Sounds like your out of the 48 month warranty. I would check the fine print of GMPP, and see what's excluded.
CTS-V passenger door won't open - GM says not covered by warranty
CTS-V Passenger door won't open Stealership says not covered by warranty
My front passenger door will not open from the outside.
I brought the car into the dealer to have it repaired along with a new supercharger. But the dealer says that the part inside the door is not covered under my GMPP Total 'Plus' Warranty. It's an $85 part & $200 of labour.
I am like wtf! How can a door lock not be covered, it is a safety issue. If the door needs to be opened from the outside in an emergency it can't. What if I have one of my kids in the car up front, and have an accident.
I am so done with GM and their ridiculous rules.
They also will not give me a loaner car while they change the supercharger as it is under a special warranty. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

GMPP is ally, not GM, it was part of the bankruptcy. GM has initiated a new extended warranty program of their own, gmepp, and yes gmepp covers stuff gmpp does not, like the shocks.
I bought he warranty in Canada from the dealer last May, there is no such things a gmepp in Canada

I called GMPP who were great. They conferenced in the dealership and set them straight. Lesson learned, always fight your dealer as they may not really care about you as a customer, but it looks like GM does more

Glad to hear you got it covered. In this case the extended warranty worked out for you. For some it doesn't. Seems like a crap shoot sometimes.I called GMPP who were great.

Stealerships! Shame on you! :want:
So the title should really say "dealer says not covered...."
Glad that GM straightened them out for you.

Fixed.
The funny thing is even after the GM rep told the service manager at my dealership it was covered and that they were using the wrong code, he still wanted to charge me and insisted the GMPP guy was wrong. WTF, I am standing right there and he is trying to argue so I can pay more!!
I think some stealerships try to ensure their reps always get the customers to pay more

This scenario with the dealer reminds me of the line from the movie American Beauty: "Never underestimate the power of denial."
