Tranny, ABS, cooling system, tailgate, etc. I bought the truck 2003 didn't exchange title until later recall when I first bought it under 50,000 mile warranty. I file an complain recall repair still having same problem. Sad thing my father is an retired employee in dallas location. Researched the recalls from previously and present same results.
Dt: the contact owns a 2001 chevrolet truck and was having problems with the brakes. The first time there was an incident where he tried to stop the vehicle but could not stop. As a result the consumer's vehicle hit another vehicle. The second time the consumer was trying to stop for a stop sign but could not stop. The service dealer turned the rotors at 4,000 miles. The first time the dealer replaced the both front bearings and ABS sensors. The consumer had to pay for this repair.
