They said they brought in a special GM tech from Chicago or something. He's been doing diagnostics on it for the past 2 weeks, the dealership themselves had the car for the 2 weeks prior. It was parts vs motor once the tech had gotten there but beyond that it was their call. I'm just the messenger

Would if I could, GM technician made the call to just replace those parts. I guess if they had found something more significant they would have but still couldn't really find what was causing the problem.

So I'm in a similar situation, just posted in the other thread, where I've taken my car to the dealer probably 4+ times now for an oil burning issue that they can't seem to get resolved. This time it's been in the shop for >30 days. The problem isn't nearly as severe as yours have been but...

My car has currently been in the shop for 30+ days as well due to engine oil problems. They’re replacing the pistons, piston valves, and something else to try and fix it. Also the 4th or so time I’ve taken it to them for this problem. I think I’d qualify for the lemon law deal but I’m on the...

Nope and they know better than to try to link the two. Exhaust sounds great, wish I had the car so I could hear it and not this 4 cylinder loaner I’ve had the past few weeks.

They gotta fix that. Not acceptable in such an expensive luxury vehicle

Going on week 3 at the dealership trying to find out why it’s burning through oil. Yay for me! Engine is apparently out of the car at this point and being taken apart. Good times

Nope

I think it should’ve come stock this way. I drive it in my mode with exhaust maxed 95% of the time and switch to tour so it’s quiet when I pull into the neighborhood. Very different than stock and very loud, lots of pops/burbles. I don’t think I would want it any louder.

My car does this too. I’ve found out that holding onto the shifter seems to dull it. No idea what the connection is as the sound seems to come from the dash somewhere but it’s starting to get on my nerves too

For going on the past year now I've been getting low engine oil warnings on the car. I've taken it to the dealership, thankfully still under warranty, probably 5 times now for this. The first few times they checked and said there was nothing wrong and just did oil changes on the car. Somewhere...

I’m gonna be honest I’m strongly considering trading in my 5BW for a cybertruck. I could care less about the hype, I just actually like the looks and miss the space and utility of a truck/SUV which I haven’t had since my 4Runner in 2006. The fact that it would be faster and AWD are bonuses. I...

Is there any way to see the events put on by the Texas chapter? Never heard about it discussed on here, I’d be interested in joining. Would have to be closer to Houston than Dallas tho but definitely interested

The reason IMO is I think we have award burnout lol. We’ve been showered with praise for these cars for the past few years winning another top10 award isn’t really garnering as much attention as it should. But it truly is a remarkable achievement.

Kinda defeats the purpose of a sedan, no?
