What owners wrote

Tl* - the contact said that the cap and rotor that goes to the spark plug had been replaced, because of a recall. The contact said that the parts went bad a year later. He took the truck back to the dealer (pearson buick GMC) and they replace the parts again, but they charged him $100 for his warranty use. The contact said that since the parts are still under recall why did they charge him for this warranty use? The contact has repair orders for all the work.

State inspection my truck failed due to gasoline rusted and leaking gas,rear shackles rusted thru, parking break won't hold corrosion. I have never had so many rusted out parts on my truck before, the gas line should not rust thru this is a safety issue. Shackles rusted thru what gives my old 88 never had any of these problem please do a recall.
