While looking at my truck after getting it back from the shop getting all 4 of the brake lines replaced, i noticed the fuel lines are leaking and extremely corroded. I have always been a chevy lover, and this is my first nice vehicle i have ever owned. Bought used in september of 2014. So far we have noticed that just about every recall from the past was never fixed on our truck, so we had to shell out almost $900…

On multiple occasions the vehicle has lost power at highway speed and the engine dies. After a few attempts the engine restarts and operates normally for an unpredictable interval. This has happened at least 10 times. The authorized dealer and other mechanic shops have not been able to diagnose the reason for the power failure as they have not been able to cause it to duplicate failure when they have it. This sudden…
