2016 Warranty Update

[ojamali]

Hello Forum Mates,

I was at a GM Canada Training this morning where I got the opportunity to inquire about the MY2016 warranty changes.

It turns out that GM Canada issued a statement on this some time back and that in Canada the warranty remains unchanged!

Please see the news article here:

Read Auto News GM Canada won't follow USA in reducing warranty coverage | Autofile.ca

The powertrain warranty in Canada for all Chevrolet, GMC, Buick or Cadillac.

Excellent news....not often Canada gets better than the US in anything!

 

[Rodmo]

Great, thanks for the info!

LOL - I think they meant 60k miles

Glad to see that they're keeping ours at 100k miles. (160k clicks)

That is excellent news for those of us getting 2016 cars. However I don't know how long GM Canada can hold the line on this if the parent company wants to increase profitability at Canadian operations. It is a cost savings in the US so if they squeeze GM Canada hard enough it could be reduced in future years.

A better warranty might just help vehicle sales here in Canada. You know they are not doing it just because they are nice guys. I don't think our local GMC dealer could squeeze another new vehicle onto the lot. It's full and mostly full sized trucks and SUVs. How are 2015 vehicle sales stacking up compared to other years. I haven't seen any figures lately.

GM = recalls/lawsuits & lost market share

 

[Keith Tedford]

We have to take our '05 in for the recall where lights go out. They are just doing the little jumper wire trick to cure the problem. Pretty mickey mouse if you ask me but it is a 10 year old car after all and they are still held liable. Where does it end?

If I remember correctly, about 40 years ago GM had 50% of the market in North America. So what happened?

40 years ago GM had 50% of the N/A market...what happened?

Lazy/arrogant management, lame product + free trade.

You really need to ask?

lol!

And that's what lead to the reincarnation of the "old" GM into the "new" GM ;-)

Right on Owais -- Let's hope the "new GM" can be as successful as it once was.
