Just trying to get my story out

my friend that owns streetcar takeover got me in contact with Jamie Meyer which is head of GM performance parts and I emailed him and never heard anything back. I also threw a YouTube her friend got the cell phone number for the head of GM quality control Corvettes and for a second he acted like cared. But then he told me that is what dealerships are for to repair what comes out of the factory wrong. I think this car has far too many problems with it for the factory to send out. My detail guy removed orange paint on top of clear coat that revealed a huge group of fish eyes where someones hand or thumb was. This was a cover-up. this was a cover-up Attempt.

If you can't get your dealer to do the right thing(s) with the car, for whatever reason and you want to "spend more money" on attorney's fees, go ahead. But, you will not be able to put that on Museum grounds----they own it, they can tow you off and keep you off.
As to attorney(s) turning you down, it sounds like you have no case. When did you first receive the car and how many miles does it have on it?

They told me that every vendor from windshield forward would have to be repainted and blended into the doors. I get it that cars have problems but refusing to give me my money back hits me the wrong way.

Melting Slicks
The issues you have can be fixed but what scares me is the blending work on panels - not to add salt to the wound but not knowing where all the paint issues are that could be a good part of your car needing paint and sometimes blending is not the best way to go about it without seeing it in person - pics above to small - blending in the middle of a panel is not advisable unless they really know their stuff

As shown above, if the car has been out of commission in the dealers shop for 30 business days, find another lawyer as its pretty cut and dried case.

EXACTLY why I'll NEVER spend more than the price of a base Stingray for any GM vehicle.
TOTALLY absurd!
(upon reflection maybe it's the one wrecked by the GM VP at the Detroit GP. Might be a collector piece... some day and won't have many miles,
apparently)

You are telling your story, somewhat ineptly, on a public forum. We are not required to agree with you. We cannot solve your problem. We are not your co-dependents. What you CAN do is use the points we make to refine your story and make it better and more believable. Your choice.

Well, I guess we can surmise two things from your most recent post:
- You didn't inspect the car when you picked it up.
- You don't want a lemon law refund or a new car, you want to keep the car, have them repair it, and get $50k back.

You also have the option of going the BBB route since you followed step one and two from the customer satisfaction procedure in the manual.
Small excerpt from owners manual.
if you continue to remain unsatisfied
after following the procedure
outlined in Steps One and Two, you
can file with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB) Auto LineŽ Program
to enforce your rights.

out-of-court program administered

Just don't understand.
50k or 150k GM will always be GM. To expect anything else is foolish. Noises, cracking windshields, Warble Noise,,Torque Converter defective, Poor paint quality.Radio display craping out. The list goes on and on. How anyone could defend them is rediculous. the last great cars from GM were in the 60s.When you buy a GM car you should not be supried at anything.

The car has been messed up for five months. This time the car has been in the shop for almost one month. The first time I took it to the shop was because the air conditioning did not work and they told me they had to pull the dash so I took my car back because they said it could take up to 2 1/2 weeks and I had a track day in three days already paid for. I put it on the track and within two or three laps the suspension started popping and clunking . I put it on the trailer and the car sat in my shop for two months while I argued with GM wanting my money back or a replacement but then a lemon law attorney told me that I am better off taking the car into the shop and letting them try to fix it that way I have a case. Its been in the shop for almost a month And they still havent fixed the suspension. Cant even get to the air conditioning problem until they get the suspension prob fixed. All its doing is helping my case. I was planning on buying the mid engine ZR1 next but not anymore. Im going to fight for my money back and get me a 720s.
