This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Shannon starts off this hour in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

Hi, Shannon. How are you?

Good. How are you, Dave?

Better than I deserve. What's up?

Good. So I'm calling because I have a 2019 suburban that literally broke down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere about two months ago.

I finally found out that it needs a new engine. It's under warranty. And basically, we are getting nowhere with

GM and finding out an answer on when we will get a new engine. I have a friend that owns a

body shop where we live, and I kind of said, hey, can you give us some advice? When do you think

we would possibly get a new engine?

Because we're getting nowhere with GM.

He said, let me make a few phone calls and get back to you.

And basically said, I would start shopping for new vehicles.

So here we are unplanned trying to figure out, should we wait, you know, possibly the

three, four, however many months to get my vehicle back.

Since it is under warranty, it's completely paid for, you know, we have the cash to pay for the difference for a new vehicle,

but it's just not the ideal time we weren't planning on getting a new vehicle at all.

Now, in a crummy time to buy a car right now.

It's terrible.

I'm sorry.

What a mess.

So when you talk to the General Motors folks, what are they telling you?
