| Description of the problem | I bought my 2008 chevrolet tahoe brand new. People laugh at me because i've always dealt with the dealership on everything including all oil changes. Now i'm being told that i have lifter and cam problems. I complained about the engine light being on 5 months prior to be told this. I was informed that the check engine light was on because of the tps sticking. I'm a single mother of 2. I purchased a new vehicle not to have these kind of problems especially since i've always taken my truck to the dealership. I cant afford a new engine, my truck is parked and i have to get rides to work from co-workers. I cant sleep nor work. |
