The call I got was from MBarra admin assistant that said she received the email and forwarded it to her to take immediate care of. Either way I am happy and grateful.

You're dealer is to blame in this situation. They likely did not continually follow up, create a **** case and then run it up the chain with their rep and brand quality.

I've never had a part take several weeks to get when it's available on the production line. Some dealers don't care enough to take all the steps required and get the right people involved. If the car is under warranty and the part is on back order, GM will typically pull one from production and overnight to the dealer.

This is exactly what happened on my 2016. City Chev in Charlotte,NC did an excellent job when I needed one.
Thanks Rich for the inside info. I worked at a dealership many years ago and most things have changed from my stone age years. Lol

Glad you got the car fixed. I'd find a new dealership though.

Not the dealerships fault, I went through the GM representative and they said there were non available in the nation, finally went up the chain and got one from the factory in Bowling Green dropped shipped to the dealership.
