My c6Z06 went back via the Lemon law. In the state of CT it went according to lost days. I had three different issues. Total days lost. 183. But I was one of the first to get a Z06. So much of the replacement parts were not easily avail.......

Contacted the BBB, and they gave me a number for a lemon law attorney. I contacted them and faxed all my work orders from the shop, they called me back and started the process with gm to get this resolved. Since I last posted It went back twice for not reconizing the car is in park. They found the problem and replaced the entire shifter assembly. I got it back and drove it to work everythin worked fine. I took the top off after work for the first time hit the on ramp in s mode, and set the cruise to 75. pushed the shifter from S to D and the button and carbon plastic piece blew apart. They both hit the nav unit and out the window they went. Back to the ship she went!!!!!

"Where did you buy the car?"

I'd like to know also.

Some folks on this site are pretty hateful when it comes to "spelling"?
How about helping the man, and answering his questions!

This lemon law process can be a ball breaker... I've been there, And it doesn't always turn out in the consumers favor.

I hope I didn't "misspell" anything!

I'm currently going through the same thing mith my car. However I'm having a repeat of the same problem. I have a Vert and the headliner has been replaced 3 times for tearing. Everyone passes the buck at GM the dealer blames GM, Gm blames the dealer tech. Who loses? Me the guy who bought the car. The service manager even went as far as to tell me that GM wants to hold off replacing the torn headliner (currently in the car) until a factory tech can figure out the problem. The issue with that is he was supposed to make an appointment with me 2 weeks ago. After talking to the customer service rep (again) he decided to file a BBB complaint. I give GM until Monday to contact me regarding the car. Then I'm going to the dealer and let them refuse repair the car under the warranty. In Illinois the lemon law is a little different, hopefully they fix the car or buy it back.

Spell check is great for checking spelling but it doesn't work when someone uses the wrong word but spells it correctly. The proper word/spelling is "advice."

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source
ad·vice /ædˈvaɪs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ad-vahys] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct, etc.: I shall act on your advice.
2. a communication, esp. from a distance, containing information: Advice from abroad informs us that the government has fallen. Recent diplomatic advices have been ominous.
3. an official notification, esp. one pertaining to a business agreement: an overdue advice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Origin: 1250–1300; late ME advise; r. ME avis (with ad- ad- for a- a-5) < OF a vis (taken from the phrase ce m'est a vis that is my impression, it seems to me) < L ad (see ad-) + vīsus (see visage)]


—Synonyms 1. admonition, warning, caution; guidance; urging. Advice, counsel, recommendation, suggestion, persuasion, exhortation refer to opinions urged with more or less force as worthy bases for thought, opinion, conduct, or action. Advice is a practical recommendation as to action or conduct: advice about purchasing land. Counsel is weighty and serious advice, given after careful deliberation: counsel about one's career. Recommendation is weaker than advice and suggests an opinion that may or may not be acted upon: Do you think he'll follow my recommendation? Suggestion implies something more tentative than a recommendation: He did not expect his suggestion to be taken seriously. Persuasion suggests a stronger form of advice, urged at some length with appeals to reason, emotion, self-interest, or ideals: His persuasion changed their minds. Exhortation suggests an intensified persuasion or admonition, often in the form of a discourse or address: an impassioned exhortation. 2. intelligence, word. 3. notice, advisory.

Default Lemon Law.

Well guys good luck on your cases, I hope this goes smooth for everyone going through it. I am going to let my attorney handel it. They have looked over my paper work from the shop, and said I have a great case. The cost is nothing out of my pocket, so they don't like to take on cases that aren't good, that way they get paid by GM.

Thanks to all that offered help, I appreciate it. As far as the spelling goes my brain and my fingers have a conflict with hitting the right keys, and I tend to type to fast, so sometime I hit the wrong keys. After all I'm human, it's bound to happen!!!!

I am in Florida and the car was a 2007 Colbalt SS my son bought back in Feb. WIthin 10 days it was in the shop and stayed there most of the time. We file under the Lemon Law. Pretty simple to do. Eventually GM offered to swap (not exactly identical cars) if we threw in a little cash. We refused. Went to BBB arbitration and GM made an offer we accepted to buy the car back.
