  • WTF???!!! More radio problems.

    OK, I'm really getting pissed now. Been through my third radio, still can't get it perfect.

    First radio, the thing refused to turn on. Took it in, gave me a "new radio". Then this new one, spits out CDs and refuse to play until I insert it like 5-6 times. OK, got another new one, like last Friday. OK, now plays properly, but paint chips on the buttons. Three days and the paint chip off? Come on now.

    I don't know what to do. Really. I'm lost.

    Your warranty covers replacement...what they dont tell you is that you get a referbished radio.
    That is the deal that GM has with the radio manufacturer.
    Sooooo you roll the dice.

    You know what I did...then again I was outta warranty.

    Also if it is the main two bottons that you press to turn it on you can get those replaced at the parts counter for like $7. Thats what I did.


    If its the numbers then your screwed.

      It's actually the "Seek Up" button.

      I guess this just fuels me to get the new MP3 AUX radio...

        dumb question, but they won't replace your radio with the new mp3-capable one, will they?

        if not, i would just upgrade

          Tried that, didn't work.

          I might be calling GM Canada Customer Satisfaction later when I have the time. I know it's cosmetic, but it's still frustrating.

              At this point, I'd see if you can get the radio upgrade on the basis of the amount of times you've have to get this issue fixed again and again.

                        I'd make 'em fix it again. I know it's a hassle for you, but what else can they do? I guess you could always ask to speak with someone at GM too.

                          when did you get your radio
                          if it was in the last 12months or 12k miles that should still be warrentied

                          Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post

                            Yup...the part has a seperate warranty from your car if it was replaced.

                              second what Poon just said. . . . only because his advice has been sound thus far and I am seriously selling my house because of the dude (I am. . I swear it. . . pat yourself on the back. . most liberating thing I've done in a while!)

                              But seriously, a warranty, you PAY for it in all honesty. . .use it for what it's worth and take care of the problem. . . and my experience in the past. . if you bitch ENOUGH (takes a while and a lot of persistence) you CAN get what you want. . maybe not an upgraded radio but damn, ask for SOMETHING. . it's like being in an accident. . they're causing a shitload of inconvenience here!!
