Example complaints

“I have a recall letter from GM canada concerning antilock brakes. When I took the van to be fixed, the dealer would not do it because the van was converted to an rv by roadtrek and it would require 16 hours labor to repair the brakes. Neither GM or roadtrek would cover the cost. How can I get this resolved.”
