Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHEVROLET 2500HD DURAMAX IN MAY OF 2015. A WEEK LATER I WAS PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING 10 OVER. MY TRUCK SHOWED I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH. I NOW HAVE A SPEEDING TICKET $114. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID MY VIN# WAS NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL AND I WOULD BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET ($535 INCLUDING LABOR). THE PART ALONE IS $350. NOW AT THE END OF THE DAY I WILL OWE $649 BECAUSE OF GM'S MISTAKE. I LOVE GM'S PRODUCTS, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT STAND UP TO THERE MISTAKES WHICH WILL MAKE ME THINK AGAIN BEFORE BUYING ONE. *TR
