Consumer Description

CHEVROLET HAS A DEFECTIVE CLIP THAT IS ON THIER EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AND THEY KNOW THIS BUT ARE NOT DOING A RECALL TO TRY AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY STILL ARE NOT ACCEPTING FAULT AND ARE MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY FOR THIER MISTAKE. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS TO THEM I DID GET THEM TO AGREE TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE FIX ON MY 1/2 TON PICK-UP. MY QUESTION IS WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? IT IS NOT SO MUCH THE MONEY I HAD TO PUT OUT OF POCKET BUT THE FACT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM ON ALL OF THIER TRUCKS MADE AFTER 1999.*AK
