What owners wrote

Takata recall-I was in a wreck 12-24-2017 and I was hit from behind. The bed of my truck was hit so hard by a distracted driver while I was at a stop light, that it twisted up and hit the cab of the truck. My airbags never deployed and my seatbelt never locked up. I am severely injured and am still seeking treatment for my injuries. It was over $11,000 in damages. The truck now down shifts and it sounds likie the bottom is dropping out. It also shakes when at highway speed.

Catalytic converter failed with less than 80,000 miles. The truck was taken to dealership, denooyer chevrolet, from which it had been bought new and by which it had always been serviced to remedy the check engine light prior to 80,000 miles with authorization to perform any diagnostic and remediation covered under warranty. Dealer did not make repair and advised it would cost me hundreds of dollars to even find out what was wrong.
