“Replaced the transmission 4 times, recall on seats were fixed but bolts keep breaking so I bought new seats of a differnt style and replaced them after a 5 year problem. Paint has been flaking off the truck for appoximately 4 yrs and I cant get the dealer or GM to do anything with this paint problem. They say it is because I am the second owner. The truck was in an accident but the top of the cab and the bed is all that needs painted, and they were not damaged in anyway because of the accident.”
