The Chevy Tech said the EGR is bad in my 2017 Chevy Volt. It was kind of a strange deal the Volt was getting a little hot (240*, coolant is rated at 265*) driving on engine/generator. Then it went into limp mode and the computer didn't allow me charge the battery. I didn't want to take any chances with overheating the engine/generator so I had it towed to the dealer.
Chevy says the part is on backorder and the dealer has had my Volt for about a month now. I am currently driving a Chevy Equinox from Enterprise Rent-A-Car that Chevy is supposed to reimburse me for since the EGR is under warranty. Sidebar: The Enterprise Manager said he had a person that had a Bolt (with a B), rent a car while Chevy was replacing the Bolt's battery due to a recall. Chevy paid a $20,000 rental fee because they had the owners car for almost a year.
Today, I got a call from the GM California Engagement Center (they call me every week to update me about the part). They said that they were going to offer me to Replace or Repurchase my Volt. They said that I could continue to wait for the part if I wasn't interested in their offers. Has anyone gone through this before (looks like the repurchase is a lemon law formula)?
REPLACEMENT:
To the extent your vehicle is still in your possession and available to return to General Motors, you may
elect to have General Motors replace the subject vehicle with a new motor vehicle that is substantially
identical to your vehicle. If you elect a replacement vehicle, General Motors will work with you to place
you in a comparable vehicle. General Motors will pay for any sales tax, license fees, registration fees, and
other official fees you are obligated to pay in connection with the replacement. If your vehicle is subject
to a lien, you will be responsible for working with your lender to substitute the replacement vehicle as
collateral into your existing loan, otherwise you will be responsible for securing financing for the
replacement vehicle. General Motors will also pay incidental damages actually incurred by you, as
permitted by law and subject to verification.
REPURCHASE:
Alternatively, if you elect to have General Motors repurchase your vehicle, General Motors will refund
the actual price paid or payable by the buyer, including any charges for transportation and manufacturer-
installed options, but excluding nonmanufacturer items installed by a dealer or the buyer, and including
any collateral charges such as sales or use tax, license fees, first year’s registration fees, and other official
fees, less usage, if applicable (see below). The proposed refund may also include recoverable incidental
damages actually incurred by you, as permitted by law and subject to verification.
You will be responsible for delivery of a clear title, free of lien, to General Motors. If a lending
institution holds the title to your vehicle, you will be required to provide General Motors a notarized and
signed Power(s) of Attorney. You will be responsible for any damage charges beyond normal wear &
tear upon turn in of the subject vehicle.
Whether you elect a replacement or repurchase, General Motors is entitled to a usage offset for your use
of the vehicle. The usage offset is calculated by a formula set by the Song Beverly Act as follows:
Use Deduction =
# of miles driven by the consumer prior to the first
delivery to the manufacturer/dealer for repair of the
nonconformity that led to the repurchase X Purchase Price
Divided
120,000 miles
General Motors will review your repair history and calculate the usage offset on your behalf. The exact
amount of the offset will be included in a more detailed offer once General Motors has received the
documentation required.
