1996 Chevrolet Silverado review from North America
"I will not keep this vehicle, too many costs involved with keeping it running"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went out at 75,000 miles.
My fuel pump has gone out 8 times in the last 30,000 miles.
The interior panels and dashboard have cracked or lost adhesiveness.
General comments?
This truck rides very smooth, but it does not handle as well as expected. I bought the Chevy because of the supposed good name. I was disappointed with the lack of longevity on the mechanical and electrical systems.
