Default Bayed for a week now

My car had TPW 3/10 produced 3/13 as of today still bayed in BG.
Should I be worried? Why is my car still bayed??

Try not to stress. You car is fine and it's waiting for a truck.
Mine was built on 3/12 and sat at the BG playground until 3/18. It arrived a day early at the dealer this morning.
Surviving your TPW week is easy. It's being bayed at BG for a few days that will really drive you nuts.

Where is it headed? Mine was built the same day, and has been bayed ever since. I am thinking that is better than 4D00, which means it is hung up over a quality issue (I think). I chatted with Chevrolet today and they told me mine was on a truck to MI (rail yard there). There it will sit until they load it on a rail car headed for NY. I believe I have seen where the status code bounces around a bit with these start-and-stop shipments. Seems like when the cars get to a distribution center, they go back to 4B00 until they are on their way again....patience, patience ... we will forget all about the anxiety the first time we take them out for a ride....

It's a VERY frustrating process to say the least. GM knows when these cars are being built, so TELL owners the exact day (they have to be queued so they know when they are started--but oh NO GM won't tell you squat).

Also, how can a company as large as GM not have enough transportation to ship the things. Coming back to the point, they know what they are building well in advance, AND where they are going.

I have found Cust Service lacking in answers just adding to the frustration. Why should we have to post here to find out status on a daily basis. PUT IT on a website (and not that joke of a site they currently have).

Okay rant off...

Mine is there too! I was at the dealership and saw it on the computer screen that is had been bayed 3 different times. Hopefully good news tomorrow that all of ours are on different trucks!

Mine was also built last week and has been bayed for a week. Just waiting for it to be trucked to VA. Murphy's law, it will show up next Tuesday just in time for our next N'oreaster...the winter that will never end!
