“This vehicle was bought new from trabucco Chevrolet. This is the second time, that the left rear axle came off the truck. The first time this happened I contacted trabucco. They stated too many miles were on the truck, and they couldn't do anything for me because the vehicle was being used as commercial delivery VAN.”
