problem #1

Silverado 2500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,175 miles
: the contact stated the vehicle had a defect in the exhaust pipe. The dealership made the repairs according to the General Motors bulletin. After the repairs, the brackets were observed extended 3.5 to 4 inches from the vehicles frame. This repair created a safety problem because the bracket could easily collide with road bumps. When the manufacturer and dealership were contacted both offered to return the exhaust pipe to its original status, which the contact considered unacceptable.
