A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
A week after I bought this truck the engine light came on. Went back to the dealer. 2 days later, picked it up and ran fine for a few months. They stated not sure what the problem was. They reset the computer. Next getting ready for work one morning truck did not want to start. Called a friend that just happens to work for the dealership as a mechanic. Ran a diagnostic and said it needed the throttle body. after couple of hundred dollars the truck started right up.
6-7 months later, engine light on again. Called another mechanic, ran another diagnostic. Showed 2 codes; one bad thermostat and catalytic converter. After replacing this parts and doing work myself, truck was ready. So I thought, after all what else can go wrong right? Well I'll tell you, one month later, NO OIL PRESSURE.
Went and purchased a manual, they suggested its either oil sensor or oil pump. Trying to save a buck I bought the sensor, replaced it, you guessed it that was not the problem. To replace the oil pump was a learning experience. Working on this project only on weekends, took me 2 months.
This is now May 2015 on the way back from out of town dam light is on once again. Truck has 134000 miles just paid off cannot afford payments guess I'm just stuck with this sorry Chevy. P.S did I mentioned the ac control only works 1-3, the gas meter doesn't work, and the ignition switch does not release the key, I have taken the cover off the steering column (bottom) to press a release button in order to get the key out.
CAN ANYBODY MAKE ME UNDERSTAND WHY THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEING RECALLED PLEASE.
