Description of the problem | The catalytic converter had strong sulfur smell after the first year. I complained to chevy dealer and was told there was no problem. By year three i complained for the third time again was told no problem the computer didn't show a code. I asked the mechanic to take it for a drive he returned saying the cat was junk it was replaced and i was told only to run top tier gas i did that but after about 8 months it smelled again my truck is just five years old and i need another converter, my power locks have each been replaced three times in second and third year. Now i need new airbag sensor and my truck has never been hit . |
