The phrases your GM service advisor keeps using — the ones that mean the problem isn't getting fixed.
“Operating as designed.”
— the GM service advisor's favorite
“A lot of trucks do that.”
— the one that's never in writing
“Could not duplicate the issue.”
— after a week in the shop
“We flushed the transmission fluid.”
— the third time
“Goodwill repair — one-time courtesy.”
— after your fourth visit
“We opened a case number for you.”
— from GM Customer Care, then silence
Learn the law
A 30-day pre-suit notice starts a 60-day window for GM to buy back or replace your vehicle — weeks, not 12–24 months of litigation.
