Wow, what a mess they created. I had recall done end of December and have driven almost 1500 miles with no issues before or after recall. Only change I have observed is extended regens compared to prior to recall. Now they have Cruze diesels with much different ECU programs.

My fuel economy is always off a little during the winter due to fuel and cold weather. I don't see any difference with economy either other than if it is not regening as often that has a modest positive influence on economy. Just feel bad for the owners with chronic post recall problems.

This is good news, but very bad news as well. I think GM is throwing in the towel on this. If the pre recall software is not totally emissions compliant, and the updates are causing nothing but problems, does that mean they can't get the system to work within the EPA rules? If so what does that mean for us? Will we be in the same boat as VW?

I don't think GM had anything like VW emission issue that wasn't compliant. I think they had some quality issues with keeping the emission system working and not throwing codes and thought they could proactively replace a NOX sensor and reprogram and that might reduce emission related issues. It seems for some this created additional unintended problems. Now they are stopping the recall and reprograming back to original program and continuing to work on a longer term solution. I think it sucks this happened but maybe this will work. Just my view from my corner of the world.

So it seems that GM cannot get it's act together, meanwhile the value of our cars keeps going down and if you try to sell your car prospective buyers stay away because of these issues. So what's next? Class action lawsuit?

What is there to sue about? They are trying to fix the problems, if you have a car that has continual issues work thru the Customer Service and be proactive, they have bought back cars before. This is why we have warranties.

No matter what car you buy, they all depreciate, and all of them have some problems, some more than others.

If anyone hurt the value of diesel cars, it would be the VW folks that did the most damage to the perception of diesel cars.

Paranoia

In JRB's defense he/she has had many headaches and has been harmed by the recall and all the confusion created by it. If I had that car, I may have a similar opinion.

Let's all try to :respect: each others perspectives.

I think I have driven about 4000 miles post recall with no issues yet. It changed my regens so far quite happy about that.
