I purchased a vehicle from a chevrolet dealership, but I am not allowed to take it home. It sits on the dealer lot awaiting a fix for the seatbelt based on a recall. It's been almost a month since the seatbelt recall was announced but neither general motors, nor chevrolet has given any indication of a timeline for the fix, or what the fix will be. The vehicle is currently stationary, parked on the back lot of the chevrolet dealership near my house.
I have attempted to buy a 2016 chevy ss. I contacted my deal on 7-2-16. My deal had to locate a vehicle in the color asked for which they did on 7-7-16, the same day GM issued a recall and stop sale for issues with the seat belt. It's been a month with no work on a fix, no timeline for a fix, or any idea as to when I can take home my brand new car.
Dealer sold me car knowing about the recall but would not deliver. Chevrolet is not providing any status updates since 7/7.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet ss. While reversing the vehicle, the radio screen turned black and there was no picture display for the rear camera. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The latest recall on chevy ss steering racks ( manufacturer recall no. : n192285350) states racks without gold plated contacts are unsafe and gold plated contacts started with model year 2017 production. This indicates all model year 2016 ss sedans need the steering rack recalled and replaced. Mine is not listed on the recall and a GM representative [xxx] only checked the computer and said, 'your VIN is not listed'.
