Engine failure while driving. I have made complaints to chevrolet customer assistance regarding the engine failure on our 3/4 ton diesel truck and until the truck is in engine failure the mechanic cannot determine the cause. Mean while I was told until the computer can determine the cause, nothing can be done.
Windshield wipers worked intermittently. This caused poor visibility while driving in inclement weather. The dealership was notified.
