No September 3rd 2016 I was at stutz excavating driving for them and went I got off and walked to my pickup I got in the turned the key and the hour meter was on 00.0 and the miles had 127300 or so I had just change the oil and had over 4000 hrs on my truck someone broke in and hacked my pickup in stutz exc lot and on Dec 20th I was leaving dr bugers lot at 5:10 pm and my head light would not work I got home and the headlights worked fine I since they read about car hacks and pulled the radio fuse and and truck had no more problems infill April 28 my truck would not go I revers and the door locks locks themself and the hrs were going up with driving it the dealer said you can not earese the hour on that truck they are burned in the computer. So if stutz can remove the hour they can remove the miles from the truck I got police reports on the VW jetta but none on the pickup the pickup and car was moving threw edwardsville when the headlights went out I got home with my fog lights and again the edwardsville police are friends with stutz and told me it can't happen so now I live in fear that stutz can shut my lights off on a rainy night on a dark road mike weber at 3832 ramond rd is chris stutz father in law so most of the brack in have been happing at home and again cops refuse to believe

While doing an oil change on my 2005 pu I noticed enough buildup of rust on the brake lines that I stopped driving the truck. I have had pu trucks (Ford) since 1972 and never had an issue with brake lines although I had the trucks for 10 yrs. This is a serious issue of negligence of GM. I am 75 and never had this issue although I had cars and trucks (and motorcycles) since I was 16. I believe this is more serious than ignition switch. Thank you

My 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd had broken exhaust manifold bolts. Repaired at 87,000 miles. Went to dealership today because of exhaust leak and was told there are more broken bolts at 136,000. Obviously there is a defect. Unsafe/raw exhaust leaking into air and cab.

I have had my blower fan motor replaced the dealer just replaced my cigarette lighter when they were replacing my recalled speedometer they said the wires were melted to cig assembly, days later my truck burnt to the ground. The cause was the heater resister and fan motor started this fire. I am out a truck the dealer says that's what insurance is for. Big deal I get 75% of my truck's value. This was a 2005 2500hd extended cab truck in excellent condition. Why do we as customers have to put up with these defects and take the loss. We suffer. The question is how many fires have been associated with this year truck and the factories problems. When do we as high paying customers get some help with or struggle to keep what we paid for still working with out being burnt. Tw*
