Otherwise why buy a brand new car.

Get a lawyer OP. This is in no way your fault.

Please screaming lawyer is the fix. LOL

I dont believe a buyer should have to go over a brand new car with a fine toothed comb.

Sucks to hear that OP, lawyer up

[oldman]

try reasonable, 2nd new car in a few weeks and now one needs a lawyer. Yep that fixes everything.

sure, sounds like the dealer is willing to repaint, you think production cars are not repainted. My dent guys primary business is fixing new cars because of the inevitable snafu. He does about 5 new cars a day. Please this a few weeks, and who knows how big or small this problem is. The guy did not see it when he picked it up right? so it ain't like is some huge problem. I don't get the part about paint warranty, but I don't think the OP is completely upfront with the issue. Once again small repaints are an everyday occurrence. Done correctly there will be no issues warranty or otherwise.

OP post a picture.

Never mind, I saw it looks bad, still don't get the dealer won't warranty the repaint. You better elaborate.

Why is everyone saying he should have inspected the car the average person wouldn't even know what to look for. Bottom line if your buying a 40-50k car brand new from a dealer you shouldn't have to inspect it. Thats the dealers job and they should make this right.

Sorry about this hope you get it worked out, contacting a lawyer isn't such a bad idea.

No I bought a 15 high country duramax last year and it was at the dealership regular and over 5 figures in repairs with only 8k miles on it lost my A#s on trading in on a 16 Camaro and here I am with a not fully painted car and they won't make it right? .
one of my goals is to make sure this doesn't happen to someone else , like others have said , you shouldn't have to go through a brand new vehicle like your buy from a 2bit used car dealer , But everyone should because chevrolet isn't , also isn't standing by the problem with their product and taking care of the customer like they should

It's clear you certainly should inspect the car, and preferably in ideal conditions where you'll be able to clearly see issues.

That said, in a perfect world you wouldn't need to inspect a new car with a fine-tooth comb, that's what quality control at GM is supposed to take care of, and second, your dealership themselves.

There is no doubt many people don't do this, in part likely because they have an expectation that there won't be any real issues with the car by the time it's sitting on the lot waiting for you to drive it away. If you aren't the kind of person who frequents forums like these, you're probably not aware of how bad a new car out of the factory can be, I can say I certainly wasn't prior to reading the threads here in the last months.

Talking to a lawyer isn't going to hurt, they can tell you pretty easily if you have a decent case or not and you'll hopefully know one way or another.

If they will not fix it and deny warranty, they are in breach of implied warranty and can be sued in court for it. Send or call your states attorney general and get them involved.

GM also would have been out of business if not for Government Support, I don't see 50k as a stretch. Should he have said $47,599.03 rounding up is usual

It's your line of thinking that allows for manufacturers to keep charging 50k for supar vehicles and to use the consumer for their own R&D department. Look around the fourm a little. The paint issues on the gen6 cars are very well documented, and this is just one little spec on the internet.

I can't believe how many people don't think 50k is a lot of money these days. If I thought the same way that folks on here do, my buisness would have failed 25 years ago.

Why do people always reference BMW's as the gold standard to compare to anyhow? That is a subpar vehicle that even dumper rich people buy just as a status symbol. Their intial quality for 2015 was only one mark above Chevy, and their dependability is way down the scale only one mark above average which is far lower than Chevy. That just proofs that some folks with money are willing to waste it for a status symbol. If these people liked their money more than how they look to everyone, they woukd hold BMW to a higher standard in exchange for the premium price or not be a buyer. That is the only way this crap will end.

I applaud folks like the OP that know 50k is a lot of money, and it should demand a certain minimum quality that isn't happening with the gen6 car. Keep up the fight OP. Make them make it right.

Dude, You make absolutely Zero sense?
We get it, you've got tons of money into your cars but what the hell does this have to do with the problem? And I dont give a rats ass if its a BMW or Hyundai The manufacturer should step up and take care of their customer!
