[VIDEO] GM Blocked the Warranty on this Z06 Corvette Despite the Owner Never Flipping His New Car

Check out Corvette Posse’s latest YouTube video – a horror story if you happen to be one of the few thousand owners of a 2023 or 2024 Z06!

He says he bought his brand new Z06 – which is now covered in a matte black wrap – from his dealership on May 24, 2023 – well aware of the first-six-month sales ban imposed by General Motors because he didn’t want to lose his warranty or the 500,000 GM bonus points.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the same dealer a few days ago to get his first free oil change with about 4,000 miles on the odometer, the service advisor came out and told him that the warranty had been blocked by GM, which claims the car had changed ownership just 24 days after the initial purchase.

Standing in front of his Z06 on the video, he points out the obvious – that he didn’t ever sell the car. He didn’t transfer ownership into an LLC or even refinance the loan with another lender.

We’re hoping for his sake that this was just a computer glitch that will be resolved once GM looks into a case that has now been opened about the issue. In the meantime, though, the dealer won’t touch the car so he can’t get it serviced at all. He didn’t say, but we’re assuming that he won’t even be driving the car for fear of doing some kind of expensive mechanical damage that might not be covered if the case doesn’t go in his favor.

From the beginning, we’ve always felt that GM has no business telling a customer what they can or cannot do with their car as far as ownership, especially when there are plenty of dealers who are gouging their customers with so-called “price adjustments” and that’s allowed by GM. Based on the logic behind the original retention policy, which aimed to keep customers from reselling their high-demand cars at a big profit, then those dealer cars also being sold above MSRP shouldn’t have a warranty, either.

Corvette Posse says he is waiting to hear back from GM about this issue, and we’re hoping it’s not a long wait. After all, it appears he did nothing wrong but is being penalized for a GM mistake. He’s also worried that GM will report the warranty block to Carfax and the other auto-tracking sites, potentially cutting the value of his car by tens of thousands of dollars.

We think he deserves some type of compensation for all his pain and suffering, don’t you?
