Consumer Description

AT 44,000 MILES THE OIL PAN LEAKED. TOOK IT TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP, HAD IT FIXED. I HAVE 47000 MILES ON IT NOW. SAME ISSUE HAPPENED, TOOK IT TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE OIL PAN AND HAS TO ORDER A WHOLE NEW OIL PAN. THEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLS ME BACK AND TELLS ME I HAVE BAD OIL COOLING LINES, BUT WANTS ME TO PAY FOR IT. NO WAY, SORRY. CHEVY NEEDS TO STOP MAKING CHEAP JUNK. TRUCK IS 3 YRS OLD AND LESS THEN 50K MILES. I HAVE HAD A FEW OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK IN THE 3 YRS TIME. OIL COOLING LINES KEEPS THE OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE FROM GETTING TO HOT. IT CAN BE A HAZARD FOR THE LINES TO LEAK AND OR THE OIL TO GET TO HOT AND RUIN THE ENGINE CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES WITH PUTTING BUILDS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAYS. OIL COOLING LINES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND NOT BUMPER TO BUMPER. SOMETHING LIKE THESE OIL COOLING LINES ONLY LAST FOR 3 YRS SHOULD OR LESS THAN 50K MILES IS UNCALLED FOR AND SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER A RECALL! PERIOD! CHEVY AND GM HAS WENT THE CHEAP ROUTE AND THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY. WILL NEVER, EVER TELL SOMEONE TO BUY A AMERICA MADE PRODUCT LIKE CHEVY/GM.
