Consumer Description

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, I STARTED TO HEAR A TICKING AT STARTUP AND SOMETIME AN EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CAB. I FOUND 2 EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN ON EACH SIDE. IT CAN GET BAD ENOUGH TO OPEN A WINDOW AT TIMES. DEALER SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON A EMISSIONS AND SAFETY ISSUE. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I SEE IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 1999.WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIR? IF I HAVE AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR WOULD GM EVER COVER IT OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE DONE BY A HIGH COST DEALERSHIP? THEY GOT VW FOR EMISSIONS WHAT ABOUT GM?
