Production Delays on New Order

[humer101]

So because a few people have had their transmissions replaced, your stance is that over 600 transmissions a day are having to be replaced? I don't buy it. I'm not arguing that there have been zero replaced, but I find your statement outrageous and unbelievable.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you, and you're not trying to use the word, "most."

I guest you right, my bad.

Also I forgot only apply for Denali 8 speed transmission, the rest is safe.

Do you have an actual source for this, making it up, or did you read it on the internet so it must be true?

Seriously, people, substantiate your claims.

General Motors LLC. Specifically, GMC division. Information distributed to dealers who asked.

Is just 5 guys in the forum and a lot in my dealer. Is just base on that.

George,c I just stopped by my dealer, and they placed an order for a new tranny. They seemed to know exactly what was going on..
Thanks Satish, I'm glad I checked in this month....
This is the last guy and we never going to know how many more.

I'll get right on that. Oh, wait...

I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt over me questioning peoples' statements. If you want go about life a certain way,it's cool, don't let some guy on the internet bother you.

I am debating jumping into your same situation by ordering a 2015 Tahoe LT. As of today dealer says I can still order the 2015 and it will take 8-9 weeks. I'm debating whether it's worth it to just wait on the 2016s... I can't find color combo I want anywhere in LT. I have found a few in LTZ but purposely want an LT based on the issues I have read about with magnetic ride control on the LTZs.

I did find this article today about the 2016 changes. None really seems that significant to me except the color as I am wanting to order White Diamond and I don't know what the Iridescent Pearl looks like in person, but I am guessing it's similar.

Also I found this fleet site - if you look under 2016 Tahoe production dates it says "16MY order entry is suspended until further notice" which I find somewhat concerning if it is true? Problems with the 2016s design/production?

I just don't want to order a 2015 and then be in the situation of taking delivery of the vehicle in July/August (banking on some delays) while the 2016s are rolling into the dealership.

I placed an order for a 2015 Denali on 4/7/15. It looks like my vehicle has two production delays: one for simply being a Denali and the other for the Q7M wheels. I don't mind waiting for the vehicle to be built, but it's no fun when there are unexpected delays. I'm kicking myself for not driving to Laura and buying off the lot...

Anyone else in the same boat? The current delays are below:

-5SA Denali may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more due to supplier restrictions- Yukon
-Q7M 22'' Aluminum Wheel may increase lead time by 2-4 weeks due to supplier restrictions - Yukon
-RX1/RXN 22'' LPO Wheels may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more due to supplier restrictions - Yukon
-SLT Package (4SA) may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more due to supplier restrictions - Yukon
-LTZ Package may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more due to supplier restrictions - Tahoe
-PCK Luxury Package may increase lead time by 4 weeks or more due to supplier restrictions - Tahoe

I got my weekly update today, and still no sign of if or when my order may be built. I'm starting to wonder if it may never happen. I'm giving it a few more weeks, and then I'll have to get my deposit back and hunt one down.

GM placed a hold on all trucks with a transfer case. That's all the info I have. I have a completed truck sitting on the shipper lot, and my friend that works at the plant told me that this morning.

Mine was being "shipped" last week. All the way from Arlington, Tx to a dealership in Grapevine, Tx. A whopping 20 miles. Hopefully it gets delivered to me early next week. Since all of our leases are through Donlen, I suppose it takes a little longer.??

Sorry. I don't understand what you are trying to say.

I'm with you. Mine is going 5 miles, from Arlington to Arlington.

 

[AReeves08]

Just got my weekly update and I'm still at 1100. I'm going to get my deposit back and head to Laura. They've had one on the lot that fits what I need for about a month and a half. Fingers crossed it's there for another week!

 

[boodrizzle]

Mine was literally delivered 5 mins ago. Finally!!! It took 11 weeks to the day!

Is this information from the weekly email update? I just subscribed to that service and have yet to see an email so I'm curious to find out what they actually divulge.

I made a deal around 4/15 for a Denali and during the chat I had on the web with GM they told me it had an order accepted status of 5/5. I'm starting to think the dealer never put the order in until I called wondering what my order was, and they couldn't provide it very timely.

That dealer almost surely did not order your car when you said. I my dealer had an order number right when they ordered it. My order then took about 2 days to be accepted by GM. It was ordered on a Thursday and accepted the next Monday.

 

[RD2015]

Thanks for the feedback; I kinda figured this was the case and they waited until the beginning of May to order (or they just screwed it up). Not fully clear on the allocation thing and if it a month to month refresh.

Can anyone tell me how much info comes with these courtesy emails from GM weekly for build updates?

 

[AReeves08]

Just got everything finalized and I'll be picking up my Yukon Denali from Laura on Saturday! Only a couple days and 500 miles between me and the new wheels.

I just noticed that GM jacked the price on the Q7M wheels up to $1495. They were a bargain, not so much now.
