ParticipantWell, I got a surprise request to sign a form stating that my truck would be missing components due to the chip shortage. No prior notice NOTHING. Then reading the form it says that I get a 50 dollar credit. And that GM would retrofit the missing components late summer. Not providing any specificity on what is left out, nor if it will be original equipment, and the dealership says they have no Idea. But they are OK because they can sell the truck to someone else if I don’t want it. THIS AFTER WAITING for 2 Months for delivery!!!! Now thats a way to treat a customer. The form says I cannot complain or sue for the missing parts. Complain????? So I wouldn’t be able to tell people? What kind of company is this. The form should just say that I agree that I am taking delivery of the truck with this pending. What is with all the other legal gibberish? Whats wrong with GM?

ParticipantMy dealer mentioned this would be the case with heated and ventilated seats on my Yukon XL. Said originally GM was just going to ship these without those features, and the dealers banded together and said not to do that to the customers, that these features were important to the customer. I Also talked to a friend who has same issue w/ a traverse he just bought.
I am personally OK with it. It’s better than what they had been doing which is de-featuring things and you just go without (wireless charging, steering column lock and Auto Start/Stop). At least this way you actually will get the stuff. I guess the alternative is just wait till all the parts arrive and you don’t get your truck till late summer?

ParticipantLet’s hope they follow through with the parts and don’t change their mind, I’m only 10weeks into my order and had zero progress so far.

Participantwas the $50.00 for all of the missing components? or was the $50.00 per item? I read an article GM was considering offering $50 per missing component.

ParticipantHeated rear seats are a $200 credit, good luck installing rear heated seats for $200. The parts alone cost more

ParticipantAnthony, you are missing the point…
At least as I understand it for the Heated Seats…they are giving a credit AND are going to retrofit when parts are available.
The way my dealer explained it to me, the elements would be in the seats, and the switches would be present, but the brains to make it all work were missing, and those modules would be added when they were available.
So, you get $200 credit for inconvenience of not having it on day 1, and you get it when parts are available.

If you’re getting the 200 dollar credit you are NOT getting any retrofits. The 50 dollar is for the “inconvenience” and will be retrofitted. Anything above the 50 is because they don’t have any portions included. And don’t plan on adding them back for you later. You are SOL on that one. -

ParticipantNot true — the $50 credit is forever…you don’t get a retrofit.
The larger items I think get retrofitted…
This is what my dealer told me.I will be able to tell you for sure around beginning of Feb, when I pick up my Yukon XL and go through the process.
From the info I have, my build has 2 items w/ $50 credits:
Not Equipped with 4 way lumbar, Equipped with 2 way
Not Equipped w/ Steering Column Lock-

ParticipantMy Silverado 1500 has the $50 credit for no heated seats and $25 credit for no heated steering wheel on the window sticker, and it says includes later retrofit. Dealer told me I get the credit and they will be added later
