I offered that to them before. I told them to check anything they want, even send the computer out. I don't think they did. They didn't have any proof at the hearing when we asked for it. The GM rep didn't seem to have much automotive knowledge at all. His answer to everything was: I am refering to the power-adder bulletin.

Never lay down and take their Sh*t.

P.S. This is the best thread I have ever read.
I keep checking on this daily to see the progress!
Good Job!
I appreciate the good word. What I'm am doing here is for all of us. It is time to set a precedent for the unjustly way we all have been treated when it comes to our warranty coverage. The manufactures are so quick to take your 50k-60k when you purchase a truck and soon as there is a problem they wash their hands of you.![Mad](/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
I am not giving up and walking away! I know some people are probably tired of hearing about what I am going through but they need to realize this can help all of us in the end.
I have been posting this like a diary to keep everyone updated as to what you have to look foward to if you run into this problem.![Mad](/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
I am lucky to be able to fight the fight! I also appreciate this and the other sites for letting me keep this up on the boards. If General Motors doesn't take me serious, I am prepared to take this all the way up the ladder and turn this into a massive recall. I already have all the information of who and where I need to speak with to get the ball rolling. I have enough proof already to open alot of eyes. With my connections and background in the automotive industry, it will be very easy for me.
Lets just see what they have to say.

Ok, off to the courts we go! We got the letter of denial today. This is the quote from the arbitraitor:
First, I would like to commend the consumer for his extensive, factual and well organized presentation along with the assistance of Mr.Baglieri, who was documented to have been well credentialed to serve as an expert witness.
I found the consumer's testimony to be both compelling and enlightening.
I felt the manufacture's response was not based on objective findings but rather, predicated on third party suppositions not supported in the hearing.
However, the manufacture's request for relief under the jurisdictional limitations of the Better Business Autoline Program is upheld. Manufacture read from the Chevrolet stat sheet, indicating a Gross Vehicle Weight for this vehicle is 11,413 pounds. This testimony was not disputed by the consumer.
Section "C" Part 2 "Jurisdiction of BBB Auto Line", reads in part:
"Disputes must involve a motor vehicle...that(1) is used or bought for use primarily for personal , family or household purposes or (2) has a gross vehicle weight under 10,000 pounds and is bought or used by any person or business to which not more than five vehicles are registered in California.
I requested additional information from the consumer, to see how or if any of these provisions would apply. Based on the information provided and per the vehicle registration, this is a commercial "work" vehicle, not personal and the subject vehicle does, in fact, exceed the 10,000 pound GVW limitation of part 2.
(Note: Additional, unsolicited information provided by both parties, after the fact, was not a consideration in the making of this decision)
I regret that I cannot provide the consumer with an acceptable resolution to this issue but based on the Better Business Autoline regulations, I am forced to declare the subject vehicle "Out Of Jurisdiction" and render a " Denial" Decision.
This is the letter that came today! Well, It's full speed ahead with the courts. I spoke with the attorney today and i've started the ball rolling. Now I am going after all of my lost expenses since my truck has been down. We are still interested in bringing more people with these same problems into the class action with us. Please get ahold of me if you haven't already. This may be your chance at recovering any losses you have already incurred. I will keep all of you updated!!![Big Grin](/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks for all the support!!!!!![Big Grin](/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
