Description of the problem | Chevy has a recall #05010 on the secondary steering shaft for the 2005 silverado 1500 series truck. My local chevy dealer diagnosed my truck as having the same problem but since the vin code did not match their recall i would have to pay for the repair. Truck has 41000 miles and has 100,000 power train warranty. I contacted chevy corp customer service and they agreed to pay for the part but not the labor.(87. 50). To me this shows chevy does recognize the problem but not willing to own up for all the repair cost.. This i consider to unjust and think the should pay for the total repair because the have stated this is the same problem which exits on other vehicles.. |
