I started the procedures today to perform a buy back. Wasn't sure if I was going to post this but I figured I may as well just in case someone has similar issues in the future. I may not even move forward with it but Michigan requires that I contact them and have them make one final attempt.
In the last 3 months I have had use of my car for just under 2 weeks. Short summary is:
-CE light comes on and I take it to dealer. They say it's nothing and clear it
-CE light comes on again a couple days later. I make the earliest appointment I can which is the following week. A couple days before appointment my car goes into limp mode with traction control, stability control, rev match, etc all turn off.
-Dealer scans it and says it needs a HPFP. They order the part and car goes in just over 1 week later.
-Car is at dealer to install HPFP but they scan it again and now they say GM wants them to replace the ECM instead of the HPFP.
-It takes 7 weeks to get the ECM and another week to schedule to get the car in for a total of 8 weeks. They replace the ECM and I drive the car .5 miles and it does it all over again.
-Take the car back to them the next morning and they can't get me in for another week. 1 week goes by and they replace the HPFP and regulator.
-Have the car 1.5 weeks and it did it again 70 miles from my house. So I had to drive in limp mode all the way back to drop it off.
In the end I've made 3 months worth of payments for a car I've used just under 2 weeks. On top of that I kept my wife's Sonata lease which we were going to turn in and I've been driving that.
