"Like a Rock?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear windshield wiper didn't work when I bought the truck.

Front brakes wear to easily.

Fuel injectors had to be replaced at 120,000 miles. ($600.00)

Exhaust replaced at 100,000 miles.

Serpentine replaced at 110,000 miles.

Starter replaced at 100,000 miles.

Oh yea. Engine seized 2 weeks after fuel injectors were replaced, at about 121,000 miles. (brand new engine with 3yr GM warranty $3,000 installed)

ABS haven't worked since I bought the truck, GM did have a recall for something to do with this, but they fixed that part and claim my problem goes further.

Shocks are a bit soft now... replacing soon, also needs new breaks within weeks.

General comments?

My truck does look great. I keep up on the body, have put a few accessories on, and it does turn heads.

Reliability sucks. Creeks and rattles a bit too much.

Stock sound system is crap..3 of six speakers "sometimes" work.

The only reason I have not sold this car is because although it's been a headache and expensive. With only a few more minor repairs it should be ready for me to drive into the ground for several more years. Chevy's expression "Like a Rock" or "We'll be there" should say in small print..."after several thousand dollars in repairs, and several rental cars."

The repairs described above are the normal mileages to be changed. And an engine seizing has nothing to do with fuel injectors. Was there oil in it? Anyone can seize any engine if you push it too hard without enough oil. Normal repairs at normal mileage. If you expect to go 200,000 before any repairs then wait about 20 years when the technology has got there.
