1999 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado Ext Cab 4x4 5.3 vortec
Summary:
Piece of crap, never a Chevy again
Faults:
Engine replacement at 3500 miles: antifreeze in oil, dealer never found the problem, wanted to clean and install the same engine, told him to take a long walk off a short pier. Had to contact GM Canada for any action, but I got it covered off PLUS 1 month of rental vehicle cost. Got a new engine.
Throttle body used to stick. GM repair notic, not covered under warranty, replacement part installed at dealership.
ABS came on even with ignition off, replaced for $900.
CV joint seals replaced, set for second replacement set (not going to do it, going to buy a Toyota instead).
Autotrac selector switch malfunction: dealer replacement at $200, after threatening to blow up dealership (not literally), dealer knocked $80 off that repair.
Three alternators, three batteries, etc.
General Comments:
Piece of crap, going Japanese for my next truck.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Ya, blame the victim. That's nice how they say it's your fault. I wonder if they have to tell stories like that at the Toyota garage. I'm a Chevy guy too with over 365,000 miles on my Silverado and I don't tolerate any leaks either.
