Replacement z06 Update
I am happy to report that the 25Z purchased, to
replace the 24Z GM purchased back, has been trouble free. I don't even hear the slightest of a tick from the cam caps.
Really pleased and thankful to GM for standing tall and taking care of this customer.
Thanks GM!

Could you detail the experience you had timing wise? What did GM reply with and you said you got upgrades from 2LZ to 3LZ. Did you just add the difference to the loan? What happened to your old loan? Assuming they just reassigned the new vehicle but info would be helpful. I am Day 20 in on Service, replacing camshafts (not caps), and parts just arriving. Have a feeling I will be doing the lemon soon too and I would want replacement not refund.

Glad it worked out. Always good to pocket some money for ones troubles.

its a long process…figure a few months. Also be aware in some states that the timeframe under repair is different. In my state it was 30 BUSINESS days, not calendar days. Saturday counts if the service area is open.

i work at a fortune 50 with an army of attorneys whom I work with daily. I felt confident in approaching GM directly with lemon claim rather than engaging a lemon law attorney. After we reached a deal and signed it, I dropped off car at dealer and picked up refund check.
