If you took a warranty problem to the dealer, then dealer must do everything possible to dump that warranty cost on you. This directly traceable to GM that too long has been run by bean counters.
Well, my son had a warranty claim denied by Volkswagen, with a nice volley between the dealer and national. In the end he had to pay out of pocket for the entire repair from a third party shop.
