problem #3

Mar 292018

Silverado 1500 LT 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

I started hearing a ticking noise coming from the driver side, so I took it to a mechanic had an oil change. I told him about the ticking noise and he listen and said it sounds like a pulley. Then he listened more to it and said it sounds like the rocker has some loose bearings. My problem is I can't trust mechanics / dealership servicemen that guesstimate what the problem is. And I really hate that there are sooooooo many codes to maybe one problem and that is a guesstimation as well, but then you are out of pocket and the sh*t is not fixed.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!

THESES DAMN NEW VEHICLES ARE TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE TO BE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS.

I think after every issue I have read concerning this problems, the annoying salesmen from the Chevy dealership call your personal phone and lie to you saying " Someone is in need of your 2013 Chevy Silverado please contact me at this number XXX-XXX-XXXX " WHY" so I can purchase another headache? I think there need to be an investigation and a recall need to be awarded.

Check engine light will come on for a few days and then turns off for a few i had it checked code was P015B 02 sensor - response Lean to rich (bank 1 sensor 1) I thought I fixed it but the Check engine light came back on. The service department at the dealership wanted to charge me 250$ to change the one or as he stated " or i can make a better deal for you if I wanted it done that day". Gone to another mechanic and he told me I needed a tuneup and he wanted to charge me 311$ NO SIR I WILL DO IT MYSELF it is not rocket science also wanted to charge the one 02 sensor 198$. So I bought the 02 sensor socket from Harbor Freight and bought the 02 sensor the dealership because they were cheaper then any part store and fixed it myself.

Simply ridiculous.
