Parts? I can't even get a whole new vehicle. A couple months ago I commissioned the build of a new Quigley 4 wheel drive van. Delivery was to be July 15th. The van got to Quigley for the mods I had specified and it is still setting there. According to the selling dealership in yet another conversation this morning, the factory put a bunch of glass in these vans that does not meet the Federal safety standards. They having been fighting over this for a month and GMC played the "duh" card. Finally last Friday a safety recall was forced by the Feds and now my van is supposed to go back for glass that does not currently exist. Meanwhile Quigley can not complete the conversion as they become the builder of record much like a RV company. So, a fair chunk of my money sets there in their hands and my van is probably not going to be here in time for the Alaska excursion we have planned. I can't imagine how it would be for someone who's livelihood depends on it.
