NHTSA Complaint #707323 — 1997 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

THE AIR-CONDITIONER WAS COOLING FINE ONE DAY THEN THE NEXT IT WOULDN'T BLOW COOL AIR AT ALL. SO I TAKE IT TO THE CHEVROLET MECHANIC HE SAID THE COMPRESSOR WAS SHOT AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $700 TO FIX IT. ONE EVENING I WENT TO CRANK MY TRUCK AND IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT CLICK WELL GUESS WHAT IT WAS THE STARTER NOT CHEAP ANOTHER $60. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE COP STOPS ME AND TELLS ME THAT I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE LUCKILY HE WARNED ME BUT A NEW HARNESS COST LIKE $50.ALSO MY POWER STERRING PUMP THAT HAS WENT OUT TWICE IN LESS THAN A YEAR COSTING ABOUT $80 EACH TIME.THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT THIS MAY BE THE LAST CHEVY THAT I EVER OWN AND THAT IS SAYING A LOT BECAUSE I MYSELF HAS OWNED FOUR MY FAMILY THREE THAT IS SEVEN IF I CAN ADD, SO THAT COULD BE ALOT OF VEHICLES THAT COULD GO TO ANOTHER MAKE ALL TOGETHER. THIS IS NOT A THREAT JUS WANT MY AIR-CONDITIONER FIXED, BUT THEY SAY THAT THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER JUST MY LUCK. *AK
