Warranty Denials are different, and though the burden of proof is on GM, they can deny it until they're blue in the face, until you actually file a claim/pursue legal action.

Yeah and everyone keeps stating the MMWA. It isn't worth the paper it's written on either when it's up to the the customer to lay out his time and money, all while being without transportation, to get the law to make the manufacturer abide. Manufacturers know this. That's why they have no problem telling the customer to stick MMWA up their butt.
My dad had this happen to him in the late 60's with a Ford. It wasn't until he got up early on a Saturday morning, when the dealer was usally busy selling cars, that he parked the pile of crap as to block the show room doors and painted a huge lemon it.
He moved it only when the owner of the dealership personally came down and alllowed him a replacement. We ended up with a black Fairlane fastback that was a great car.
He was a master sergeant in the army and didn't take crap from no one. He's and old man now and still doesn't. Lol
