problem #3

Jan 162018

Avalanche LTZ

  • Automatic transmission
  • 96,500 miles

The dealer now really berated me, I think because I am a "dumb blonde" who doesn't maintain her truck. They told me again that I had not been changing my oil often enough. BS! I took it to the "quick lube" affiliated with the dealership before recommended time was up. When I asked them to check their records they were conveniently unable to do so. I went to the Quick Lube place, twice. I waited about an hour for them to be able to get someone to print the documents, but no one ever appeared. How hard is it to print from a computer?

Dealer told me to keep changing my oil and he replaced the spark plug in cylinder #1 again.

problem #2

Three strikes and you are out. This time I was told I need a new engine. NOT under warranty. NOT their problem. It would cost almost $9K. I took it to an independent service shop who I trust and they confirmed that cylinder #1 had gone bad and I did indeed need a new engine. He confirmed that this was a problem with this Chevy engine.
