Consumer Description

WHILE LOOKING AT MY TRUCK AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE SHOP GETTING ALL 4 OF THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED, I NOTICED THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING AND EXTREMELY CORRODED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY LOVER, AND THIS IS MY FIRST NICE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. BOUGHT USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014. SO FAR WE HAVE NOTICED THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY RECALL FROM THE PAST WAS NEVER FIXED ON OUR TRUCK, SO WE HAD TO SHELL OUT ALMOST $900 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES FRONT TO BACK. NOW THE FUEL LINES, THE WINDSHIELD SEEMS LOOSE, THESE ARE ALL RECALLS FROM THE PAST. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PUT A TIME FRAME ON RECALLS CONSIDERING SOME PEOPLE MAY NEVER FIND OUT TIL IT'S TOO LATE, AND OTHERS MAY NOT FIND OUT TIL SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
