Ok since this is new to us, Have a few more questions. Why wouldnt the transmission software update be covered by the 5 yr powertrain warranty...Dealer said its not, and cost is $98.00 ?

Should not have. I didn't pay and also did not have the 08 transmission reflash updated until this year, because other dealers just didn't bring it up and of course I didn't know until reading about this on the "Acadia" and the "Enclave" boards.

So are you saying its not covered by the 5 yr 100,000 warranty? Or it is?

interesting...
I would call and ask another GM dealer. Chevy, GMC, Buick. see what they say.

I had called the original Saturn/cadiallac dealer where the car was orginially purchased...I could try some other chevy dealer.

I asked your question on another forum..
the reply was.

"2007 and up- that is a covered repair under the powertrain warranty."

I am saying that it should be. BUT I also still was covered by the B2B. The transmission/drivetrain/engine are all covered under the 5 year and that should include the transmission reflash.

If it is a recall, it will be covered by the manufacturer. If it was just a TSB, it is considered "optional" and may be on your dime. I believe there was both a recall and TSB on the tranny so I don't know....
