Consumer Description
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

IVE SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED 4TH REPAIR ATTEMPT TO GM BEFORE I CAN AND WILL LEMON LAW MINE BUT A MUCH BIGGER PREOBLEM IS GOING ON THAT ISNT BEING LOOKED AT WITH THESE TRUCKS.
