My vehicle has been in the dealer for 10 days because they can not seem to fix the faulty transmission. I owe and operate an engineering firm that has done product design and engineering in the Detroit area for 20 years and am amazed at the inept ability of the dealer to fix this problem. I put my faith in GM and this is how I am repaid by purchasing an inferior product. In addition, the transmission blew just before the 4th of July break when I was going to take my family on an extended road trip vacation. The best the dealer could do is make false promises on fixing a 6 speed transmission that is beyond their capability from both a mechanical and software programming issue. In fact, I can not really blame the dealer to much because they rely on GM engineering to not only provide a quality product but provide direction on warranty fixes. This is the direct disconnect that engineering has with warranty and dealerships. No reason GM filed for bankruptcy and our Automotive Industry is a disaster and show of its former self. I am disappointed in my decision to buy GM and should have purchased a FORD product. Not only is this going to cost me, because GM will not cover all the costs of the rent a car, it cost me valuable time with my family during this tough economic time.

My name is Fred Karam and I live in the Detroit area and recently purchased a new 2009 GMC ACADIA. My vehicle has been in the dealer for 10 days because they can not seem to fix the faulty transmission.

I owe and operate an engineering firm that has done product design and engineering in the Detroit area for 20 years and am amazed at the inept ability of the dealer to fix this problem. I put my faith in GM and this is how I am repaid by purchasing an inferior product.

In addition, the transmission blew just before the 4th of July break when I was going to take my family on an extended road trip vacation. The best the dealer could do is make false promises on fixing a 6 speed transmission that is beyond their capability from both a mechanical and software programming issue.

This is the direct disconnect that engineering has with warranty and dealerships. No reason GM filed for bankruptcy and our Automotive Industry is a disaster and show of its former self.

I am disappointed in my decision to buy GM and should have purchased a FORD product.

Not only is this going to cost me, because GM will not cover all the costs of the rent a car, it cost me valuable time with my family during this tough economic time.

It was already been in for rotten skunk smell from vents, power door locks which will not open, headlights which do not work. ( none of which has been corrected ) Dealer states "it is good to go now" It is good to go see my lawyer to return this $40,000 piece of crap! Dont be a fool, look at the recall list FIRST before you decide on the right ruby slippers to purchase!

Cars that don't park, canning parts of their business... and selling new rubbish like the <a href="http://motoring.sky.com/news/galleries/chevrolet-camaro-ss--first-look.aspx" rel="nofollow">Chevrolet</a> Camaro SS. Who would want to drive something that looks like that? GM have really lost the plot, haven’t they?
