Consumer Description
Wife and I bought a truck from Serra Chevrolet on May 28 2024. We drove 180 miles and the engine blew up. Had it towed to another dealership in Louisville Kentucky at that point they replaced the engine. When we picked up the truck we had to pay $16,275.08. We contacted Gm and was told that the selling dealership should have taken it off of being certified pre owned but they didn’t. Was told they know to do it to future vehicles and there is no reimbursement . Gm website still has it listed of have a warranty till December 2025. We had 3 weeks of a truck rental at roughly $1,200.00 per week. Had another rental for another. 3 weeks I have paper work from a local dealer stating it still has warranty which would have covered complete expense of engine work We live in Ohio and had to travel back and forth 6 times. Hope there is some help for us.
