Default Sunroof Part 2

Sunroof part 2

Someone does not like me at all. I have not even made the first payment and the truck is back in the shop with the sunroof problem again.

If you recall two weeks ago my sunroof would not close once it reached the vent position. I took it to a local dealership (not the purchasing dealership because it was getting ready to rain). Well it took 5 days to get the sunroof fixed or so I thought it was fixed.

I took the truck on a trip this past weekend I had not opened the sunroof as I did not need something to happen while I was 500+ miles away. So today on my way home from work I decided to be adventuress and open her up. She opened up much faster than the factory one did. At this point I was thinking sweet, I decided to close it to test it out and it went into the vent position and it stopped just as the last one did. I opened it up and tried to close again stuck in the vent position. At this point I am getting very pissed off I was lie WTF did the dealership not try it out before giving it back to me. I would have tried it when I originally picked it up but I could not be w/ out the truck again or the trip was out so I would wait until I get home from Atlanta.

My dealerships service department was closed but I spoke to my salesman who was able to get the service manager to put it in the shop. So the good news is that it's back at the purchasing dealership the bad news is now I am back at square one with this sunroof. I am starting to believe that either Courtesy Chevrolet did not really change any parts or they did not know WTF they were doing. I hope my local dealership will have better luck.

Well the good news is that I got the truck back this morning approx 10am. The 1st dealership I took the truck to Courtesy Chevrolet @ the airport did not hook the sunroof up correctly and they did not test it to make sure it worked.

Holiday Chevrolet fixed it and said if they would have tried to test it they would have found that it was not working correctly.

I picked it up tested the sunroof a dozen times opening and closing all is working well now. I hope this is the end and I can enjoy the truck

The 2nd dealership did not find any thing yet in the system from the 1st dealership for he warranty claim. But did suspect that it could have been the "Hall effect sensors to the controller" In this case they restart the controller and relearn the soft and hard positions. This normally does the trick so this makes be wonder is the 1st dealership tech had absolutely no clue what he was doing.
