Description of the problem | Engine bearing failure: premature, chevrolet accepts no responsibility, no offer to help repair (probably linked to odi id's 717356,465597,837150,525624,811729, and 487859. ||| abs brake failure: occurred while attempting to avoid a collision. Truck skidded for over 90 feet before striking curb and utility fixtures. Gm denied any possibility that the brakes failed. Gm offered no assistance to have brakes examined or repaired for defects. ||| cruise control - stopped working. ||| transfer case failure - truck tries to engage 4wd intermittently while driving (grinding noise). First trip to dealer, said that the problem was brakes ($400 later still grinding). 2nd time, problem found to be defective vacuum switch (damage occurred inside transfer case due to failure). 3rd time chevrolet recommends replacing engine for bearing failure before starting on the transfer case. ||| all cases, gm declined financial assistance. In the case of abs brake failure, gm reps did not want to talk to me or look at the problem. I am tired of dealing with chevrolet's customer no-service group!!!*ak |
