Installation & Setup
Reviewed March 29, 2024
Sixteen months ago, I leased a Silverado with the expectation that the Park Assist Retrofit sensor, which was promised to be available shortly after my purchase, would be included. However, the part is only now becoming available for installation on my truck. Throughout this time, I've been making monthly payments that account for these features, even though they haven't been present. If the equipment wasn't included in the first place, my payments would have been lower. Despite this discrepancy, GM has stated that they cannot offer any resolution. Why should I continue making payments for features that I haven't received for over 16 months with no option to be credited to my account or anything? This is my 4th GM lease and I won't be coming back.

Totally scammed for $500. Who charges that much for a one working and one retired couple? Now only one retired. The Aiken SC branch charged way too much. There were no additional needed input except for one low salaried W2 and social security which is not taxed in our state. She trumped up and exaggerated facts and lied, even what we felt was like extortion, to charge us more for unnecessary extras. NEVER AGAIN. And I wish there was a way to refund the theft. By the way, we went to a nearby tax preparer and the cost was $50. And they got us a better refund amending HR Block's scam.

What a completely incompetent company. They reported a late payment towards the end of my lease on my credit and it was not even close to late. They also took an extra payment on my last payment and it’s been over 30 days and still no refund. I am done with Chevy.

I often overpay on my auto loan to bring down my principal and pay off the loan quicker. With GM, you have to contact them to ask them to apply it to principal. Most financial agencies automatically do that. Anyway, on my last pmt, I over paid by $900. I made the phone call. They told me it would be taken care of. Two weeks and five phone calls later, still not done. I’m getting the runaround. I don’t think it’s ever going to be properly applied and I just wasted the overpayment. They are incompetent and it’s been nothing but frustrating and stressful. I wouldn’t use them. I can’t wait to pay off this loan early and just be done with them. I will be filing a complaint with my state attorney general's office.

If all you are ever going to do is pay your bill on time, they are great. I had zero issue for 3 years. But then, my car was sadly damaged in a hail storm. The insurance company gave me the option to sign the check over to the finance company, and they would pay the bill and if there was a balance left over it would be applied to my loan. Or I had the option to sign it over to the auto shop and they just keep the balance. Seemed like a straightforward decision. I called, asked what information they needed in order to pay the shop so I could get my car back. It took about 12 different calls, and numerous reps telling me, or basically threatening me that if everything wasn't done to a T, they would not pay and they would keep the check and I would not get my car back.
Who do you think you are? You don't pay my insurance. Do you think you are the only bank out there? I never did get any real help from them. I refinanced with a much more helpful company the next day. Amazingly my problem was gone after that. I will never use this bank again. Disgusting customer service and clearly culture. Because it was not just one person. They are trained that way.

We have leased several vehicles through GM Finance for years. Our last leased vehicle we purchased off the lease at the end of June 2023 through GM Mode Financial per GM Finances rules if you want GM Finance. The purchase was seamless and easy. So GM Mode got the hard part of the process right. Unfortunately, it’s the easy part they messed up horribly. There is a license plate questionnaire for vanity plates and whether you want to keep your vanity plates. The vehicle we purchased off the lease had vanity plates and we wanted to keep the vanity plates and responded accordingly. Imagine our surprise when new plates were delivered to us on July 25, 2023. We contacted the DMV and were told GM Mode requested new plates and there was no mention of transferring the current vanity plates. We contacted GM Mode Financial and we’re told it would take 1-2 days for them to figure out what happened and they would get back to us.
No one got back to us. We contacted them again and the response was they are waiting for the title company to respond to them. Tomorrow it will be a week and there is no resolution. GM Mode has not contacted us. We assume this is a common error, therefore, it should be pretty easy to fix but GM Mode needs to fix it because they have the title in their possession. The customer service of GM Mode Financial is horrible and the parent company GM Financial should ultimately be held accountable. We did reach out to the parent company GM Financial about the issue and they said they couldn’t address this error and that GM Mode Financial needs to address it. With all the car makers out there, it’s hard to understand how foolish GM Financial is to be willing to lose customers over something as easy as correcting a plate transfer error because their customer service is horrendous.

In June 2022 my husband's father died and we were told by the TX Judge we could not take possession of any of his property until after probate. We were trying to take over payments on his 2020 GM Colorado. GM wanted us to pay off the truck but we did not want to pay for something we were unable to physically get possession of. 9 months later probate was over and we contacted GM Financial to let them know we have possession of the truck and have the money to send them a check for pay off. My credit union representative spoke to a GM representative by the way. This had to be done on a conference call with my husband's sister because they refused to speak to anyone except the executor of my husband's dad's estate. My credit union rep had to know what they needed from her and she also needed some paperwork from them. Some paperwork was sent to both parties that evening.
(3) days later they repossessed the truck from our drive way. After 4-5 days of requesting the 10 day pay off and being told by multiple people GM doesn't send out those my Credit union Rep who knew of the situation went ahead and sent them a photocopy of the check and tracking number hoping they would turn over the truck back to us. They refused to speak to anyone but my husband's sister and refused to tell us where to go to pick up the truck or even our personal belongings which had my badge for work in it for 10 days after they cashed the check and it had cleared. Also as far as I know our credit union rep has never received the 10 day pay off. I do want to say Thank you to Jose and Patrick the only two GM representatives that really went above and beyond to help us. GM Financial is a horrible company and multiple reps that work for the company were unhelpful as well as extremely rude. Work with this company at your own risk.

23 months ago I'm leasing a Chevy truck. Today I'm looking at trading it in for another 3 year lease. But I'm told it's going to be 660 a month.. As I'm looking to retire soon I can't afford it. Why is GM doing this?!

Gm claimed my mom vehicle was 3 months behind. Gathered all receipts from 2023. Emailed them. Got no response. Now they claiming 3 missed payments in 2021. Emailed those as well. No response. This lady is 80 years old. Has 2 blind children. One in dialysis and these people do not care. We have every receipt with the account numbers on them. Her husband is deceased and passed away in 2019. She has made every payment since. I hope someone is paying attention to these reviews and steps in. What they are doing is illegal. In Louisiana you have to miss 3 or more consecutive payments for repossession. She has only missed one in December 2022.

I paid them a monthly payment. They said it arrived on a weekend. I had mailed it 10 days prior from NJ to Phoenix. An office in Texas said they got it hours after they sent a Repo truck to take my car away. So they not only took my payment but they took the car away. Bank said it can’t help to cancel check sent, so they not only stole the car but they also stole my payment. Recommend to never buy or lease a car from them!
