Default Service Active Handling

Have read the posts on SAH and the TSB and was wondering if I brought it into the dealer is this something they'll repair no charge. The car is out of warranty, has a $100 deductible GMPP warranty. Sounds like a design issue or cheap connectors that goes beyond the scope of normal wear and tear that should not be banged for $100.

im not sure that i understandn your question,

wear & tear is not covered under warrantny/gmpp at all, so it would ccost you the entire price of t he job, not $100

i think that electroni issues are covered with GMPP, but just take it to the dealer and ask them.

btw - i h ad a similar issue and it ended up being a faulty gas pedal that they replalcecd... its been fine since.

Nope, I paid the $100 deductible (different warranty company than yours). In a perfect world mfg's would take responsibility for poor design, along with the engineers who fought to have their design used, over that of something similar, better, different, etc... I am around engineers time to time. They are a different breed. They usually don't see past themselves. They see to the point of their nose and that's it. If they came up with it, then it's a solution, not one of many.

Bad experience with Engineers I take it?

I had this code, the dealer performed the TSB and that fixed it up. They replaced the connector which is affected by the telescoping steering wheel.
