Consumer Description

A few weeks ago, I started noticing a purring, kind of sound coming from my vehicle when I would turn it on. I took it in to Chevy and they said there was a leak or a hole in the exhaust that they needed to be replaced for over $1600 and that wasn’t covered through warranty that it was normal wear and tear. My vehicle has 53,000 miles. They said that it’s common for a vehicle of over five years to have these kinds of issues. And that it wasn’t covered through my warranty. Which expires in April
