Description of the problem | I bought the truck new in 2005, it has been a piece of junk from the start, i have had multiple problems with this truck, replaced both front rotors & hubs, the dealership said this was normal but i think that it is just normal for a junky chevrolet, the main power supply plug on the heater motor melted off and would no longer work, front speakers quite working, front brake lines rusted away and the reservoir was dry and the brake light on the dash never came on for a warning, had to replace all brake lines on the front end of the vehicle, brakes are very weak and most of the time the pedal is very soft and goes to the floor and scares me to death, you don't think that the truck is going to stop, this brake issue is a very big problem !!!, several people that i know have the same model truck have the save exact issues, i will never in my life time buy another chevrolet product as long as i live and i spread this info with anyone who might even think of buying a chevrolet, don't do it, they are junk !!!!!!!!!!!! |
