair) - Page 46 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Signed the petition.

I love my car but feel no loyalty to GM anymore. My dealer (Mac Haik in Houston) screwed me out of the car cover I paid $500 for. A lot of these GM dealers suck and GM is no help at all.

And they know good and well a catch can is not going to trash an oil pump.

With two Camaros in the garage and another in the driveway, my next hotrod will be something else. These new Mustangs look pretty cool.

Why would he do that? You think he would buy another GM after what they did to him?

That's the worst dealer in Houston... no surprise here.

It was a joke... And yes since I know him personally, I think he would.

Companies spend a lot of money to improve their brand.

Thinking this decision to slam the door on an obvious C5-fanatic has tarnished their image.

Clowns! But nothing to really laugh at but their poor decision.

Yes the catch can is staying.......consider it a quasi experiment.

Most of us are slaves to the warranty after all.

Yup, modding will commence shortly once other life goals are budgeted.

In my opinion GM still makes some of the best products I would be shopping for. Am I exclusive to GM, not by a long shot, but they will still be shopped. Next GM product I buy will not be modded before the warranty ends, or I will do whatever I want and toss the warranty in the trash.

Read most of the thread and still cant believe what GM and / or the stealership did in your case. Im very glad to see that ur back up and running!

Would be nice to drive up to the dealership and show them that you got the job done.

I wouldn't even give them the satisfaction of giving them the finger.

No shit...i completely agree.

They have to *****foot around trying not to admit fault because of the possibility of class action lawsuits.

If they would have acknowledged this problem with your oil pump versus blaming your snatch can (and other people's), they might have to recall a lot of cars...just my suspicion.

Hey it just a thought.

Since there is no more noise I'm assuming the noise they heard was dry lifters.

Holy Crap... that's all that it was after all this???? Sorry but dealership and GM looks like a bunch of idiots for this disaster.

Glad you got it fixed!!
