| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a chevrolet pickup 1500 with the turbo 6.5 diesel engine. i had problems with it from day one. i would be going down the road and the engine would shut off and turn on by itself. when i told mechanics, they laughed at me. chevrolet told me it was the fuel injector, i changed it,didn't make a difference. then no codes would come up when on the tech's computer, even when automobile repeated problem. it was assumed on many occasions what it was and at my expense i changed many parts that never made a difference. i was told that it was probably the wiring harness, but could not be gaurenteed because no code came up. this would have made it an electrical problem. i could not afford to keep spending money. i'm a single parent and this truck was how i made my living.(i haul oilfield equipment). well the truck stalled on me and would not start. before i could have it towed back home, it burned. according to the investigation, cause was undetermined. now, it could be 2 things, i did try and go start it again that nite, and something happened and it caught fire, or it was vandalized. either could have been prevented had my truck been fixed. i have all my repair reciepts not to mention a substantial amount of people that can back up my claim on how much i put into fixing this truck. it was a wonderful truck and ran beautifully when it ran! this unfortunate incident hasnot only cost me my vehicle but my lively hood! i' m dealing with chevrolet, but i've been told to take it up with the insurance company!? all the insurance company is doing is paying some of it off, with the miles i had on it, i still have a balance on it after they pay! so not only am i without a vehicle, i'm still paying on it.*ak |
