reimbursement turn around time

To the member in VA who already got their check the from dealer -

I'm curious - how long was the turn around time on your reimbursement?

I have my appointment with the dealership today at 3p. Since I had my ignition cylinder replaced last October at a different dealer, they have to do an inspection.

My key got stuck in the ignition cylinder this afternoon and I couldn't turn my car off. I headed out for the dealership to get them to check it out. It turn out that my VIN was not one that is included in the campaign plus I was told that the free replacement was up to 120,000 miles. I am way passed that. He did give me a break on the price by charging 1 hour labor instead of 2 hours. What can I say, they had me by the key chain!! I now have a new ignition cylinder.

Everyone should make sure if their HHR is included or safe. Last year I had to drive my HHR to the dealer after hours, pull the fuel pump fuse to shut the damn thing off and leave it overnight. I got home from work and the key wouldn't turn off then just plain came out of the ignition and the car wouldn't stop running. That after I just filled up with gas lol. Prevent this situation for yourself and get it done.

Got my letter today. I have a 2009, that I bought new. I have had that happen to me 2 or 3 times. It would finally unlock. The 2003 CTS Caddy I had would do the same thing though. I figured it was a GM thing. Like the gas needle going all over the place.

I will schedule mine for next week tomorrow.
