38900 miles: Engine would not turn over, on sporatically. Found that it was a security device in the ignition switch that kills the fuel to the injectors. This had malfunctioned.
41000 miles: Driver door actuator failed to lock the door with the key-less remote.
41500 miles: service engine soon light. Dealer claims it was part of the ignition switch problem. Reset it.
43500 miles: service engine soon light. Dealership says it is a sticking valve and requires an entire valve job. Already?
Like a Rock. I think a dirt clod has better reliability. Never will buy American again. You would think Chevy would know how to build trucks by now. I am currently back to driving my reliable 1987 Nissan Pathfinder with 175000 miles on it and no problems..
It sounds as if people do not know how to take care of their truck. By getting things looked at and/or fixed early, they could have saved lots of time and money. My Tahoe has 130000 miles and has required only minor repairs, but I take great care of my truck.
First of all the Tahoe and the Vortec 5700 is a rock solid choice... go and try to repair a Japanese counterpart and see what that runs you...
The chevy does eat gas, but parts are cheap and you can actually get under the hood to do repairs...
Good luck with your foreign truck purchase.
