[QUOTE="Drive XR7, post: 14990977, member: 43230"] My buddy has a 2012 GCSRT8. He's glad it is still under warranty. There are all kinds of weird things that you have to take into account with these trucks. The front differential and rear differential fluids have different part numbers (thanks Mercedes!). He had a back pressure sensor go bad. Have you ever heard of a back pressure sensor before? He had to take it in for warranty work when the hood started to rust/bubble. Water would run through the hood vents and settle on the bottom side of the hood. It was fixed for him under warranty. It's a really cool truck. But it's a Chrysler. And they are stingy with warranty and dealer service. Beware. Edit: When the Chrysler dealer he took it to did a poor job repairing his hood, he asked the guy point blank, "if this was your truck, would you be happy with this work?" and the manager sheepishly said no. I don't think poor dealer service is a Chrysler problem though, it's a Big 3 problem. When you spend $50k+ on one of their products and they still treat you like you have a Cavalier or a Neon, there is something wrong. Go visit and BMW dealer and they treat you like royalty no matter what year your vehicle is. My buddy was so mad at his experience and all of the problems with his GCSRT8 that he went home and furiously looked for a Trailblazer SS. He said if he's going to spend money to buy a fast SUV, at least with a Chevy he'd expect shitty service. [/QUOTE]
