I purchased new a 2001 silverado pick-up. I've had to replace the fuel level sensor@ 48000 miles,tailgate straps@ 65000 miles, and now electric window motor/regulator@ 80000 miles. I've tried to work with gm about the problems and possible reenbursment for these repairs as well as my local dealership.
